legend You sir are a tease. I actually have no idea whether yours is real or not - any differences I can see could easily be explained by different lighting.

In any case, both the front and the rear are spectacular.

lol, ok sir there is no replica of the watch you showed yet. So mine a genuine AP Royal Oak Offshore.
I do agree with you that it is beautiful in person, even with the hideous amounts of scratches accumulated through wear.

From the rear, one very easy tell is to look at the position of the balance wheel (the part which visibly oscillates. In the AP cal. 3120, the balance wheel position is behind the 7-8 o'clock area when viewing from the front (or 4-5 o'clock position when viewing directly from the back) and in the A7750 sec@12 which the replica ROOs use, the balance wheel position is behind the 10-11 o'clock area when viewing from the front (1-2 o'clock when viewing from the back).
The tells from the front have been discussed numerous times and I will not waste your time trying to tell you. :)

legend Well, hats off you you then sir, you are undoubtedly a man of quality.
My gratitude for taking the time to explain the rear tells - I still have much to learn.

For anyone reading this thinking that the watch looks good, I cannot overstate how much better it looks in person.

I’d say not bad at all with regard to the price.

Don’t forget to check if all the screws are tight.

Wear her well.

Completely agree - it's a lovely watch either way but in real life it has you reaching for the Amex....

non-TD stock Noob Offshore Diver Chronograph Green from the July 2019 Noob Fire Sale for your critical viewing pleasure

This watch gave me the most heartburn during QC with what appeared to be misaligned markers. In person it’s much better but marker at 6 still seems crooked and something still seems off about the markers at 2/4/6/8 when looked at in totality.

For $198 definitely no complaints. Ordered white gloves from Amazon to simulate the full TD QC photo experience :giggle:
