AP ROO Diver on eBay

[JPCain86]

I have been looking at one of these for a while now. Saw this one on eBay;

I won't be bidding on it. It might just be the poor pictures but something doesn't see right about it. What's people's thoughts?

[langdalematt]

Not sure that is right. You get a couple of books with it and it just does not look right to me.

Those screws don't look great...

[JPCain86]

I couldn't really see the tappisserie on the dial but might just be the angle.

Fake, simply who the heck would sell one on eBay starting at £1?
Oh and th dial looks off to me

[endo]

Fake,
The Cyclops is square on these and not round. The pictures are pretty bad so hard to make out the dial detais, but even the best fakes of these have tells, since its hard to replicate the tapisserie dials.

The paperwork is all junk too, by the time the diver came out, AP had moved to books (sadly these are faked, and all over ebay as "aftermarket")


Oh,.... Most importantly The 15703 Diver, was announced at SIHH in 2010, so 2009 paperwork?


Compared to mine the differences are obvious.

I've done it a few times.

[JPCain86]

It does make you wonder whether he was sold a fake or not, especially with the recent Panerai thread.

A bit of a drive from Rotherham to Exeter, but if in doubt - leave well alone.

I won't be buying this one. Just found it interesting with the back story. Seem to remember someone on here spotting a fake on prestige pawnbrokers before.

Is that the organisation that feature in Posh Pawn on Channel 4 ?

I'm not judging the watch one way or the other but as the guy has a reserve on it the £1 starting price isn't an issue.

[Jayareg]

It's just gone for £7350.

[Enda]

Looks like he has made money on it. The invoice starts with a 6.

I hope I’m not the only one reporting this, to prevent the seller being done over – especially if meeting in person rather than using Paypal for protection.

I wonder how long the attack from the screwdriver lasted?

I was just reading a review of the latest AP in watchesbysjx, and I noticed that the bolts don't always leave the factory immaculately positioned....

That's a very noble thing to do, have a virtual beer on me for doing that 👏

The incises are not properly aligned either.

Sod the screws, did you not see the re-lume job, especially the ’40'?
