For a second, I thought you were reviewing a gen watch you purchased...
I've always needed to tinker with my watches after receiving them. Tightening screws, realigning parts, disassembling to remove dust, etc. There is NO real "quality control" from any of our dealers, even DSN. I've purchased over 10 watches from him a couple years ago without any major issues but were all manual winds.
I would say over 75% of reps I have purchased (over 70) have been duds or have had some issues. After all, you are buying a replica watch.
