Hello all, I have the opportunity to buy this watch from a friend. I would like to know if there is fake of this modern AP, or not ? Here is a picture of the dial Thank for helping ! View attachment 312689
Whoever installed them had been drinking. Well of course it does, that's an awful photo! OP should perhaps try again, and include caseback with serial, and a few other views.
Here's a real one : spot the differences... OP is fake or butchered beyond recognition. That picture is terrible though
Not sure those two things are enough to determine if it's real or not. The screws (actually nuts) can be oriented incorrectly at assembly after a service (by someone who didn't pay attention or didn't care), and a bad refinish job can result in the wrong brushing on the bezel. The photo is so bad it's hard to tell, but I can see vertical lines on the bezel that may indicate brushing...would need more information to be sure. I have more concerns about the lugs... Cheers, Al
"H" screws should be perfectly aligned as previously states, date window is lacking dept. Dial texture isn't right either, should show more depth. I personally think AP's finishing is what makes their pieces quality above all, you should be able to see that finish, as seen in this ROO Panda photo provided. 100% pass on this one OP! Best, Thomas
