Real OEM or REP straps and buckles on the bay?

[tech]

Has anyone purchased anything from this seller?

ebay PAM auction

He sells "authentic" PAM straps and buckles as well as AP straps...they all look very suspicious to me.

And they should. I only took a quick look but they look like garbage. Do we really think Audemars or Panerai offers a croco-leather strap? By the way the OEM deployants are more than the entire strap buckle combos he is offering.

Thanks. It would seem that he has misled a lot of buyers judging by all that feedback.

Yeah, standard words like "authentic" and citing the brand can be misleading and give the seller plausible deniability. And yes, I learned the hard way.

How does that give them plausible deniability? I thought the words Authentic Panerai Strap would imply that it is genuine.

[Watchmeister]

It isn't "genuine".

Looks like a proper scammer going on how many he's sold I mean where do you get hold of that many genuines straps ? They are obviously fakes also sold some rolex stuff
