Yes, I can see it. Must be part of the disengage mechanism. Are you happy with the quality of the numbering and script on the back? This is how i would expect it to look. Crisp, deep, regular with some texture at the bottom.

Its not a "wire" - its a spring.
And its there on your watch too!
If it was missing your watch would not hack.

AP told you, a watchmaker told you, I and others in TRF told you.

Its NOT possible that your watch is fake based on the photos!!!!

its the focus. thats off for sure. The the movement looks OK. Im guessing the script is more sharp than represented IRL or with a better photographer.

OP... did you register the watch with AP? their system won't accept an incorrect serial number. That should be further confirmation to ease your mind.

Despite that, and the fact I explained by PM and on this thread that your watch is GENUINE and there could be no doubt to that by an AD, myself or others that understand movements.

You still followed this

Absolutely!
That red thingy in the center looks like ruby that was stolen from the CROWN of Her Majesty The Queen.
This could be serious!
