Cut properly as in the facets are there and the meet points line up with acceptable polish and crown height is acceptable.. sure no problem.
Cut properly so it has pleasing patterns face up and dances under tilt without to much obstruction and leakage is not done with a loupe it is done viewing the diamond in different lighting.
I think you just defined what makes Asschers so challenging and so much fun.
So I'm assuming they can be text book cut yet not be eye appealing? They are in fact a challenge then.

Why is it with asschers in particular that the models are not great and cannot be followed close enough? Does that go for all fancies too?
And with the one company, why is it only half the time? Loss in weight which equals loss in revenue?
