I think I can call it as fake based upon the picture of the underside of the clasp. The first pic is the one for sale and the second pic is mine. Note portion of the clasp in the area of the pushers that extends under the piece folded above it. This seems to be the same defect we see on most fakes when a picture is taken of the open clasp. One consistent tell has always been the lip of the clasp between the pushers.

Enough here that I would not touch it.

I should have just read it first! Just about the entire site is Aftermarket stuff. Description of the item in question - "You are considering a brand new high quality aftermarket Ocean Racer style rubber dive strap in blue manufactured for perfect fitment for fine Breitling timepieces." :oops: :oops: :oops:

Yeah, that would be a giveaway :roll:

I tend to assume that if an OP asks us whether it's real they have already read the description, but maybe that's just me.
