Cal 750. The leather strap I have on it isn't original, the watch came with a gold plated bracelet.

 

I would get a 19/16mm strap. Let's start a new thread

 

I just impulse bought this buckle https://m.ebay.com/itm/omega-buckle-18mm-/302801917807?txnId=1530779585020Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

is it legit?

 

comes to $60 with tax and shipping, unfortunately. I'm debating on whether or not I should try and cancel that order on eBay now.

EDIT: The nearest OB is extremely far, so I'm unable to get to one

 

keep the order, use your buckle, forget the price

 

Can you please help me with this one ?
Thank you !

 

That looks like a "transitional" B-signed buckle no?

 

No clue,i don't know much about buckles
Thank you very much!

 

I also didn't know a thing until I read the post on the first page. Have a look! You won't regret.

 

I did,i saw some some similar ones but i will let an expert decide.

 

Found this one on C24 ... suspicious - even more at that price for an 18mm.

Totally fake. The "molten" Ω and "ACIERINOX" instead of ACIER INOX give it away.

 

finally got a gold buckle for my 1970 seamaster. Now I'm waiting for an 19/16mm Italian strap to arrive to complete the watch.

it's a gold filled US buckle from around 1950ish? Not too sure on the date. Everything looks legit, so I believe it's an authentic buckle.
p.s sorry for the bad picture quality, my phone sucks!

 

Where have you ordered your Italian strap? I am currently looking for a special one which should refine my new Speedy.

 

it's not a high end leather strap but i've heard great things about dassari straps so i figured i'd try it out. here's the link to it: https://www.amazon.com/DASSARI-Hand...1533671940&sr=8-14&ref=mp_s_a_1_14&th=1&psc=1

 

Thanks a lot ... my current favorites are here:

Not really cheap but beautiful models and seems to be good quality.

 

I happened to put these side by side together so I thought I'd share. The one on the left is a very common ebay fake.

 

Today I had the chance to put side by side the vintage buckle and the recent vintage styled buckles made by omega. The strap on the right is from a 60th speedy. Just thought I'd share because I haven't seen a side by side pic somewhere.
The modern omega lookalike is not bad (better than the ebay one for sure!!!) but is a bit fatter at the top and less sharp.
