Not a strap expert but the fake croc straps I know of have "Cuir", not "Croco" on the back.

Put me down as a don't know :wink:

Stamping is wrong for modern ones, but it has changed a few times over the years so could be older.

Very very poor and inconsistent stitching, Very poor curve to spring bar on the backing, lack of ink printing, poor curve from narrow to end width.

I am for sure no expert but I would be very surprised if these are indeed genuine.

It's an old one, but perfectly real.

Not sure on this one, looks good quality but i have never seen a Breitling strap without the width & length stamped on the end.
