First off, you got these ads popping up everywhere, right? “AAA Grade!” “Super Clone!” “Free Shipping!” It’s all so tempting, especially when you see that “Iced Out” AP Royal Oak for like, a fraction of the price of the real deal. I mean, who *wouldn’t* be tempted? Okay, maybe someone who actually *has* the real deal wouldn’t. But still!
Then you got these build threads, like this one about the 15400OR in “full solid rose gold.” Sounds fancy, right? But then they’re talking about “AP mods” to fix the “rough finish.” So wait, it’s *solid gold* but it’s…rough? Doesn’t quite add up, does it? It’s like buying a Lamborghini but you gotta take it to your buddy’s garage to get the paint job right.
And then there’s the whole “iced out” situation. Like, you can find a *replica* AP Royal Oak 15400 “ICED” for thirty grand. Thirty THOUSAND! Now, I’m no watch expert, but if you’re spending that kind of money on a *replica*, something’s seriously wrong. You could probably buy a decent used car, or, you know, *actual* gold with that kinda cash. Just sayin’.
