I don't have much knowledge of AP, as they don't interest me much, but I'd bet lunch money that that's one of those watches that we don't discuss.

I think you're right, though I'm far from an expert, the caseback looks a little suspect

From a Lady Royal Oak:


From the Men's Royal Oak Quartz:


But I'm assuming I'm incorrect. I would always err on the side of caution...

When one considers that even my Project Manager could tell that those screws won't turn.

Someone having a bad day used an incompatible (small) sized screw driver on those screws.

The case back looks strange on it, either way that watch is something I wouldn't buy.

I wouldn´t buy it either, i was going thru an ebay store and thought "who´s so silly/clumsy to do something like that"
I think the watch is real. Found another by another seller on ebay that looks pretty much the same. Specially the case-back. The one for ladies has less numbers than the ones for men. Or both are fake haha.

I've never understood why someone would come on an AP forum and come out with something like this.

Why are you here?

I'm here because this is a sub-forum of The Rolex Forum and I visit here and other places for the reason I'm on the board: because I might learn something.

To me that watch looks as phony as a $3 bill, so that's why I said what I said, admitting that my knowledge is limited.

If you disapprove of my presences on this forum, that's just tough.

I'm sure people would be more inclined to educate you if you expressed an interest as opposed to saying you don't have one.

I don't like Breitlings...I don't actively go on the Breitling sub forum and tell people I have no interest in them.

What's the point?

Assuming it is real (I am not saying it is) ... the repair bill with AP would be quite high! It's a mess! And God knows what's going on inside!

I said they don't interest me much.

There was a time when Rolex didn't interest me much. There was a time when one Casio Data Bank was the only watch I needed.

Things and people change and I have an open mind on anything having to do with time.

I thought the same specially after reading the pre owned ap in the forum couple weeks ago, specially about quartz RO. I'm sure inside is a complete mess too.
