Looks like the Royal Oak Offshore Triple Date Calendar. Those screws facing the wrong way are driving me nuts.
EDIT: Reference # is 25807 |

Never seen that, the screws all over the place. That isn't right.

The watch and the finish of the case look correct. The watch has been taken apart by a novice. They didn't realize that the screws are oriented a specific way. The watch has also been polished by a non AP jeweler. Some of the edges appear to be "rounding".

Thanks pumpkin. That's what I needed. I'll take it back To my watch maker, who should know better because he used to work for ap, to have the screws fixed asap. I don't want to sell it unless it's right. Thanks

Doesn't make sense, if he really did work for AP, then I don't get how he could get something simple like lining up the screw heads. Looks overpolished too. |

The watch is very polished indeed... The crown looks shot.

I think it's worth sending this to AP for a full going over. They will get it like new again, but it will cost plenty as the over-polishing will require some new parts.

Yes...looks like he used the wrong screwdriver as well. Those heads are chewed up.
Good luck! |

Did he maybe mar up the screw heads that are suppose to face out even more? I can't imagine someone who knows AP and calling themselves a watchmaker doing this. Send it to AP or find another watchmaker IMHO.
