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.

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.

Thanks for the help Roffensian
