Way cool watch, but am I the only one who sees the tool marks on all of the hex screw heads? I know it is impossible to assemble without some trace of this, but I guess for the kind of money this thing will fetch I feel like they could be more careful?

You are so right: The pvd chiped on the left end of the flat facets. It's there that the torque apply hardest when you screw those heads clockwise...Even the bottom of the heads lost some black patina.
I guess that the hardened steel of the key wasn't the right choice: They could have done better for the price.
Maybe by using another softer material made of hard composite plastic for the key...
Or use polished steel screw: It would have give more relief to the all movement. Maybe platinum screws...
Anyway: That was a killing detail. Well seen Focal!
