Hi Adam,

Just had a look at mine, the word PUSH is just engraved, not sunk into an oval recess (see photo below). I've heard that one check you can do with the strap is to bend it over on itself, the fakes tend to turn a white colour where they bend while the genuine ones do not, also if you post a few phtos that would help as well.

Ive never seen a fake ocean racer clasp so I can only let you in on some of my observations. I compared your pics to my clasp and there are a few differences. My "PUSH" font is different (its a hollow/outline font), and there are just a lot of different angles and notches that differ from yours. It could be a design change, or maybe there are variances between clasp sizes (mine is a smaller size). Another thing: between the two buttons on the bars that you are compressing is a small hole. Mine has a metal bar in there, and yours doesnt appear to have it.

Please don't double post.

I'm merging this thread with the one that is in the replica section and where you are already getting assistance.

Have a look at this site. It looks very similar to me.

Link removed by Roff - DO NOT POST LINKS TO REPLICA SITES

Was it uk ebay. I saw some on there for £175 ? Thought they may be the same ones.
There is also a guy selling 100% gen deployment clasps that are not. He will refund though.
