The surprising thing is that this seller has over 24000 and 99.8% good feedback. This watch is listed for over 26.000Euros. Is there any way this could be an authentic watch at all?

txcollector Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Gen or a very well built franken. Most likely gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Gen or a very well built franken. Most likely gen I am new to this, and my question is one of curiosity, not challenge: How could you tell please? To me, I think the pushers look too flat at the top, and the hands seem to be rep ones. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txcollector Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I am new to this, and my question is one of curiosity, not challenge: How could you tell please? To me, I think the pushers look too flat at the top, and the hands seem to be rep ones. Thank you. Where do I start? 1) Crown in the right misaligned position. With the AP ROO the chrono module sits on top of the movement hence the chrono pushers and the crown should not align. Only gens and well built franken achieve that. 2) Due to (1) the DW is sunken 3) The DW font 4) DW distance from the tachy ring 5) Case thickness 6) Case back thickness 7) Case back engraving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 .... and to add one cosmetic thing....the gen AP ROO uses a special kind of kautschuck/rubber ... that material will get shiny, like patina with the time wearing it....the reps do not achieve these results (looking close to the bezel edges and the chrono pushers you´ll see this shine).

HauteHippie Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Absolutely gen. Or best franken to date. (not) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Thank you all.. I am looking to buy a gen RG rubberclad and I would keep all your advice in mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Would you consider the RG bezel as well? The RG is super sharp on the cognac hornback strap. See if you can find one to check out in the flesh first. But the rubberclad, of course, is a matter personal taste and you have to get what YOU like!

Sounds good.. and yes I am willing to consider the RG finish in any form, as long as it appears aesthetically pleasing in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 That is a gen. What makes you think it´s a rep? The pushers look too flat. Besides that, my inexperience, and lack of in depth knowledge? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
