Legit AP Vampire 🧛🏼*♂️?

I’m about to pull the trigger on this AP vampire. Does anybody see anything suspicious? The only thing that was odd was the stamped location. There was no exact address of the jeweler only “Eve, Argentina”. Also, not sure about the accuracy of this info, but I’ve seen some watches with the space between the first letter and the following numbers on the serial number. For instance, I 56789 as opposed to I56789. This one does not have the space. Anyhow, if not relevant do let me know!

The stamp looks too simple, but Eve is official ad for AP...

Go to:

https://www.audemarspiguet.com/en/boutiques/

and choose Buenos Aires as city to find a retailer...

Looks like they are the ones to stamp the watch... more reason to believe it’s authentic

Looks fine to me.

Buy the seller, not the watch.

the movement looks OK from what i can see. Also purchase date and I serial number range is what you would expect. I have an I from 2015 and had a j from 2016

This one being I series stamped on 2016 is not a questionable clue?

Movement looks good at a cursory glance. Always the best way to tell as cases and dials are much easier to replicate

2016 would be some of each... late I series and early J. All i am saying is if you had a brand new watch with papers showing it sold today with an I serial number or earlier that would be a red flag unless it has been sitting on display for several years. If its a somewhat popular watch that wouldn't happen.

Doesnt prove anything, just a detail i always note, that adds to the complete picture.
