15707 Ceramic Diver Off Centered

[Rrothsch]

I just noticed my ceramic diver is off centered. I bought the watch in January 2018 and looking at pictures from when I bought it was perfect and not off centered. I must have done something like bumped it on something. I’m wondering if this can be fixed? I was going to email AP but was just curious if any other owners of this watch had this happen and any idea on cost to fix with the hope it could be fixed.

Use the crown at 10 o'clock to adjust the internal bezel.

I'd be more worried that the two batons at 12 o'clock arent the same size. Am I just seeing things due to parallax, or are the orange on black drivers like that?

Turn the knob

I really really hope OP knows that the extra knob turns the interior timing bezel and is not a helium escape or decorative pimple....

Either angle/quality of photo but def not how the markers should be at 12 . Cant quite make out the grained finishing on the case either .
I call this a fake

I’m really glad I posted, had no idea it was as simple fix. Thanks for everyone that answered my moronic question but at least it’s fixed

Off center...fake...simple fix...crazy thread!

Interesting. OP did not apparently own this watch in April 2018 yet purchased it in Jan 2018. Something off about this piece. Lets see the movement OP.

Curious to see the back too. The photos are so blurry.

looks like a fake watch, could OP let us see the back?

Forget asking for photos is all waste of all our time . I don’t care if fake or not .

Enjoy your weekend . The weather in London is great . I will be swimming with my real ap diver this evening !

I view Rolexforums frequently but rarely post. I was simply asking a basic question because I never wear the ceramic diver and noticed yesterday how it was off center. In addition to not knowing a ton about watches, I'm also not a good photographer or navigating technology. I might of asked a dumb question but I wasn't requesting opinions if my watch was authentic. Yet, since everyone seems to be questioning me, I'll explain what I did when I acquired this watch. In full disclosure, all of my other AP's have been bought from the boutique except for the ceramic Diver. I bought this watch from a trusted seller who is still active on Rolexforums. Before I bought the ceramic diver, I contacted AP to validate its authenticity and make sure it wasn't stolen. I tried to upload a PDF of the email exchange between me & AP Clearwater but it was too big so I took a screen shot on my phone. Lastly, I'm at my office and not wearing the diver today so can't take pictures of the back

My opinion right from the start was that OP knows how to fix the rotating bezel. What OP really wants to know is if his fake AP fools real enthusiasts into thinking it's real.

[Rrothsch]

I obviously didn't realize this was an easy fix and I appreciate the help. I rarely wear the ceramic Diver and just noticed it yesterday which is why I started a thread. I love Rolexforums but don't post often because I'm horrible with technology, photography, and have no idea how to navigate this website. I was just looking for a little help and certainly wasn't asking for an authenticity check. Yet, now that it seems people are questioning its authenticity, I'll explain how I acquired the ceramic diver. I bought this watch from a trusted seller on Rolexforums who still is active today in January 2018. All of my other AP's have been purchased from AP boutiques. Thus, before I bought the ceramic diver, I emailed AP Clearwater to make sure the ceramic diver was authentic and not reported stolen. Then, AP confirmed the watch was authentic and not in their stolen database. I tried to upload that email thread between me and AP Clearwater but for whatever reason my email reply & the attachment are not showing up in this thread. I obviously still don't have any idea how to reply with attaching pictures and based on the responses I probably won't be posting much in the future. I know how to start a thread and upload a picture but how do I reply in a thread and upload a picture?

Boom !

Water is too cold here to swim but lovely afternoon boat trip just now out to sea.

[rambo99]

cant understand how OP could manage to keep posting low clarity pictures. does OP own several APs but got a 50 dollars cellphone?

[V25V]

Photos are bad but looks like your dive crown just got turned one click.

[Doctock]

I don't post much either.
But, leave the OP alone!

Not everyone is an expert at:
- using cell phones, taking photos, knowing how or where to upload
- knowing everything about their watches

The OP just needed some help with his watch.
He came to this sub-Forum to ask a question.
Yeah, to most folk who live and breathe "watch" this was a "no brainer".
Not to everyone.
I helped someone on a different Forum who didnt know he should wind his watches before wearing.
He was frustrated that his older Bumblebee took longer to get to the correct time vs his newer Ti44.
Took nothing out of me to just suggest that he wind them first.

I know there are a lot of fakes, frauds, & keyboard warriors out there. Worse still are tricksters who'd love to "trip up" the Forum.
That doesn't mean you need to treat everyone who asks a question in a guilty before proven otherwise manner.

@Rrothsch - I hope your issue has been resolved. Eagle eyes @V25V notes most likely it has.

I have a few watches and a £20 phone with no camera and i dont even post photos much at all just because you need to use another app imgur its just a hassle

thats why I can't understand it, people use a 50 dollars phone seldom take photos, let alone posting to the web. it would be much easier for OP to take his watch to a local watch shop to check, isn't it?

[Watchflair]

Glad they could help you resolve it - simple fix to adjust the internal bezel.

Enjoy the piece! Love the orange against the black.

[subtim]

I looked at some of my picture posts of my 15707ce and noticed at a certain angle the 12 o'clock markers do look different in size.

don't let the haters get under your skin. enjoy your timepiece!

So you’re telling me OP has the correct priorities? 😆

[Snake Plissken]

How can you own a watch for 2 years and not realize that it has this function lol
