Breitling NOS Strap - anyone seen this?

[gtanak]

Hi guys,

Found this online and it looks different from the current Breitling gen crocodile straps for deployant. The current ones i see have the inscriptions printed, this one in the pic is embossed and there are no size numbers (20-18) on the lug ends like the current ones now. Does anyone know or have a gen croc strap with similar markings? I believe this might be a previous version of Gen breitling croc strap. Found it at a good price and want to be sure its good.

Thanks in advance

not sure about the markings, but this one looks a little too shiny to my eyes. it may just be the pictures, but the genuine breitling crocodile straps i've had have had a finish that was much less shiny than in your picture

Thanks Delta,

Its from a reputable jeweler shop who guarantees its authenticity but just wanted to hear more opinions here. Its retailing at nearly half price from Retail which is quite a steal... Anyone else can comment or seen something similar?

No disrespect to your jeweler, but the only real way to guarantee it is authentic is if they are a AD. I have seen reputable dealers have rep straps that they thought were the real deal.
