Fakes Getting Better And Better, Such A Pain To Buy pre Owned From Privates.
Hi To everyone, I want to share an episode that happened to me in these days. I was proposed a Audemars Piguet Barrichello, pre owned in mint condition from a private seller. So I said : if the price is good I will go for it l After a long chat, the private seller was saying that he lost the original warranty, can happen. .. The day after we meet in my showroom and after a great look at the watch I wasn't 100% sure about his originality. So I decided do bring it to my watchmaker and after opening the caseback the verdict was clear.... Be carefull, and buy only from reputable sellers!!!!

Incoming!! Finally my first AP...
Hello Everyone,I am a happy man and and proud to say I wrapped up a deal today on a pre-loved AP. Wound up getting an H serial that was purchased in July 2011 at a price I could not refuse! Pictures will follow and the watch is expected for delivery to me on Tuesday. Thanks to everyone on the forum for there pictures and advice. I have been looking at AP's since last year and finally found the one. Can't wait to get it!

Three handed dress watch options
Current collection is this - Thinking about trading in my Reverso 976 and IWC Portuguese chrono for a dress watch/ Precious metal watch. I've always like the the PP 5196, but cant really make up my mind. Also still flirting with Lange, AP and VC. Would there be a chance of a new Calatrava line in 2017 with new movements? What would you get?The options in order of preference are PP 5196 J/G/R/PPP 5205RPP 5296 the clean dial PP 5227 white dialVC Patrimony TraditionnellePP thanks for voting and giving me some ideas!

My favourite watch and my faithful friend
