Sorry if I ask, but looking at the screws on the bezel, date font, hands and logo on the dial, it looks honestly fake to me.

Sorry again

Well now he knows this isn't his first AP and please tell me you didn't pay the full price for this

The fake would have been easily spotted by looking at the movement.

Congrats!

jjnd08 · 5 October 2015, 05:27 AM

Let us know when you are able to get a real one.

I'm surprised you weren't able to tell this was a fake one quicker, there is a lot wrong with it.

Not sure I accept the premise (that he did not know). Whole thing smells bad.

Agreed, but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt...for now.

Agree with others comments. I'm not experienced in APs (posted the pic of my first, 15400 silver dial) However, you would think one would look at the movement, engraving, warranty, and any other pertinent info to try to minimize the risk of acquiring a fake.

Lordofrolex · 5 October 2015, 06:59 AM

Guy posted a fake AP. wow.

@rolex_enforcer

AK797 · 5 October 2015, 07:13 AM

Yup that's a fake, tapisserie squares are all wrong.

Here is my list of what I noticed:

In that lighting, even-though you can't see the AP's tapisserie dial effect, the size of squares are too large
Screws do not fit and are not flushed prefectly
the imprint of Audemars and automatic on dial are off
alighnment of AP on top of dial is off
end ends of the hour marks shape is off
gap between date and 3PM marker is larger

My first clue was the HORRIBLE font used in the date window.

I am a rookie when it comes to AP, but the font is what jumped at me... I didn't want to say anything and jump into conclusions as I could have been wrong, but...

TheMethod · 5 October 2015, 03:27 PM

The first picture screamed fake to me... the tapisserie dial, the fonts used and the bezel screws.

No update yet Michael??? I smell something a bit fishy too.

Foxman2k · 6 October 2015, 10:48 PM

Yeah anything new? Did you contact the seller? Pics of the movement? What's going on here?

Gentlemen , Sorry for the late response. The whole issue has been resolved and refund has been issued. The seller is a reputable guy who like me, has limited AP knowledge and was burned on this piece. Like they say if its too good to be true it probably is... For those of you questioning my credibility look back on previous posts and youll see I have a good reputation on here and have always bought/sold genuine. Im a watch collector with a true respect and passion for this hobby of ours.

I look forward to updating you all on my 1st Real AP in the coming days.. Still debating on rubberclad chrono or Classic Diver

Why not get a genuine version of the piece you thought you already bought?

Rubberclad goes more with my daily style and rugged use. The 15400 was more so because of a good deal. .... Stupid move on my part I know

Makes sense. Keep us posted.

Glad you got your money back.

Draxler · 7 October 2015, 04:05 AM

AK797 · 7 October 2015, 05:10 AM

Older Diver and RC are well faked with no open caseback so be careful.

steveclocks · 7 October 2015, 05:19 AM

sorry to hear about your misfortune, hope the seller will give your money back
