Hey guys,

Purchased this strap off a guy from ebay..

Think I may have purchased a fake. it's a green 20/16 - only noticed because of the wings logo stamped on the buckle. However, you can't see the logo on the back side of the buckle like most other fakes.

Comparing it to my deployant, it looks completely different. What do you guys think?

But check out the wings logo. There seems to be two 'rectangle' shapes near the 'B' - on my deployant and there seems to be details in these rectangles.

The strap is real for sure, buckle also looks real.
Take another shot of buckle if you want to be sure.

Awesome news, Because I wanted to sell it on here, but I wasn't 100% sure it was genuine because of the wings logo.

No, I purchased it because it was sold as 20/18, when in fact it was 20/16. I wore it for a while and didn't like it because it was too narrow for my liking. And I have been looking at getting rid of it

My first instinct was that it would be fake because of the COSC hang tag which has no relevance to a strap.

However, it looks real to me too.

Thanks guys. So the wings logo does vary depending on strap type and age?
