Rolex Buckle Real or Fake?

Hi fellas,

It's me again with another Rolex buckle authenticity question that requires your expertise. I apologize for the photo quality these are all the seller has to offer. In your expert opinions, real or fake? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Hope everyone is having a happy and safe holiday!

...STAY AWAY from this one...

...first, the most prominent thing is the fact that the crown is positioned TOO HIGH on the frame.

...second, it APPEARS to have laser etched hallmarks as opposed to stampings.

...attached are views of genuine stampings.

...BTW, WELCOME ABOARD and enjoy your stay on the FINEST Rolex Forums on the planet!!

Stan.

Tudorman8276,

Thank you for your thorough response and welcome to the board!
I'm working on 1969 Rolex Air King restoration project and in need of both a band and buckle. If you know of anyone reputable that has these items, please let me know. Happy holidays to you Sir!
