Clasp advice?

Okay, the one with the more "pointy" end to the top of the clasp, the polished version (as pictured) are more blunt and rounded and only come polished from what I've found.

Surely it makes more sense just to either brush or polish the same clasp, I can't see different clasps made for each finish.
Here's a couple of photos of my titanium clasp and I doubt it's a different shape to it's steel counterparts.

I found this, notice how the "new" style has more of a pointy end compared to the "old" style being blunt. The old style is also slightly smaller is all dimensions too.

But they don't, the new clasp has been changed slightly, see above.

They made the new style with a point for looks and beefed up the dimensions ever so slightly. Its essentially the same clasp.

Question still is, comparing this to the old style clasp, is this authentic? Looks really good to me, but I'm not an expert either?

But you said the older style rounded version is only available in the polished finish.

I know, that's what I said, it was different and has different dimensions. You were comparing the one I posted to the new style and they're not the same. I'd like to see it compared next to the style it represents.

My point was the finish.... new.... old...... omega wouldnt let it leave with a shitty finish. You're paying for that quality. So either it's fake or the pictures depict it wrong. You probably won't find any "clasp experts" rather just people like us who can do some comparison. Find someone with the old style and compare those.

I don't now about that? That's not the question at hand, whether or not the one I'm looking at is authentic compared to the older style is what we're talking about. BradleyJ posted a picture of the new style for comparison and said he thought the one I posted was fake because it didn't look like his newer style. The styles are slightly different so they can't be compared, we need an older style.

The finish looks pretty good to me? Nice and polished, but the proof will be in the details which I don't have at hand and can't compare.
Price really isn't a factor here, yes normally if it's really cheap they're crap. This ones discounted way below factory, but so was my new Original bracelet I paid $200 for and my new original alligator strap I paid $85 for, so price isn't ALWAYS the tell all. People dump this stuff they don't need anymore and really aren't up to what they'll bring I believe.

Its either so much it's worth just buying a new one from omega or it's so low that the fact it still has plastic on it and it's new doesn't make sense to sell that low. Am I close?

Lol, no it’s around $80 so right in line with the other items I’ve dug up from people dumping them. Gotta consider the source of the seller. That’s why I posted an image for someone that’s an expert to weigh in on.

Hard to "consider the source" when you've given zero details. Heres a website to check out. Same pictures..... literally the same exact pictures but this one is sold. So why is the one you are interested in using the same pictures. That's kinda sketchy alone. So if it's a private sale then the seller stole someone else's pictures or they are selling numerous clasps which also raises some concerns. Mainly I'd ask why someone has multiple old style clasps that have never been used before.

He has a couple of them listed, still don’t know if they’re real or not. They look legit?

So he bought a few to sell and hes selling them for way below everyone else? Not the best financial strategy.

I don’t care what his strategy is, only if they’re original or not. I’ve already bought some items way below market and I’m sure they could have gotten more too. Authenticity is all I’m concerned with.

You're all over the place. You said you didnt buy some and now you did buy some. The last clasp thread you said you got a smoking deal on one and then came back a post or two later and said you know it's fake but you'll see how it turns out..... I'm so very lost.

I did buy a clasp several weeks ago and it was a dud, which I believe I posted. I did think it was legit, that’s why I’m running this one by.
