Hey everyone,
I'm looking into buying a AP Dual Time, 15730st from 1995. Now this watch seems decent, but the crown doesn't have an AP logo on it like every other vintage AP I've ever seen. Is this some sort of service crown or should I be concerned about the authenticity of the watch? It does come with papers, but those can be forged of course. Its for sale at Jewels in time in Boca Raton, and if anyone as any experience with them, please do share.

Many 25730ST in circulation without signed crowns. Lots of the 90s Royal Oaks don't have them

This. Unsigned crowns on RO vintage pieces are the original crowns. AP logo crowns are service crowns, collectors usually value the usigned ones more as they are peroid correct.

Seems legit to me. That’s a large outfit with a great deal of eBay feedback as well which should be considered.

Always hard when all we have to go on are the 'professionally done' photos on a website. Provenance of the website/seller important also and they do look like they are legit but that is about as far as one can go to be honest.

Ok, so if there's a 90's 14790st with an AP logo crown, that crown is a replacement one as well? Or is this just a 25730st thing?

That is real.

Looks legit to me.

They have a pretty good reputation and selection. I drive past their storefront everyday.
