If you are into for looks, get the new series JF ones with the Miyota decorated movements that are really nice! If you are looking for reliability on movement, go with the Swiss 2824 movement ones from the BP Factory! Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions! If I am more focused on looks, what am I compromising on the movement side of things? Also, if you could link me to a TD selling these exact watches I'd appreciate it

Look at the pictures of the movement, the inner workings/mechanism of the watch, compare it with the genuine. Did you see the link and photo I shared? That is what you want and that is what is closest. We are moving away from plain/simple undecorated movements - getting closer to genuine. You sound like you have a lot more research to do - or you could opt to buy the watch I showed you and enjoy it immensely. Either way. Good luck.

You want reviews do some more reading and searching on here. 

Thank you for all your help! Really appreciate it. If anyone feels they can one up his offer, feel free to try

Yes they are a TD - and if you look at both you posted and compare to mine you will see yours lack movement decoration, it's an easy tell. They are also too fat. The genuine is 9.8mm and the one from PureTime gets you closer to that at 10.5mm - Also don't over pay for something anyone claims is Swiss ETA, it won't be. 

Thanks for the quick response! A couple things though; firstly, what do you mean by movement decoration? Also, where can I find some reviews on PureTime?

Why do you feel this one is better than the two I posted? Also, is puretime01 a TD?

Hey RWG, 

I'm looking to buy a white face 15400 Audemars Pigeut Royal Oak any day now. So far, I've come across a few sellers who appear to be TD's here. Here are the two options I'm looking at:

http://www.intime.co/audemars-piguet/1229-jumbo-15400-swiss-eta-2824-white-41mm-by-bp-maker.html

Which option looks best to you guys (regardless of price difference)? If you have a better suggestion, please let me know! Thanks in advance:)
