Too many fakes in this World,my dear friends...
Today I saw a nice AP Royal Oak-in fact,I had an offer to buy it,as a known watch-fan in my community:D:D

It looked really genuine.He offered it to me for 500 Euros,which-taking into account the price&quality of this master-piece,I was willing to pay.
However, we went together to a local AD..he opened the case-back...and we saw Miyota-Japan It turned out to be just a replica...he then dropped the price in 100 EUR.I answered I would`nt take it even he give it to me for free.
I was very mad and nervous....

Making metal note: do not ever buy a watch from Macedonia without looking inside. Man alvin, either fakes are rampant where you are or you're a magnet for them.

Hm...could be both of them.:D:D
Honestly,there are a lot of genuine watches in my place...but most of the owners don`t sell them.
So maybe is me?

That price sounded too good to be true, no? I would always be leery of anyone selling a watch for way less than it's worth - unless I personally knew the person and their situation.

Sorry to hear your disappointment though...must have been a bummer :(

Alarm bells should have rang when it was offered to you for €500! LOLOL

It did rang actually...even he tried to explain that he bought it from a gambler who desperately needed some money

....and my last used car was previously owned by a little old lady who only drove it to church on Sundays.
