for the money, i would say to to another seller. they only have 1 feedback rating on a pair of sunglasses. also, so me, the watch looks a bit off. i can not place what it is, but you never know...may have even taken a picture and description from another user. in other words, for a little bit more $$ you dont have to worry about authenticity issues. go find a trusted seller!

One of the ugliest fake AP's i've seen.

Reported this POS.

rjmarti · 26 January 2012, 07:44 AM

I cannot vouch for the AP, but as 43builder said, the seller has only ONE transaction/feedback before. This alone would make me pause before I sent them 10,000.00 Im my opinion the likely hood is high that you wont get anything or will get a fake.

Fake all the way!! 9k for a POS!

mwelze · 26 January 2012, 09:52 AM

thanks to all. Low feedback doesn't necessarily mean the seller is dishonest, it only means that they don't sell much or often on ebay. I know high feedback sellers who are grossly dishonest but simply very good at dodging bullets.

If it's fake, I would like to know why (specifically) so I know what to look for next time.

Now that is funniest one I have seen yet!

brilliant with no content or relevant info. no wonder you have 16000 posts.

GlobalGooch69 · 26 January 2012, 12:21 PM

Pay attention to the screws on the caseback... they are uneven also one of them is like a pop up from the case... also you cant see there the quality of manufacturing of AP.

Stay away of private listings and also 1 feedback seller.

mwelze · 26 January 2012, 12:59 PM

CMLPXLV: thanks for the caseback information, I tried to compare with other AP models but must have missed the obvious. I see the uneven screws, now that you mention it. Much appreciated.

You were told to 'watch it" due to your ill advised response towards a long standing member and moderator. You would have been well served to listen to both Greg and Thomas.

Instead you decided to come back with another stupid remark.

Therefore, I'll give you a break from TRF...permanently.
