Do Maratac ZULU bands always have a logo on the buckle?

[GShockMe]

Sorry, off G-shock topic here but I see many folks use the ZULU straps on their G's. I may get the answer faster here than from the strap forum.

I got two ZULU bands that were claimed to be Maratac. I don't see the logo on the buckle like other Maratac bands that I have. But the quality of these bands is on par with the real one. I wonder if the logo is always stamped on the band buckle? Here are the description of the bands:
1. Maratac Zulu® tactical military watch band 22 mm. olive green, 5 ring black buckles.
2. Maratac Zulu® tactical military watch band 23 mm. beige color. It is a two piece band with 3 silver rings.

Thanks in advance,

I have three Maratacs 22mm one-piece in black, foliage and desert. Only the black one has a logo, the other two do not.

I only have a black ZULU and it does. Also have a black/grey bond style NATO which also has it.

Thanks for the replies. Feel better now. I think mine are authentic.

I have three, and only one has the logo.

I have at least ten and they only had a paper tag with the name on them. The Natos all have the logo etched on the buckle.

All Maratac say Maratac. Some fakes even say Maratac, but The ratio of Maratac to knock-offs out there is 10 to 1; however, if the quality is the same, who cares? That's the thing. If you are looking at super-stiff nylon (or thin on the other extreme), burnt nylon resion-ringed, points which are hot-pressed/glued as opposed to stiched, and if your rings + buckles are not rounded stainless steel, but stamped out tinhorn metal you've got a fake. Whether it says Maratac or not. I've seen poor fakes which are stamped Maratac, it's not a surface-altering etching, their embossment. So, not hard to fake and allows merchants to charge 75% more. There is one big/respected site out there who is ripping people off. I won't mention the name right now as I have two bands which are in transit back to him and I am waiting to see how it is handled, but keep your ears open. You should not be paying more than $17 for a Maratac, btw.

Got a Nato and a Zulu (ACU Nato with low light hardware, black Zulu with silver brushed hardware) with etched Logo and a 20 mm 2 piece with only the Papertag.
