I always thought they all did but I'm seeing more and more pics that claim authenticity and I can't figure out if true or not.   I'm not naive thinking that people lie  I'm just fairly new to Breitling watches and don't know all the ways to spot yet save for what I've read and what I read is that all Breitling logos should be raised- but those aren't official Breitling docs.

Not vintage, so moving to the right section, and they are perfectly correct. Logos were stamped until about 2008. |

I have purchased 6 breitling straps with tang buckles within the last 6 months and some have raised logos and some are indented logo style, I was wondering about that myself. |

They were stamped for more than 20 years, so you'll probably see a lot of them. |

One giveaway on the fake 'impressed' style - the earlier counterfeit buckles tended to be made from inferior steel, and quite often the impression would vaguely show through on the underside of the buckle. This is not always the case, and later fakes were almost indistinguishable from an original, but an easy way to spot a poor quality replica. The bad news is that I have now seen a new style Diver buckle, with the raised logo, that was fitted to a definitely fake rubber (reference number was wrong). Even side by side to a genuine example, I couldn't tell the difference in the buckles - so unless they're fitting genuine buckles on to fake straps (unlikely), the fakers have caught up again...
