First off, let’s just be real, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Like, if someone’s offering you an “iced-out” AP for the price of a used Honda Civic? Red flag city, my dude. Seriously. Those real diamonds and the craftsmanship? That stuff ain’t cheap.
Now, about the watch itself. Check those screws. Apparently, they should be, like, *really* embedded and all evenly colored. Not sticking out like they just slapped ’em on there. One article said something about them not being “embossed,” whatever that means, but yeah, deep screws, that’s the key.
Then there’s the sound. Supposedly, real APs are super quiet. Like, ninja silent. So, if you hear a loud TICK-TOCK action going on? Yeah, that’s a no-go. I mean, I’d imagine a real AP would whisper sweet nothings, not shout like a cheap alarm clock.
And the logo and markings? Man, apparently, those are a dead giveaway. If it’s all wonky and uneven, or if the color starts changing (probably because it’s made of, like, actual garbage), then you’ve got yourself a fake. Which, sucks, obviously. They always change colors?! That sounds sus af. Like, what, does it turn green when you’re lying? Haha, just kidding. (Mostly.)
Honestly, the best advice I can give you? Get it checked out by a pro. Like, those guys at SWD Watches, the article mentioned. They know their stuff. It might cost you a few bucks, but trust me, it’s way better than dropping serious cash on a fake.
‘Cause here’s the thing, even if it *looks* good, the materials probably aren’t. And I saw one piece mentioning a “certificate showing the clarity of the diamonds”…that’s all well and good, *if* the certificate is actually real! Just saying, gotta be skeptical.
