Is this Buckle Genuine?
Does anyone know how I can tell if a vintage Rolex bracelet buckle is genuine?
This one's on eBay now and I'm tempted... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...:B:WNA:US:1123 Thanks for any clues!! |

Looks okay to me, but where it's located throws up some red flags!

I was under the impression the writing on the back should be engraved like this.

Thanks all of you for the help, and for the most excellent photo fr Frogman4me -- very helpful! So I passed, given the skepticism from some of you.... and now I wonder, where does find a reliable vintage ss buckle??
