Hi guys,
I was looking for a 15400 and spotted something that looks like a rep, here's the link https://www.chrono24.fr/audemarspigu...-id9923540.htm
Case appear to be thick, printing quality is def a JF classic, looks at the minute markers, AP logo crooked, Audemars Piguet printing is thin like a JF v3 and the infamous sWiss maDe.
Maybe everything is due to the low quality of the pictures.
What do you think?

Absolutely fake...seems to be a private seller that is using documents from a famous watch seller of Rome to sell a rep.

JF 15400 V4 with the updated DWO but still shitty tapisserie pattern.

Also thicker than the gen and way too cheap for a boutique only model on the grey market hehe

100% without a doubt rep. Who takes pictures like that when they're selling such a precious watch.

I contacted Chrono24 via form on their website. Hope they will take it seriously. Imagine someone buying this $11K rep.

Gotta love his handwriting, very professional.

Lmao I laughed about it.

Been reported this sales before post there, a few more reports could be helps to take down this cancer.

Edit: Seems the scammer sold his JF v3 with updated DW...

It says "SOLD" on the page. Bad news for whoever got scammed, hope they get it dealt with.

Seller could have simply listed it as SOLD to save face. It may not may not have been sold but in view of the reports submitted it is more likely withdrawn.

Yeah, hope Chrono24 reached out to him, and he just took the watch down. This is a terrible scam, essentially scamming someone for 11K EUR .. terrible.

I’m currently viewing a local Rolex 1680 for sale for only 2200€... that’s a fifth to a tenth of the usual pricing. I’m curious to check it out closer but it’s probably a fake, even tho it comes « with papers » and looks real on pictures.

Stay away from weird low prices

You can have the seller meet you at your watchsmith and have it authenticated before you buy? I would never buy a gen watch online.
