Early Royal Oak Jumbo Dial--Does it Look Correct?
Hi. I've been very interested in a vintage Royal Oak Jumbo, and this one seems attractive. However, I've never seen this dial on an early Jumbo. No AP badge. And a peculiar comma between Audemars and Piquet. I have seen this on early dress watches, but never on the Jumbo. And--it's white! Does this look right or wrong to anyone? I know the screw orientation is off on the bezel, and it may have other issues, but I thought I'd start with the dial.
Any feedback is much appreciated. Best, Ken in NYC

Nope--stay away!
The misaligned bezel screws alone (a clear indicator that someone with no knowledge of Royal Oak watches was messing with it) would make me steer clear of this one, let alone the eccentricities of the dial---which really don't coordinate with anything I'v...
Just looks like its been refurbd by a non AP jeweler..
I was looking through the gallery of AP images and saw your post (i missed it when you originally posted it). This just looks like it's been through the hands of a non-AP associated watchmaker. The dial has been refinished, and the brushed finish on the c...
