Hey guys,

Maybe some of you know the answer to my question. I always thought that the AP clasps did not come with holes in them. Though, here and there I see clasps with them and without them. Is there any explanation? Until when, from when did AP uses holes in their clasp for the springbar?

Some have it, some don't, I don't see a consistency but imo most don't have holes.

Anyone knows about this?

With hole:

No hole:

I have both G & H series offshores and there aren't any holes in mine.

Jorssen · 19 November 2013, 08:53 AM

That's what I'd like to get to know, which ones have holes and which ones don't. The first one pictured is a G-series.

It's actually very simple: Holes = fake clasp!!
It's as easy as that...

Is this true? The first picture is from a reputable seller and a known guy on here and various watch forums...

I also have my doubts about it being a fake as I've seen it on other ROO's as well.

kilyung · 21 November 2013, 01:10 AM

I'm not 100% sure (as I've never owned any AP strap deployant clasps other than the Bee) but I don't ever recall seeing holes in them at the AD.

AK797 · 21 November 2013, 01:12 AM

Hey Stijn, I am very weary of any holes, a common fake tell, unless someone here does know exactly which series/years had some.

X 2

Also the edges are more rounded on Gen.

Ok. Bad news Stijn. I just checked my millenary steel and jules audemars chrono gold. Both with the Ap clasp and NO holes in any.

exiger77 · 23 November 2013, 11:47 PM

H series ROO, no holes..

rolexlover · 24 November 2013, 04:26 AM

For sure a FAKE Clasp

Porsche-ah · 24 November 2013, 05:07 AM

Hole = Fake

It's as simple as that.

Colin W · 25 November 2013, 07:20 PM

F series no holes, not seen a clasp with holes that I can recall.

Might be an idea to tell us who seeing as it is fake - to stop people from being stung.

gummy · 25 November 2013, 09:48 PM

None of mine have had holes...

Shawnnyang · 25 November 2013, 11:27 PM

reputable sellers get duped as well on parts such as clasps and buckles (who most don't pay much attention to).

The most convincing lies are those with half truths.

Amme · 29 November 2013, 11:41 PM

I have seen fake buckles without holes as well so don't just trust the ones you see without holes. Look for the stamp or whatever its called under the screw that holds the bar that goes in to the strap

What a terrible explanation but I think you understood :)
