Broken original type one band vs replacement. Legit?

[HDSledge]

Great pics everyone. The replacement band I have is looking less and less like a bonafide part. Also looks like my search for a genuine type one unmarked band may be a long one.

I thought that it may be helpful to this discussion to post a few example pictures to illustrate what a laser cut edge looks like. The best way to understand how the laser cutting works is to think of the laser beam as a miniature yet very powerful gas cutting torch controlled by a computer. You will see from my pictures the tiny lines running at tangents to the edge of the metal caused by the laser beam as it moves along the metal. Occasionally "Fakers" may try to remove these marks by grinding/linishing off but more often than not they seem to be left on, for the World to see.

I'm thinking a WTB here might get you one way sooner than you might think...

I think I posted one but I will check and if not will do that. Thanks!!

ps. I posted on Dec 1 but have no replies. Don't know of a way to bump it.

btw I do have a legit band with an upside down U stamp but need the unmarked one. Will trade.

Maybe someone following this thread can fix me up. ?
