Can't find the listing on an English language eBay to report, but look at where the clasp extension comes into the clasp - top of the picture. It's all squared off on the fake and should be curved, that's the easiest spot.

Found a very used one, is this real ?
How much should one pay for this ?

Are they easy to polish to look like new ?

Can't tell from those photos, we need to see the underside of it with the clasp open.

Oops, was searching the wrong number :oops:

Reported - "Inside casting of the clasp is wrong as is the 'push' button."

Sorry, I don't do pricing, but a new one is around $350 I believe and this is a long way from being new.

It doesn't look real because it's damaged, it looks real because it doesn't look like a fake. The scratches should clean up ok with a polishing cloth like Cape Cod or Sunshine - plenty of threads on here about them, but some of those scratches are probably too deep to remove completely.
