The AP is supposed to be APS factory and came with all APS stickers. I've never opened a watch in my life so not sure about getting a movement pic? I'll take one of clasp etc tomorrow in daylight. Thank you!
the AP looks to have the clone 4301 movement, I **think** It's APSF as I'm not an AP expert. The sub, I would need to see the serial number, clasp code, etc, or at least the movment to give a more thorough opinion on it.

yes, APS Factory ie: APSF. That looks correct from what I know. The sub, what were you told about the maker? The easiest way to unscrew a sub caseback without tools is a wad of duct tape sticky side out. Make sure the movement is hacked before opening it and be careful upon closure of the caseback gasket so you don't comprimise the seal.

That sub looks too good to be an AAA, OP's lens was simply dirty. My guess is it's a vsf 114060.
From what I can see of the serial I don't think it is. Might be a fake clean, not sure. The dial font appears a bit thick in the pictures. Notice how the O and Y in oyster bump into each other? Also, the 114060 is a no date, his has a date so it's a 116610 LN

Oh yea I mistyped there :ROFLMAO: and good observation. Nonetheless I think $1300 for 3 watches is alright. Let's see what OP posts next.

Hi,
Simply because I forgot the page/login and wanted to update. I'm also not the most tech savvy guy, so please bare with me 😀

Thanks for all the good input!

That crystal looks worse than my daughters glasses. I've seen clearer glass on the bathroom mirror after a very long and very hot shower WITH the missus. In fact, it's so bad, Jamie Lee Curtis would shit her pants if she saw it.

Oh, and hooo da foook is Newman Rich? If you bought that from a non TD, I bet you got shafted harder than my wife during one of those very long hot shower sessions. At $1,300 it sure sounds like Newman Rich didn't use lube or give you the courtesy of a reach around
Here's how the watches arrived:

I can't figure out how to delete one of the threads. Can you remove either one please?

Also, here's how the watches arrived. Let me know your opinion if you have time.

I see you reference to buying from, and I quote, "**Redacted** here on the forum" in you earlier post. Is that the name of one of the TD´s? Or just a member? :p
No diss on anyone, just want to make sure no one is taking you for a ride.

Anyways, congrats on you purchase!

**was not my intent to call out the seller, if its an actual member, so I redacted the name!
