I’m not sure, although I wonder what the owner did to make the caseback look so beat up.
The ro is usually only a scratch magnet on the dial side.

The screws are completely shot too.

Looks like someone other than AP opened the caseback

Authentic Bustdown 15400 Royal Oak ?
Hey here is my friends 15400 bust down RO. VS+1 purchased in NYC.

Wanted to know your thoughts and if I should have any concerns with authentication? I will try to get more pics because right now it’s being serviced. The 15400 started losing minutes and the date function setting wind stopped working. The price of this was a little high, just wanted to make sure it’s legite. It came with a AP card and box.

I don't see anything wrong with the movement yet, though, both photos show the rotor in the same place, covering the balance wheel.

But seriously, it looks like a watch that has not been loved. The scratches all over the case, the screws mangled up, and of course the stones are not my taste.

Since you've started four threads on this watch, either for yourself or for a friend, I'm putting them all together. Don't start any more pls.
