Regarding RO models, 36mm is a good size for me up to 39mm (my ROO Triple Date)

I'm really happy to own this one with its really appealing dial (the only RO with a drawing to my knowledge).
Best wishes

Really strange because the Arab indexes make me think to the 15190 or Nick Faldo limited edition. You should contact this website to know more about your timepiece: Best wishes Alkiro
Thank you for sharing this very rare reference with us....

Many of us have never seen this one before, so we need your help to solve the mystery. I need you to go to a good watch maker, let him open up the watch and take out the movement, under the movement, inside the backcase, there will be a serial number engr...

but without the 24-hour timezone indicator for the 2nd timezone. Different proportions and lume than I've ever seen. Could have been a LE for a local dealer. -Dean
Yes, I will have this one solved.

I got it from a very large group store here, so it would not be fake by any means. I asked many local watch shops here, but none of them had seen this one before. So it would be interesting to find out more about it...

Going fine so far thanks. Honestly no idea...

As you know, at that time there were 3 pieces, the blue, the charcoal and the silver/white. They always seemed to all be in stock before the 2012 decision to really limit it, but I don't the sales volumes. Everyone seems to want or have the blue. I guess ...

Its fun to unrival mystery
By: Watches4ever : July 11th, 2017-01:57
After reading all the posts, I have done some research since I reside in Hong Kong and I have the following findings. However it would be best to unscrew the case back to see the actual movement if its a genuine AP or something else. Just now I went up to...
Thanks for your reply and info, Ian.

I have just gone ahead and forwarded a request to my contact at AP to see if he can lend some clarifying information. If I receive anything back, I will post it here.
King Fook
By: @openworked : July 12th, 2017-02:47
But how did the watch end up in one of the King Fook stores!? As mentioned, this store chain exists all over Hong Kong.
I have no idea
By: Watches4ever : July 12th, 2017-03:13
But surely someone within the store has one or two pieces ready to sell to tourists. This kind of "dirty" selling used to happen along Kowloon Tsim Sha Tsui area few years back. As tourist return home to discover what they thought they bought turned out t...

By: dhirengopal2 : July 12th, 2017-05:20
Even if this is a fake sold through King Fook I am sure that Ray must have paid for it by credit card in that case the money goes to the company .... even in case he paid by cash I am sure Ray took an invoice so that's proof enough of taking legal action ...
Great detective work
By: Joepny : July 12th, 2017-07:03
but I am sorry for the owner of the watch. It is a shame that these things happen. I will be sure to avoid that retailer in the future.
I always buy from AP HK @ IFC
By: Watches4ever : July 12th, 2017-07:40
AD usually lure customer by offering 10% discount or give out straps. But they never have the limited edition pieces immediately after release. Buying from AP-HK also build up a good customer relationship, to me that's far more important than getting disc...
Good to know
By: Joepny : July 12th, 2017-07:47
It makes sense to build a relationship directly with the manufacturer if you are in it for the long-term. I really hope MichaelC or some PuristS with contacts to AP and Ray0808 tell AP the full story and then AP can take an action against the retailer, es...
No loss in trying
By: Watches4ever : July 12th, 2017-08:05
But seeing that it happened 13 years ago, unless Ray8080 can still produced the invoice and report case to authority. Then to track down the salesman might be harder to establish whether he was actually employed or part time etc. That's why I always tell ...
I understand
By: Joepny : July 12th, 2017-08:18
it is not really AP's fault that crooks make counterfeits of their products. It just makes me so infuriated to think about it and the funny thing is I didn't lose a penny myself. I hope that specific HK retailer suffers some great embarrassment. (and yes ...
I am with you my Friend
By: MichaelC : July 12th, 2017-08:39
For as much as we all are concerned with this topic, shouldn't we be able to believe we can walk into a reputable dealer and only handle authentic watches? Reselling is a massive business, but there are certainly companies that do it the right way and onl...
Thanks everyone for your help.
By: Ray8080 : July 12th, 2017-08:12
I am on a driving vacation and so did not come here the past two days. Regarding King Fook, it is a very big group, and it is hard to believe that it sells or sold fake watches. If so, then it is a very big issue. I will find it out when I am back in town...
