Default Replicas??? keyrings on ebay

This is my opinion but I have reasons to believe the CSL keyrings for sale on ebay are replicas??? being passed off as genuine.

1. These do not have original boxes
There are some detail differences to the real deal! Mainly

1. The carbon weave is in the wrong direction to the genuine on the main side. The weaves go in a general downward direction versus across.
2. The weave count is wrong for top right corner to top right corner of ///M3 CSL raised portion - this should be exactly 6 cross weaves.
3. The lettering appears to have a sand blasted finish which the genuine thing does not have.
4. The metal chain clasp is smaller than the genuine thing.
5. This detail in photo below gives it away in my opinion to show these are replicas - the top one is genuine




Top 3 genuine, last one replica??







The seller is on this forum, ask him if it is indeed genuine. I have my own opinions.
