First AP - Genuine?

Hi There,

I've been looking at getting my first AP for a while now. I wouldn't normally purchase 2nd hand however a happened to spot one on ebay which looked pretty good value. I'm always a little skeptical so thought I'd post it on here and see if anyone could spot anything which immediately jumped out as pointing to it being fake? I can't recall seeing the "8, 16, 24" on any AP subdials before?

If genuine, would anyone also be able to advise which model this is?

Thanks,
Scott

Cheers, thought that may be the case. I'll just have to keep looking.

if it was real, it would be priced at least at $12,000US or more. What were they asking?

For a gold AP chrono on a bracelet? Try multiplying that by 3 or 4

If that was for sale for anything less than 40k I'd be very suspicious. It's hardly a first AP, and who spends 40k on ebay?

I suspect the price would have given the game away on this one.

The color of the RG is totally off.

It looked stainless to me. Thought the color was from the background light of the photo
