Nope, look closely at the buckle it has "Riptide" printed on it. Judging from the text, this is the same company that sells the Eagle Z1 bc, basically a Zeagle want to be. They like to trash Zeagle products, claiming they are much better, same thing here.

I think it was a rhetorical question guys

Another de-engineering solution to an immaginary problem.
I've sold THOUSANDS of the OEM tank band clamp buckles, and I have only seen 1 or 2 failures.

I just wanted to check...and raise this with Scott at Zeagle. It is being sold/represented as an official Zeagle product, which I believe is illegal?

It seems a bit ambiguous. The model of it says it is a MODEL: Eagle Z1 / Twin Wing cylinder buckle set.

It's advertised as an "upgrade" for a Zeagle Ranger. Seems like they're kinda skirting the line a bit to take advantage of the popularity of the Zeagle brand name in searches.

If it's illegal (which I doubt) then so are a lot of ads on eBay that also mention brand names

This is correct, and it isn't against eBays terms of service, as far as I know.

Honestly, the guy has probably recieved more views on his website and auction due to the postings here on ScubaBoard...so I guess DevonDiver is doing him a favor by posting his links.

You should ask for a kickback, if he actually sells anything.
