Strap looks real, can't really tell on the clasp from those photos.

All the markings on the strap are correct, but I don't like it.
Doesn't look good to me.
Just a personal opinion.

I'm pretty sure the strap is fake so I must assume the buckle is too. The strap has the known telltale in that the embossed "Manufacturre en" and "Suisse" text don't align

The seller also has recent history of selling fake Breitling straps (mock-croc labelled "Cuir")

On second thought- Maybe I Wont! Thanks, All! I just don't know how he would be able to sell it that cheap if it were real...

We have come a across this seller before.

viewtopic.php?f=9&t=41923

It appears that fake mock croc straps are now being correctly labelled "Croco"
