Oh honey, let me tell ya about these fancy watches, the Audemars Piguet automatics. Folks always wanna know, is it real or is it a fake? It’s a big question, like tellin’ the difference between a real diamond and a piece of glass. But don’t you worry, I’ll give ya some tips, just like I’d tell my own grandkids.
First thing, look at the back of the watch, see? They got these numbers and letters all mixed up, like a secret code. That’s the serial number, they call it. Every watch has its own, just like everyone’s got their own fingerprints. If it ain’t there, or if it looks all wonky, like a chicken scratched it on, somethin’ ain’t right.
- Real ones got those numbers real neat and tidy.
- Fakes? Sometimes they miss letters, or the numbers ain’t straight.
Now, where do ya get that fancy paper that says it’s the real deal? Well, that comes from a place far away, in Switzerland. Fancy name, somethin’ like “Le Brassus.” They make the watches there, see, and only they can give ya that paper. Don’t trust no one else sellin’ ya a paper sayin’ it’s real. You gotta take your watch to a real Audemars Piguet store, they call ’em “boutiques,” and let them fellas look at it.
Folks ask me all the time, “How do I know if my watch is real?” Well, it ain’t easy, sugar. Them fakes, they’re gettin’ good. But there’s always somethin’ that gives ’em away. Like lookin’ at a pie, you can tell if it’s homemade or store-bought, right? Same with these watches.
Feel the weight of it. A real Audemars Piguet, it’s got some heft to it. It’s like holdin’ a good piece of iron, not some flimsy tin can. Them fakes, they feel cheap, light as a feather sometimes. And the tickin’? A real one ticks smooth, like a good clock. Fakes, they sometimes tick all jerky, like they’re coughin’ or somethin’.
And the look of it, now that’s important. The real ones, they shine just right. Not too shiny, not too dull. Like a good pot, you know? And the little details, like the hands and the numbers, they’re perfect. No smudges, no mistakes. Fakes, they often mess up those little things. Maybe the letters are a bit off, or the edges aren’t clean.
You gotta look real close, honey. Use your eyes, your fingers, your ears. It’s like lookin’ at vegetables in the market. You gotta check for bruises, feel the firmness, smell the freshness. Same with these watches. Don’t let nobody rush ya. Take your time and look real good.
Remember, if the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Like if someone’s sellin’ you a diamond for the price of a button, you know somethin’ ain’t right. Same with these watches. They’re expensive, honey. Ain’t no one gonna give ’em away for cheap.
So there ya have it. Just a few things to look out for. Remember, it’s all in the details. Just like bakin’ a good cake, you gotta pay attention to every little thing. Don’t be fooled, sugar. Use your head and trust your gut. You’ll figure it out.
