So I picked two of these up in the last month. I love the watch, it's amazing and great for everyday wear and very comfortable on the Audemars kevlar strap.
I noticed a few things. The case is identical as well as the dial. The Crowns however have different engraving, very subtle but noticeable.
Also the back engraving is different, notice the R in Royal and the r in Offshore. AUTOMATIC is different as well as the serial numbers. Even the AP logo is a bit different as well as positioning.
They are both E but we know this was a long run for E and many watches were produced. This is just interesting to see. Anyone have any thoughts?
BTW both verified authentic and now waiting to get the birthdays of these beauties.
