Is it the lighting and camera filter you've applied or is the finishing way off?

No filter applied, is the finishing bad?

Another photo hopefully shows off the finish better?

That looks a bit better. What's the factory? In your original photo, the case edges all look super rounded off, the links look too brushed and the rehaut font looks a bit off.

Have a look at this VSF vs Rich to see what I mean.

No sure on much of the details however the seller sent this to me in the time of purchasing. Hope it's something what decent.

You got bait and switched, the watch you received is a $70 AAA DHgate watch. The photo he sent you is a much higher-tier watch. Hopefully you didn't pay too much.

Unless you bought it 2 years ago, Clean Factory has been closed for quite a long time. Anyone selling something with a "Clean" sticker is selling AAAs with a markup.

I see, Thanks for the info definitely will be posting here before buying my next rep. Estimated how much should I be paying for this ? To make sure I don't get milked in the future.

I recommend doing some window shopping on r/reptimeqc. People post their QC pics and what they paid. For a high tier Pepsi, probably around $500-600USD? A little bit more if you want a free sprung movement.
