Authenticity check: AP Royal Oak 15400(?) with black bezel?
[pics](https://imgur.com/gallery/HSAVSC7)
Hello, my co-worker brought this watched and asked if it was authentic. I’m not an AP expert but I believe it is not authentic because: I’ve never seen a black bezel on an AP that looks like 15400. The bracelet is polished. The date colors are reversed. I believe the authentic has black background with white text. The movement has prints on it and the rotor is a thin piece of gold colored metal. The thickness of the watch looks too thick. The bracelet does not feel solid. The logo on the bracelet does not look right. and these are just from my untrained eyes. This was given by his brother to his son as a gift. With that, it is my opinion that it is not an authentic AP. But, like I said, I’m not an expert and I told him I’ll post it here for others to comment. Thank you for your time. |

Can't see proper pics, just a small image and it has a black bezel so is a fake. How much he pay? Or was he paid to take it?

It was given to his son as a gift. But was told it was high value.
But from what my co-worker says, his brother doesn’t really know about watches. |

Thank you! It’s what I expected.
I just wanted another opinion from people who know more than me. |

Very fake. What’s with the sudden influx of posts asking about bad fakes?

that may be one of the worst fakes i have seen.
Its almost like an homage that makes no attempt to be like the real thing until i read "Audemars Piguet" on the dial

Thanks again for all the responses.
I was very skeptical once I saw it, but I figured I’d ask you all. I’m a bit more knowledgeable with Rolex, but clueless with AP. Have a wonderful day everyone. |

That’s not even a good fake. Nowhere close to even trying to be a fake.

You don't need to be an expert to know a POS when you see/hold one.
