So, imagine that poor fella (whoever he is who won the auction) parts with US$12,0000 of his hard earned money thinking he got a good deal. And then a few months or years down the road realizes that he had bought a bad, poorly made fake when he brings it to AP for servicing, or when he gathers more knowledge about AP.....

Thanks! that's a GEN AP hornback strap on the Volcano....

Like to share with you all my new purchase, an AP Silver Themes, also known as Panda....... A group shot together with the rest of my collection............. Side by side with one of my all time favourite, the Volcano.......

Like to share with you all my dedicated AP spares and parts box and all the bits and pieces that I had collected over the years..........

Ordered the AP Diver at the end of last week from my favourite dealer Connie (aka Miss King). The transaction was as usual silky smooth and easy, and it landed on my desk today. Just 4 business days from order to arrival, excellent! I opted for the Swiss SW200 movement http://www.kingshowbox.com/goods-6345.html The watch feels and wears great. The inner bezel, crown and everything works as it should, the hands sweeps smooth and nice. Overall look and feels good, love the nicely brushed stainless steel look on the watch. I am very happy with the watch and there's nothing I would complaint about. Here are some photos, and a few shots together with the rest of my AP ROOs...

Saw these crazy collection in a second hand shop in Hong Kong and what caught my eye was how close the date window cyclop was to the tachy ring in this gold rubberclad.......it is almost as close as (well, nearly) what we have with our reps! And here's a close up......

I ordered one with the Swiss movement, and Ms King (Connie) had just sent over the QC photos which looks fabulous! Will post some photos when I it arrives. I had been told that Connie had encountered issues with her usual "kingwatch999" email address, so for those of you who had ordered from her or had emailed her but got your emails bounced back or didn't get any reply, you can get her at kingsales999@gmail.com

I happen to stumble upon this video. Take a look at the spacing between the tachy and the date window, seems like they managed to do it on this sample? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D9FsxjT1o8&sns=em

Nice collection!

You may want to give Connie (Ms King) a try, I bought all my reps from her including four Secs@12 AP ROO. Her email: kingwatch999@hotmail.com Website: http://www.kingshowbox.com

Around US$550......

The Volcano is from Ms King (Connie), the hornback strap is a GEN purchased from an AP boutique directly. The links are rep.

Thought I share with you all my new AP ROO White Rubberclad that I just bought from my favourite dealer Connie (Miss King). This is my 4th AP ROO Secs@12 from her, and as with all my past experiences, her service is first class, with prompt almost instanteous replies to my emails. Here are some shots, photographed here together with the rest of the AP ROO family........ And some photos of my number One AP ROO, the Volcano, which I bought 2 years ago. This is one amazing watch.......

Looks good........It is a watch with a strong presence, enjoy it! I got mine 1.5 years ago and it has the metallic tachy. Which dealer is this one from?

I visited a friend a few days ago, he had just started collecting REPs, and was proudly showing off to me his new AP ROO White Themes. I was horrified by what I saw and I wasn't even looking it through a loupe! Here are some photos......

No problems at all with my AP ROO - secs@12 Orchard Road and Volcano, or the secs@9 black themes. Love them all......go buy one!

Look at his auction description......one moment it says it has a rubber bezel, next moment he says it has a stainless steel bezel. He is from Singapore and he ships via USPS...... He just simply did a copy and paste from others auction. This is one messed up auction, and people buying a US$20K never bother to read the details/

Here's a rather interesting auction for an AP ROO Volcano REP floating on eBay, obviously this guy doesn't know what he is talking about as he had this in his description; "One of the hottest pieces released by AP and sure to appreciate in value. Has rose-gold numerals, beautiful checkered dial and rubberclad bezel. Grab it while you can!" What makes it even more interesting is that the seller post his Questions and Answers as well, on the bottom of the auction, and one of them is as follows; Q: DO you actually think you will get away with selling you fake watch? It is a dead giveaway.. Oh me guess turn the watch over.. The number you covered up is 8520... Are you surprised that i know that? 3 year warranty? From who? puretimewatch.com A: why you are so r*de?i'm not surprised with that,you already know puretimewatch.com just sell copied from the genuine and the most replica watches shop.so no wonder they are copy the serial number.you can compare its fake or not,just simple ask you to looking for strap it's totally different..my watch is not like puretimewatch.com.my father brought that watch at AP boutique Orchard Road Liat Towers Singapore,you can go there for looking AP quality .thank you here's the auction.......and you guys know what to do next. Report! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=130448378691

The QC on all the bezel screws are really bad, esp the one at two o'clock, doubt they could be fixed as it is a manufacturing gap and fit issue rather than a installation issue.

I would be keen to buy two cases if this could be done!

Very well done, very nice!! Good job!

OK, the scammer got stitched by the winning bidder on this one. Won the bid and left a negative feedback immediately. Ha ha ha, what a classic! nice one!

Congratulations on your wedding and that wonderful new toy on your wrist!!!
