So another “reputable” UK seller has been called out for fake watches. I’m not sure if anyone on here have bought from them but I’d be asking for my money back.

Please do not tell me the AP is off the table now! I was concerned about the authenticity because AP have never seemed to get the screw heads to form a pattern and the picture you supplied has them going in a circle.

I know 99% of you won’t like this but I’m in love with this AP. Factory diamond and limited edition run. Being in my late 20’s I’ve had my eye on this watch for a while now. I’m trying to come to an agreement with the seller on a better price. If all goes well I’m looking to pull the trigger soon.

AP don't have a problem with the screw heads - Hublot do though.

Terrible watch either way.

AP screw heads should always look like that. That watch in my opinion is a bit of a shocker however.

This watch wasn’t from them. I’ve never bought a watch that isn’t from an official dealer before.

Website is dodgy as f@@k. I wouldn’t buy a watch from them irrespective of the Instagram story.

They are not screw heads clearly they wouldn't screw into the face, they are bolt heads that the screws come up into from inside the watch.

As above. AP are screwed in from the caseback. Hublot just a bit more hit and miss.
AP probably spend more time making the clasp on the Royal Oak than Hublot do on tje entire watch.

Every time I try to view a photo of one of the watches on sale it takes me to some click through amazon advertising website. Not exactly reassuring.
