From dresselldesigns.bigcartel.com:
"The second edition of Dressell Design's 5050 AL yo-yo released May 05, 2022. The first and only 1:1 organic yo-yo. Made of 6061, this yo-yo exudes comfort and fun without sacrificing on play. A truly unique yo-yo that you have to try for yourself!

Diameter: 50mm
Width: 50mm
Weight: 59.5gm
Bearing: Size D
Material: 6061 aluminum

This run of 5050s has machining marks on the far edge of the rim. They do not affect play and you cannot feel them, but we dropped the price on every 5050 color by five dollars."

Apparently, the entire second run of 5050 (the first run was released October 9, 2021) had machine marks. So, essentially, regardless of where you bought the yo-yo, all were sold as B-grade yo-yos. The version is this exhibit, known as Orange Fade, was exclusive to Spingear in Japan, but it was sold at the full retail price of 7800 Yen ($60 US).
