How to check if a strap is genuine

[roger.bolton]

Hi,

I am looking for a OEM/Genuine strap. I found this listing

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233859470...torefresh=true

The seller looks legit, however it has no marking on the back of one of the pieces.

The strap that came with my watch says "Made in italy" on one and "Officine Panerai" on the other.

Is this inconsistency normal?

Thanks
Roger

Doesn’t look OEM. Did you buy it? Markings should be on the strap.

I did buy it.

I sent it back as I was not 100% happy.

The rubber was not nearly as stiff as the original.
