I would tend to agree with the OP on this one. For that amount of money, even entry level Patek’s we’re talking about lots of money here. I would expect there to be higher QC and if we’re comparing it to Grand Seiko, then yes, I’d expect much more on the 5164a.

I haven’t put either one of my Patek’s under the macro, so who am I to say whether these flaws are coming across all models and pieces?
