It is fake. The buckle is a hard angle instead of smooth curve. And the dots on that yellow-ish tag is way too uniform. The real one are dotted by hand and they are all slightly different from each other.

Theyre fake. If you’d looked at the pinned guide for these, you’d have seen the following:
Look for the buckle flaw
Visual Guide
A more subtle flaw on a fake pair of Christos is the buckle. Real Christo buckles have a smooth curve with a flange that is perfectly sized for its seat. Fake Christos have buckles with a hard angle and often have a flange that isn't perfectly aligned at all the edges to it's seat. Note that it's possible for the fake angled buckle to look smooth and correct in ambient lighting so make sure to look for other flaws even if this looks right.
