Audemars Piguet

I agree and disagree...

 

on the fact of the new members, I'm quite a new member as well, though I know my horological background. I've been a lurker for a long time, though now I have a few posts. Don't know about the other new members that participated in this thread, I just don't think they can be judged based upon the fact they are new.

I agree on the fact this kind of threads should be closed, the faster, the better...

And it is definately a fake, please view my comparison.

Night Out with the Don Ramon

A night out with the Don Ramon, imo i would of preferred it with a black strap..... Not sure it would work but maybe worth trying out. Also i dont think it goes with my Shamballa jewels black diamond bracelet ... Don Ramon Don Ramon This message has been ...  

Love the Dom Ramon...

I agree a black hornback strap could make a different look totally. I love that watch's dial and metal combination. And think the brown really make the watch a little more casual with the rest of the colors... Wear it well! Zack

lovely combo...

... original, and its working. Color wise, the idea, and the don is a nice nice watch. no worries about scratches on the watch in case of contact?

Other way round

The bracelet is solid onyx so i find that the watch scratches the bracelet more than the other way round, im ok with a few light scratches now and again. It comes with wearing the watch ........

Nice REPLICA!

No

This watch is a good friend of mines and we swapped watches for the night ( he got my Hublot )... On inspection of the watch and with an unbiased view, i am 99 percent sure this is not a replica i will get some more pictures not taken with my blackberry .... 

100% fake

It's easy to spot a fake for APROOs since fake ones have to use a modified 7750 movement. If 7750s are used the date window is off to the right close to the bezel compared to the real ones lining up pretty much with 2 and 4. FAKE

sure this is gen?

Hmm, your datewheel looks off and your strap, is it a hornback, also, aren't the DR dials more brownish? I agree that this looks like a replica... Sure this is gen? fakes don't belong here...

Another pic

By: Armchannel : January 16th, 2011-16:57
Where are the rest of the pics your friend had sent you? Show us please. Thanks

I'm dead sure....

That this is a replica, that hornback strap looks awful....

a rep ?

 
By: zepplin.skywalker : January 15th, 2011-12:14
Somthing is giving it away... The date magnification and the lack of sharpness on the dial... Just don't add up to be the real deal... I maybe wrong...

I have just compared it to a real one...

 
By: stijn_b : January 15th, 2011-12:40
I'm normally not a poster, more of a reader but I just had to do this. Ok so what I have noticed, look at the AP logo of this fake one and look at the real one, the real one has a golden AP logo on the dial , it looks like the lettering on the tachymeter ...  

Again, rule #2

 
By: Z3us : January 15th, 2011-19:48
Rule #1 Dont take your reps to the AD Rule #2 Dont post your reps in a gen forum

Really dude??

I think its funny how a lot of new users partecipate at this discussion.....unless they are regulars in disguise. I take the point that the watch could well be a fake ,I just find peculiar that the conversation was starred....there is no horological inter...
