You obviously have horological background and obviously are a newcomer on the forum(based on your posts..).

Mine was just a public exchange of opinion with my friend Pink Panther on the fact that the this thread is very peculiar.

If you lurked enough you might have seen in the past that the non written rule on PuristsPro about fakes was zero tolerance,I can recall threads on Lange and Patek and Audemars Piguet fora with fakes being locked or deleted.

I just find very peculiar(not right or wrong mind you )that someone found the time to star a debate(legitimately) lead by new members that asssumed the form of a public grilling of a member who might,or might not ,have shown his fake in good faith....who knows....

I can add that a word of wisdom by a senior member or mod would have been more...lets say.....elegant and tasteful than the mentioned action.

Far from starting a debate here.....

Anyway it would be nice to benefit from your knowledge all the time not only in circumstances like this.

Regards

Mo

Night Out with the Don Ramon

 
By: J.W.B : January 14th, 2011-14:09
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

 
By: J.W.B : January 15th, 2011-04:45
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!

Who are you trying to fool? This is a made in China 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?

 
By: stijn_b : January 15th, 2011-05:55
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

He just sent me another pic if this helps you make up ur mind....

Convince us please

 
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....

 
By: Armchannel : January 15th, 2011-07:15
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??

 
By: keomix : January 16th, 2011-10:11
Your friend has your Hublot? Really Now? Love that White AP Logo! So Gen like!

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... 

I fully....

 
By: MiniCooper : January 17th, 2011-01:48
agree with you.... that was my initial thought, which i tried to say using the fewest possible words.... Cheers

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...
