Icon9 $28.7 million market value of fake AP and other luxury watches found in Mexico

Just reading the AP tweets and got this upset news. Hope no one paid for $28k before for a fake AP

I love how the news needs to make it a bigger deal than it is…$28 MILLION DOLLARS worth…if they were real…these probably sell for what…$100 USD a pop on a good day? $100K lot.

I’ve seen a few fakes APs before, and holy crap do they look fake.

These were indeed poor quality fakes. Must be hard to use the chrono function without pushers!
