Slightly strange that the QC show so little distortion. Maybe shot that way?

GEN for reference

yes that’s why I was wondering if we could see more qc pics. Distortion is missing on 2 qc pictures so it’s possible that crystal they are using is not that greats.
im actually thinking about buying XF and comparing it to my noob.

We will wait for you to have it in your hand and tell us about the distortion and level of finishes

Can you take some pics or a video of the movement finishing in daylight / the sun? It looks very rough on Trusty's site, but his pics are very flat and over-edited.

Like the case, dial, hands, movement but I think crystal needs to be replaced. I’ve seen many pics of this xf pam127 and it seek there is not enough distortion. It looks more like crystal from 690 or even 605 than 127.

Do you know of a good replacement? I've found crystals online, WSO for example, but there are no reviews so you don't know if you're buying a decent product or just more of the same.

Are there any pictures of how much distortion those WSO crystals have? If no, it would be hit or miss.
They could be better than stock xf or worst. Maybe some other member could point good crystal with distortion for 127.
I would also wait till you get XF 127 because maybe you will be fine with stock XF crystal.

Looking at those last set of QC pics, the distortion really doesn't look that bad at all in my opinion?!

I had an old V6f 127 that had too much distortion! I reckon these look better.

Whilst I appreciate my eyesight is not the best, I’m struggling to see much of a difference in distortion.

i can see the difference in those 2 pictures. XF crystal looks close to Pam605.
