His watch is not a fake... And I didn't accuse you of talking BS, I accused you of being a DB.

Smh just look.




It doesn't take a pro to make the difference out.

I have seen a few of his other APs which are indeed real but this black themes just isn't. Maybe it was swapped during a hand around, or anything like that. I never accused anyone of knowingly wearing a fake. ;)

Ken, he's right, that date window position does not look good. Where did you get it?

I think it's just the angle of the picture.

Hi Neil, my Black Themes came from an AP AD in California. Perhaps it is the angle of my photo that makes the date window look "off"? Here's a closer shot of the date window - does it still look not right?

The Black Themes is NOT real, sorry! Truly!
Without going into too many details, there are numerous "tells." How about the Date FONT?
alcrts is very right here, sorry to say!

It looks totally legit to me, what are the so called tells? By the way AP have components made in batches so there are inconsistencies in fonts this is particularly relevant to the case backs and the way 'Offshore' is written, sometimes the 'O' looks like an 'Oakley' font other times not. Sometimes the 'S' looks like a 'Superman' S other times it looks like a trainee engraved it. All these examples are on genuine watches.

I know about Genuine batch variation examples. I'm also well aware of the tells - but I'm not going to say them all.
Simply put:
He should take it to an AP store to have it inspected ;)
Hope he didnt buy it too long ago!!
Again, @alcrts is exactly right!

Hey mate, that looks better. However that's not the same watch as the one I reposted earlier.

The one I reposted is 100% fake. The one you just posted is real.
