The fakes of these are so good I wouldn't want to call it. I also wouldn't buy from anyone that I didn't trust 100%.

I asked for a closeup of the buckle. Seller has 100% feedback. May not be aware if fake or not.

I took these with my iPhone, but they seem to be a match..
If you extend the micro adjust all the way out and slowly click it in... Count the clicks. Should be 6 clicks.
I hope this helps, if you have any more questions don't hesitate.

The OP's last picture is the key - it's real. All the fakes I've seen do not have the curved sections on the inside of the clasp between the push buttons, rather that section is a flat extension of the edge of the clasp.
