Is this a gen Panerai strap?

[Boosted]

Hey guys, I recently picked up this strap off Ebay, and am having some doubts on its authenticity. Can you confirm if this is gen for me, and if it's not, some of the problems so that I can have a solid case w/ ebay/paypal.

I'm no expert and don't know if there are varitions over time, but when comparing to the gen straps that I've seen the problems here are:

1. missing logo on back side (see green circle)
2. Crooked stitching (see arrow)
3. There is not a recessed ridge by the perimeter of the strap (near the stitching)

Thanks guys!

Most important tell is the leather, it is a calf with embossed grain, to can see clearly paint filling up the lines...after that, you don't need to concern yourself with logos, missing stitches etc...it is crococalf that TDs peddle at $40 a pop branded and one can have can't ate thing for $15 on the bay unbranded so send it back where it come from and claim full refund. Ebay recently is infested with fake straps selling for astronomical amounts, so I buy my stuff from the boutique directly.
