Is this an authentic Speedmaster Band?

    Just received this in the mail from an eBay purchase. Got a really good deal, almost too good to be true. I paid $35 USD for it and it makes me believe it is fake. Can anyone help me determine the authenticity? Any help is appreciated.

    I have never seen this clasp design... ::popcorn:: well, you know how it often turns out when "if it sounds too good to be true..."

    Well, thanks for letting me down easy! At least it's only $35!

    Here's a little rule of thumb I find useful. eBay+unbelievably low price=fake. Now don't get me wrong, as with all rules, there are exceptions. But in the deep dark waters of the "bay" they are really really few and far between.

    At $35 and considering it's just a bracelet, I think it'll provide enough satisfaction on the wrist as-is. Just make sure there are no quality issues that might cause it to break, and your watch to fall off your wrist...
