That one's bad...

Lah

Looks OK to me. Based on all the variations posted in this thread, if someone can pick this one out as bad, you must have supernatural powers. For those that think this one is bad, please back that assumption up with some form of reasonable proof.... Anything. and please don't tell us it looks totally different than the other examples posted.

Peter, I know it is frustrating at times, but Forum Rules do not require anyone who gives an opinion to state exactly why they feel an item is bad. And many times my opinions are with the old GUT and I cannot explain them. And there is always the other motivation for not giving Fakers any more details than necessary. After all they watch this Forum closely.

Thanks for the word on this matter Strange. I copied it and will save it under the file name: "Escape Mechanism / Clause"
Best Regards and Happy Holidays, Peter

I said "bad" because this band material has a certain identifiable pattern where the checkering meets the alu stripes- a sort of "hounds tooth" that repeats along this border. This is a characteristic of some very high quality copies one sees from time to time...

Sergey , in this case the cufftitle itself looks original but I don't like the embroidery (design), it (almost) looks like it's from the same hand as the first one you posted.

Hi ,
I have no real expertese on cufftitles i only have the one vet obtained,but the first one looks awfully new imo.

[Hardigan]

Here they are :

I found exactly the same fake one also of the same seller (see background) which comes from the same hand and the third one looks like exactly the same embroidery but now on a original cufftitle. Scary business !

Arran hit the nail on the head.
That's why both titles posted by Sergey are bad, there are countless variations in embroidery but there is no need in studying the embroidery when the band itself can be easily identified as being bad.

Ruthman

Yes, the Pakistan website "Ruthman" offers all sorts of things, many not believable and then pictures of real things interspersed. This pictures seem to be "borrowed" from American Dealer websites and various "Forums"

I agree!

The Band is bad?

Who stepped up to deam the band as bad and on what basis? I see the irregularity along the edge and have been aware of it for some time. Aside from that, the band looks and feels like a classic RZM style. Sounds to me like a "group think" situation is going on here.
