1068 BOR authenticity check

Marcello130 · Jan 6, 2025

Hi Folks

Bought this one from a seller in Hong Kong via eBay. The guy has 100% positive reviews which is why I went for it, but I feel he sold me a fake .. Pointers:

Doesn’t feel smooth, links actually get entangled when you push them together
Links seem a little smaller compared to the 1068 on my Cosmic.
Strange dent caused by the reference number imprint

What do you think?

Looks real to me. Just normal variation due to manufacturing over a number of years and different wear patterns.

Cool - thanks! what made me think it is genuine when I bought it was also the correct way the links are put together. It seems like a lot of effort to manufacture a correct BOR for it to sell for 100-200 USD later on the grey market.
But then it just felt so different when I had it in hands. But yeah, probably different production batch / period.
