Does this look authentic ? Panerai buckle

[BenzTech]

Hey guys I Was wondering if you could help me out. I bought this buckle on eBay they claim it’s authentic I was just wondering if you guys can confirm. The buckle has PAND laser etched on the inside and the edges are pretty sharp. Thanks

Does it really matter?

Best way to see if it's authentic is to put it best to one that you know is authentic and compare

Looks good enough, how much did it cost? That can also be a tell sign.

Honestly, while I love and have bought many of the OEM straps, I could never wrap my mind around the idea of paying over $200 for a ss buckle, especially when there are very nice alternatives for $15.

I payed $80 which seems reasonable for authentic piece but if it’s fake than that’s way too much.
Do you guys have one like that that’s 100% authentic are your edges sharp.

I have both authentic and replica buckles.. they are basically identical and I might have lost track of which is which at this point

I bought the same on e-Bay. After further analysis, it is a fake. And the edges are super sharp. I had to file one so that it didn’t destroy my straps. Compared to the OEM it is not bad. But I only use it and on non-OEM straps.
