I don't recall seeing that Ebay seller before (I probably have but forgot), the part is very likely legit OEM. Compare to here, which is for sure selling OEM parts https://www.amayama.com/en/part/toyota/8391030622
@gs350noob - I think that is a legit clock. I really cannot imagine anyone making a counterfeit replacement clock with such a very limited demand for it. It's not like replacement Gillette razor blades, jewelry, Rolex watches or Apple chargers or power adapters.
Honestly if your going to take the time to replace the clock yourself, you can just as easily repair it, just need to take it apart and a dap of super glue. I fixed my clock.
As others mentioned, those are legit. I thought about buying it from the UAE seller but decided to go with mylparts.com and used promo code CL5 to get 10% off. I didn't want to wait the extended shipping time and preferred to get from a local dealer in case I had any issues. If you get it from overseas, you're likely saving ~$75.

This is what it looked like for me:
I ordered from Amayama from Japan location and received within a week. I think they used DHL, it was fast.
Literally a single drop of krazy glue is the fix, lol.
You would think that the Lexus/Toyota engineers and design people would have foreseen the likelihood of the clock's drive shaft breaking loose from the drive magnet and made sure the bonded connection was permanent.
Many things the Lexus/Toyota engineers and design people do is very much NASA-like, but for some reason they overlooked this essential segment with the analog dash clock. Permanently bonding to a magnet's ferrite material is no doubt the issue and clearly problematic, but they needed a better bond that withstands heat, shock/vibration and longevity. What bonding agent would NASA have used?

They probably used something like elmers glue instead of super glue.
