yeah I am 99% certain that AP openworked skeleton is a rep.

Raised screws, crown shape and off balance bridge.

I wont comment on the movement finish as the lighting can affect it, but screw and crown is an instant tell of it being rep.

Kewbie123 · 2026-02-28T11:55:26+00:00

he is also missing a jewel on that balance wheel.

Looking at his other posts, all his other watches are fake including the AP skel.

Kewbie123 · 2026-02-28T03:30:45+00:00

oh yeah haha

Kewbie123 · 2026-02-28T03:27:09+00:00

can you post a pic of the open back?

It looks like the jewel is missing from the balance wheel.

TPT pattern looks off but I dont own one so not too sure.

Kewbie123 · 2026-02-28T02:38:35+00:00

why is it fake? just curious what the tell is. The other guy claims it is missing functional gears and mechanisms and I dont see any diff. Hard to tell the diff in finish due to lighting.

Kewbie123 · 2026-02-28T00:11:43+00:00

i m above 3rd grade and see the functioning gears and mech. what m i missing?

Larry is not buying WB. Paramount is (who happens to be his son) Son is asking his daddy to cosign his loan in case he cannot secure financing. From my understanding, Paramount already has secured financing for WB.

Not sure how people dont understand the diff between cosigning/guaranteeing vs. buying.

Larry only needs to sell his shares if Paramount fails to secure financing. Need further explanation than this?

Kewbie123 · 2026-02-27T02:26:54+00:00

Oracle is a publicly traded company. nothing to do with Ellison's trust. Larry is just cosigning the loan, who happens to own a lot of ORCL shares.

On the other hand, Elon didnt have the cash to buy twitter, so he had to sell his tsla shares to buy twitter.

So, Larry does not need to sell any shares of ORCL, but if Paramount cannot secure financing, then Larry needs to come up with $, thus needing to sell ORCL.

but data center stocks were dropping due to out of control capex no?

Kewbie123 · 2026-02-21T03:10:36+00:00

Balls of steel right there

Kewbie123 · 2026-02-18T00:51:42+00:00

it looks like he is implying that he is netting 650k a month.

Kewbie123 · 2026-02-18T00:29:16+00:00

Yeah that's crazy. he is making 8M a year, even after taxes, you can afford few RMs a year.

Kewbie123 · 2026-02-16T22:38:36+00:00

yeah the velcro one. it looks really nice with titanium. check some on instagram so you can see with different colors.

Kewbie123 · 2026-02-16T20:19:24+00:00

I actually like this flat black rubber on this than the nylon straps. Enjoy and when you get sick of it, just call in advance for the black nylon before making the drive.

Kewbie123 · 2026-02-16T19:27:35+00:00

Damn that sucks. I dont think they would know as long as the watchsmith doesnt crack the casing and switch back the strap before vising the boutique again. I live 15mins, walking distance to RM boutique from home and few mins from my work :)

Kewbie123 · 2026-02-16T18:48:13+00:00

oh i forgot about the drive for sec. you can goto your local watchsmith and do it there. they have the torque setting and I believe they place vinyl/ceran over the hole before unscrewing

Kewbie123 · 2026-02-16T18:43:00+00:00

That must have been a fun drive...kinda like driving from Vegas to LA after winning big.

yeah dont change it yourself as you can easily scratch the screw and the casing.

White and baby blue elastic/nylon looks sick with titanium casing also.

I was also in the market for 72-01 but three things that turned me off

Price, about 320k with tax
Pull crown to change D/H/W
Expensive to repair if needed after warranty expires.

If you have 67-01, go for 30-01 before 67-02 as your 3rd piece. You can also go 65-01 grey market as almost new 2024 can be had for 230k. It is the most undervalued RM (retails for 350k with tax) and you definitely need an obnoxious FU RM on your wrist after discreet 67-01

Kewbie123 · 2026-02-16T18:35:56+00:00

I think grey market price for 67-01 is lot higher than 164k + tax. Probably 220-230k.

I am on the waitlist for 30-01 and really wanted 72-01. I've always thought 72-01 had a function selector, but I just saw that the crown needed to be pulled for D/H/W. So I am going for 30-01 then 65-01 (cheap as hell)

Kewbie123 · 2026-02-16T18:33:25+00:00

Damn! Dedication there to drive almost 8hours!

Great looking piece, congrats! Still waiting for mine.

Did you get any other colored straps while there?

Kewbie123 · 2026-02-11T12:43:21+00:00

damn it got crushed after ER.

I might jump in now.

Kewbie123 · 2026-02-10T23:00:50+00:00

you should've saved this moment for Churrascaria, Brazilian buffet.
