At my school we have an app called Yeti where you can share images. Kids were posting their rolexes (2 subs and a sticks DJ) and this guy comes up with this. Is it a real AP? Is it like $20k if it's real?

hussaint · 31 March 2015, 11:07 AM

Way more then 20k

Time Collector · 31 March 2015, 11:39 AM

They go for $56,900 at the AD.

AP wins over rolex in this case

mspeed76 · 31 March 2015, 12:59 PM

looks legit to me

lapince · 31 March 2015, 01:21 PM

Wow, when I was at school there wasn't that kind of watches around, a few subs or Cartier sure, but nothing close to this, times change...

grnman · 31 March 2015, 01:51 PM

Wow yes from my experience that is looking like a Gen Lebron.

I went to school with sons of a few billionaires and the best we got was Tag's and probably my Tudor in high school. But then 21th's started to come around and because everyone already had Porches for there 18ths, the Vacheron royal eagles started to come out.

codecow · 31 March 2015, 01:55 PM

This kid should be taught that chain bets are not allowed, aside from that good to go! ;)

997.2 · 31 March 2015, 02:11 PM

Dang. Well, he is either the guy who rolls around in the phantom, or the maserati. Insane.

grnman · 31 March 2015, 03:38 PM

Or the Hyundi I30........

it sounds like im a muppet but my watches are worth more than my cars. Reason being they loose less money in general than cars and there is less taxes applied. in buying and selling.

tcheeco · 31 March 2015, 05:48 PM

The watch posted above doesn't look legit to me... The LBJ is my dream watch, so all details are important for me. I'm not 'ready' yet to wear a gold watch

Gen is below, check the DW position & the date mag effect

grnman · 31 March 2015, 06:04 PM

I see what you mean by the DW.
I have a rep FC but don't want to talk about it too much on here, but from my experience;

bezel screws on Reps need to be lowered a tine tiny bit (varies each screw though)
the crown ceramic width is a little different,
the case back plate is too thick on Reps
obviously DW position and magnification.
the tapiserie dial squares have an ever so slight difference on the sidewall gradient

And then the basics of the movement through the case back
Gold weight.

the magnification doesn't look too bad here but the "1" looks different font to the 1 on mine today displaying 31. but I cant remember what the teens 1 font looks like.

hope that helps.

SC11 · 31 March 2015, 06:51 PM

Date window is def off between the two pics posted, I'm not really up on AP so don't know the obvious tells but I thought the date window being off was an easy spot for fakes?!

grnman · 31 March 2015, 07:03 PM

^^ yes the DW alignment is a dead give away. I think the fakes run off a 7750 based movement which has the DW further to the outside.
also they are not designed to have the sub seconds dial at 1'2 O'clock so break down a lot.

Also the anti reflective crystal but most of these are all modification that can be carried out on the fakes but the "fake guru's"

osamu · 31 March 2015, 07:30 PM

yea I agree doens't look right,

I think it's the wide base of the hour hand and the date that looks off.

grnman · 31 March 2015, 08:35 PM

I can post a photo of Gen vs Rep but I don't want to get reprimanded.

internetbuyer · 31 March 2015, 10:47 PM

the wide base hour hand look suspicious

What type of school is this? Grade level?

mspeed76 · 1 April 2015, 10:34 AM

upon closer inspection it does look like its made in china

Kadhytia · 1 April 2015, 11:10 PM

Not the real thing

mfer · 1 April 2015, 11:28 PM

I'm not an expert at all, but the "Swiss Made" is in two different places on these two watch pics.

School? What is happening to the world?

Shake of my head.

AK797 · 2 April 2015, 10:16 PM

In America they often say school for Uni, and it looks like this is a Uni.

I don't know for sure but this is probably a fake, plus if more than a few guys here think it is dodgy it almost certainly is as we have seen in the past.

I went to a good school my swatch and Seiko duo tome were top shelf..... no Rolex in my day
