Thanks for sharing!! I enjoyed reading it!!! The newer model is awesome and nice!! All this while, I thought those older model that are up for sale or bid are not original from Audemars Piguet. Last year, I was bidding for the older model in ebay and i won it. However, when I received the clock 2 weeks later, I realised the dial was printed on, the clock itself is very heavy and solid metal though. Thinking it's imitation AP clock, I was very angry and feel cheated, throw the clock in my storeroom then. Now, maybe I should display it in my living room. Hope it still works.....

After all, is this the real AP dealer clock as what the seller claimed to be? I don't believe him, however, didn't pursue further. Just blamed my luck! Can any expert help to confirm is this the real older AP dealer clock? Thank you in advance!!

Hey Sam:

I think yours is real and it's the older model as described in the article.
I happen to have a blue one at home myself.

Thanks Mitchie!
I'm really happy to hear that! Will put up in my living room soon. I felt so cheated at that time and dare not tell my wife about it.

Yours looks the same as mine!

I don't think so.
These "Jürgen Bölsche" (I have tried to google the company and was not lucky to find that company) movements are also in various faked wall clocks like Rolex Patek, IWC, Omega.

The old generation of APs is fitted with that movement and is original.

I still fail to find any information regarding that particular company - so I am assuming that it's bogus.
Do you have an address or anything?

Sam that clock is original and the previous generation of the Royal Oak clocks. Read my post and you will see for yourself. The same is still at some Delta Sky Lounges. Check the post for the pics on the old model: http://www.watchcollectinglifestyle....-coveted-clock
