I like to look at Craigslist at work find things all over it like a Rolex for 250 bucks saw a Tag Heuer today that looks like it was built with a hammer
Today there is a Royal Oak with box and papers https://houston.craigslist.org/jwl/d/audemars-piguet-royal-oak/6475540754.html there are a lot of watches but if its real who the hell sells a Roal Oak offshore chronograph on Craigslist? my guess Craigslist killer

Seems I may have posted this in it's own thread before seeing this sticky, oops!

Self-admitted "newb" here.

I've had my eye on an Orange Bezel 45.5mm PO for quite some time and today, I finally had to the chance to grab one off eBay. Time was running out and I didn't have a chance to give it a proper vet, but, based on photo and seller feedback, I took my chances and won. Now, giving it a proper look-over, I am having my doubts (I haven't paid yet - want to be 100% sure before I do).

I suppose my question is - did the 2200.51 EVER come with a Orange Bezel? Or does the 2500 45.5mm Orange Bezel PO have it's own reference number? As you can see in the posting, the reference number mention 2200.51.00 - and after hours of searching, I couldn't find any PO's ANYWHERE that had an orange bezel and had that reference number - unless they specifically mentioned that they had been swapped. I wrote the seller and he states it's the "original bezel" but based on my research, that doesn't seem to be the case.

Can you all take a look - let me know what you think - it would be much appreciated. Should things check out positively, it'll be my first PO 😀
Thanks,

Bryan

It's suspicious that there are no pictures of the back. One of the primary ways of determining if these are legit is the presence of a silicone balance wheel. The fakes are still gold tone but otherwise the movement looks pretty similar.
