Fake Offshore?

Looking to see if a friend of a friends offshore is fake. He trying to peddle it and something just feels off with this.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Can't tell from just one picture. If you can get a shot from the side with the pushers, that will help tell. If it's a 7750 inside, the pushers and the main stem/crown will all be evenly aligned and you will know its a replica......a real AP's two pushers are offset from the main stem/crown.

So where would this "friend" of a "friend" have gotten a +20K watch in the first place?

How much are they asking? Box and papers? More photos wont help, I think we know the answer.

Thanks Guys.....

I certainly would want to see box/papers...but haven't gotten them yet. He wants $15k....

This is the type of young guy that posts pics with his various Hublots and AP Offshores...I've never been a huge fan of the Offshores since I don't play in the NBA but would love a Royal Oak someday.

In my limited research I can't find a gold Offshore with this dial combo....I've seen a few with a black dial and white sub dials...

He just didn't think sending his info to an aspiring WIS would lead me to calling him out on his fake collection. Which I would love doing....

Rubbish indeed!

As if you need any more confirmation, total fake. Date wheel too small and too far to the right.
