Help authenticate an H serial Royal Oak?

Hey all,

Found this Royal Oak - no box or papers, while I am certainly an amateur when it comes to determining a real from a fake AP, I think this is a some what decent replica.

What do you think?

The AP logo looks slanted to me.

AP logo is definitely slanted.. that’s some poor QC even for a replica..

Also, date font is wrong and that blue dial is way off

Nothing decent about it at all.

No such thing as a decent replica. Come on man.

AP is slanted, movement is a joke. That is the Chinese special.

Lol can tell just by the balance it’s fake. Very easy. And honestly a sloppy fake, don’t like the word “replica” fake is fake.

I love you guys - thanks for always keeping it real. I do not have a discerning eye for AP, but I do often search around and if I can spot a fake I like to flag them as such. With this the one thing that really threw me for a loop was the off center AP, but the dial seemed a little off, but not enough to convince me.

You need to always look at movements. There are complete forums strictly to fake watches and modifying them with Genuine parts such as dials, hands, date wheel, auto wind modules, bezels, etc... the key thing with that watch for me is always the movement. The biggest indicator of that movement is the dual regulation on the balance wheel wheel, that’s mostly on on Asian 2836/ 2824 and Asian 7750 clone movements.
