Long time member, first time poster...
I think the AP guys will need a better pic to be sure...
I don't know anything about APs and it's a poor pic, but it looks off to me. Also, it looks like the crown is gold in this pic?

Better photos and reset chrono would help, but going by what I can see, I would say its not authentic due to a few reasons, the size of the bezel screws, the shine on the rubber strap, and the shine on the pushers.

That is a fake AP. I assume the chrono function does not work? Or is it a quartz watch? Either way, it is not real.

Why is it that 99% of the time when people start these authenticity threads they put up very blurry photos...

Not authentic... The date wheel cyclops is too far over to the right. That's the easiest and first tell on any fake AP ROO Chrono.

For real this AP is not for Swiss. Highly, China Made. Hope, you didn't paid a high price for it.
