·Stu, there's strict rules on the site about posting for sale/want to buy ads. You can read the rules in the stickies at the top of the FS and WTB fora. That said, when it comes to buckles, eBay is often your best bet. Feel free to start a thread in the general discussion area with images of buckles you've found and someone will be able to help with what are correct and what are fakes/reproductions.
Welcome to the Forum.
Great thank you for the reply i hope i didnt break any rules! i was not really looking for someone to sell me a buckle but more information on what would be the correct buckle for the omega i have
Thanks for the welcome 😀

@Stu53 Get one like these. I guess you have an 18/16mm strap, but Cousins UK sell 18/14mm straps if you find a 14mm buckle.

·First of all, a big thank you to OP for this informative thread. I was actually looking for Omega buckles to go with a vintage Omega Geneve I purchased in 2014, but was unsure of how to check for the authenticity of some of the offerings on eBay.
Would appreciate it if anyone could help me check the following links!
1. https://www.ebay.com/itm/OMEGA-Orig...374957&hash=item3f9cf6d5b5:g:8FsAAOSwqDha~AfL
2. https://www.ebay.com/itm/OMEGA-Gold...116934?hash=item26045f6146:g:uqEAAOSw44BYXZCC
3. https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-AUTHEN...896351?hash=item3d72da071f:g:b3IAAOSwsj5bkHAT
Also, saw a few Omega buckles on the eBay seller, Watchadoo's page. Are his Omega buckles legit? Seen his name mentioned around here.
Thanks for any input!

·Wow. Thank you OP and the other contributors to this thread. My 168.017 C Constellation came in today- and although I suspected I had an equally vintage band, the Omega service center didn’t vouch for the the 19/16mm leather band /tang-pin....just the rest of the watch. So when the watch arrived, and after reading this thread ( albeit post purchase) it looks like I got lucky anyway and have an original ...

Thanks for the help! Appreciate it. Now I'm just wondering if watchadoo's legit. The reverse side of the Omega buckle only has the words "Stainless Steel" on it. Here are some pictures of it.

·Fake. Should read "Plaque" or nothing.
Gotcha. Shortens my list. Thank you good sir.

Incorrect. Identical to the buckle in original packaging a couple of posts previous.

·I am most familiar with vintage buckles, but why would a gold-plated buckle read "STAINLESS STEEL"?

·The missing link or buckle.
MG. has had two different markings or signature.
First this one
Then later this one
I discovered it thanks to these buckles, old style buckles identical to the others bearing the new marking.
Another interesting buckle is this one which is transitional between the old style and the modern style. It has the same body but a different Omega symbol which announces the modern one we all know.
Pics of a modern style MG. Buckles:
2 identical MG. buckles, one is signed the second is not, but both are genuine.
Thank you 👍 @omegastar

·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.
On the right, or on the left?
