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...

Got one just like it. I hope so. $20 is a good deal

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

idk about this one. the whole turkey thing makes me think its a knockoff from China. But how can one be sure?

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

I dont know for sure but rolex often use many fonts in same and different eras, so it is quite hard to tell IMHO sometimes.
