authentic polished deployment buckle & rubber?

[wluk]

Hi all,

I just got this from a person who claims he is an authorized Panerai dealer in France. I understand on the back of the deployment buckle should have small words "Panerai" repeated for the brushed version. But I have never seen a polished version other than this one I have and it doesn't have those small words on the back. Please help me identify if this is authentic or not.

Thanks.

The top screw driver is my original. the bottom one came with the buckle.


top is original from my watch, bottom came with the strap and deployment buckle



the rubber strap is a bit softer and not as smooth as my original. it traps dust quite easily.

my original is a bit thicker and blacker.
