I came across this listing for a 42mm ROO that looks too good to be true. I love a good legit check so here's my guess but curious to know what the experts here think. It's better than a stock rep but I don't think it's genuine and here are my guesses which I'd be curious to hear what others think:

1. Modded JF (based on logo placement on the dial), maybe thinned
2. Mikey DW?
3. Tachy shave (the space to the date looks better than rep but still doesn't look gen to me based on the placement on the dial)

Curious to hear what others think?

Here's a photo from the listing in case it gets taken down:

That looks awful, and I don't know anything about AP ROOs.

Oh wow, yes rep. I am unable to say if I modded it, as I did many pandas, and watch could have passed through a few hands. Thanks for the heads up.

i was looking at hands and wondered..

Not discounting that possibility bro but a few modders here are capable of doing the same or better. :legend:

where did i say they were exceptionally good ? LOL

I have seen so many modded roos I think I learnt the difference of style/technique on hands or tachys you guys have. Does not look like aflop style if I may add. My humble opinion not backed by any fact or belief

yes I got your point the first time round. Wasn't referring to them being exceptionally good or bad. More of a difference of style.
That was the reason I said it could be a watch I modded.
Any idea where the seller is from btramos ?

It's a JF dial because the markers are 'lacquered'. SuperLory is right, definitely doesn't look like the aflop style.
