SS Buckles

Thoughts on these? Looking for a buckle to put on a strap for my Air King 5500.

Thank you!

Buckles is difficult stuff. I can only go by my guts: the first one looks good to me and the second one doesn´t.

Thanks, hoping to find one in a little better shape than the first one, but the engraving was different enough that I'd thought I'd post it for reference.

...hmmmm...

...first one appears counterfeit-LASER ETCHED and lopsided crown.

...second one MAY be genuine, but would need clearer pic's of the back to confirm. (BUT, I am leaning towards fake on this one also because of the apparent screwed up looking lettering.)

...I believe they tried to sell these a few years back also and they were being removed.

...I am surprised to see them at it again.

1 st is fake for sure, the second one looks a lot better but as stan says we really need super clear photos as these are quite difficult to authenticate

I didn´t like the open circle around ROLEXSA in the second one.
