Well, let me tell ya about them fancy watches, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, and all this talk about serial numbers, real or fake. Now, I ain’t no expert, but I’ve heard things.
See, these watches, they got numbers on ’em. They call ’em serial numbers, and they say it’s like a fingerprint for the watch. Tells you where it came from, who made it, and if it’s the real deal or some cheap copy.
Folks say you gotta look on the back of the watch, the case-back they call it. Supposed to be some numbers there, along with the big “Royal Oak” name. Now, sometimes they put the “Series” on there too, but that’s hit or miss, they say. Depends on when they made it, I guess.
Where’s the number, you ask? Well, if you can’t find it on the back, they say look at your papers, the warranty card or somethin’. If you got those, the number might be there.
- Now, I hear they make these watches with all sorts of fancy stuff. Like this one, they say it’s got a case made of forged carbon, whatever that is. And it glows in the dark! Imagine that, a watch that lights up. Fancy, I tell ya. They say it’s blue and black, and the blue part shines in the dark. Must be some kind of special paint or somethin’.
But the real question is, is it real or fake? And that’s where the serial number comes in. They say every single one of these Audemars Piguet watches has a number, ever since way back in the 1800s. So, if there ain’t no number, somethin’ ain’t right.
You gotta check that number, they say. Make sure it matches up with the papers. If you’re buyin’ one, don’t just take their word for it. Look for yourself. See if the number is there on the back, and if it looks right. Don’t want to get stuck with a fake, now do ya?
And I hear tell, where you find that number might be different dependin’ on the watch. Some might have it in one place, some in another. Guess you gotta know what you’re lookin’ for. Maybe ask someone who knows about these things.
They say there’s folks who write about this stuff, tell you how to spot a fake. They got guides, they call ’em. Tell you all the things to look for, all the little differences between the real and the fake. Might be worth a look if you’re thinkin’ about buyin’ one of these fancy watches.
The Royal Oak, they say it started back in 1972. Been around a long time, I guess. Must be somethin’ special about ’em, people payin’ all that money for ’em.
So, there you have it. What I’ve heard about them Audemars Piguet watches and their serial numbers. Just remember, if you’re gonna get one, make sure it’s the real deal. Check that number, and don’t get fooled by no cheap copy.
