How to tell a real and fake AP by one look..
« on: November 16, 2009, 08:20:55 AM »
Tot i'll share this with you guys...maybe some of you already know this...

refer to pic below to see:

1. The distance between the middle subdial and the 2 subdials at 12 and 6 o'clock are not of equal distance...it's further from 6 o'clock and nearer to 12 o'clock

2. The second hands subdial is at 12 o'clock position because of the modular movement used...apparently, it's very expensive for fakes to produce movements this way...typically, most chronographs with ETA movements will have their second hands subdial at 9 o'clock position.

of course, it's always better to verify it at AP service centre if you're buying a pre-owned AP ROO
