Is this genuine?
Since I'm looking for a SS buckle, would this be authentic? Price seems pretty low though
Crowncollection - I know you'll read this lol so here's my question. In the picture that you posted on my thread, it says "acierinox" on the left, "rolexsa" in the middle and "Swiss" on the right. Is that how all genuine buckles should be in that pattern? Have a look at this one! Rolexsa and Swiss are both on the right side Thank you!!! http://m.ebay.com/itm/221631521253?nav=SEARCH

Um, no and no to my eye. The trademarks are so badly done that one looks more like Rolek than Rolex.

Agreed no and no. It's going to cost you about $100 or so for a real one. Best just to pony up the few extra bucks...

Thanks guys! I definitely had a feeling because it was so cheap and I know the roll marks aren't suppose to be so dark

It is a non-rerialized item that Rolex often farmed out to other companies.
Rolex maintained high quality standards, but the originals came on leather bands--far, far less popular than metal. Which is more likely? (a) The seller has upgraded 30 Rolex watches from leather to SS and kept the buckles (b) The seller bought 30 of these from a Rolex AD and decided to lose huge amounts of money on each sale. (c) The seller found a Chinese company making knock-offs for $3.00 each |
