I have met you and understand this is an honest mistake if anything.  I appreciate your contributions on the forum, and feel free to add the additional information you might receive about the piece in question.


I will tell you an honest story.  2 years ago, while at an AP event, I met a fellow collector who was actually wearing a fake AP watch.  This individual owns numerous APs, yet the fake was so well executed he did not know.  It took some convincing for him to believe it, and I felt bad to do it, but in the end he was happy to know of the problem.

You were probably not expecting a friend to show you a fake AP watch, and maybe it is a case where he does not even know himself.  Obviously, this possibility absolutely does happen.

The date window def looks different than the pic you posted, I still have no clue if this is fake or authentic. I apologize if it's indeed fake, the moderator can remove this thread. I'll ask my friend again about this.

No worries Ronnie.
