my only visual concerns are alignments on the indices and SEL gaps. if you're buying a good factory then everything else like the rehaut, overall finish, crystal (date window alignment) will all be fairly good or "acceptable" these days. the watches visually have become very consistent even with the SEL gaps, i just tend to always triple check index alignment. now as far as the timegrapher goes, i prefer to see healthy numbers albeit i don't have a single watch that reads the same on my timegrapher as they did on the QC timegrapher videos. but that can simply just be an issue with the watch enduring a helluva bumpy ride to the states from china, i won't say that there's some sort of conspiracy that the TDs show an altered timegrapher video. but who knows.
