Is this a genuine 42mm ROO strap and buckle?

If anyone can help tell. It comes with plots too. Thanks all.

It is very difficult to determine originality from the photos. In particular for the buckle and plots. I have both original and aftermarket form my ROO and I am not sure any more which set was original.

For the strap it is easier since fake rubber is different, even in case of high quality copies that I have seen. Still, it is very difficult to determine it from the photos.

it would be easier to tell if you could take a good shot of the inside of the buckle and a profile shot of the buckle. The fakes have differen profiles and a different coating on the inside of the buckle.

It. Looks correct (OEM) to me, it even has the sandblasted finish on the inside of the buckle.

Looks good so far. Sharp profile. Is there an emblem on the inside left of the “acier noix” lettering?

Yes, there is one. Hard to take a clearer shot than this though. Appreciate your help
