··I don't see any option in settings or profileWhat do you call this type of buckle in english (or french for that matter)?
Advantage: you flip the non-buckle strap end under the buckle, giving a clean look.
Disadvantage: requires a shorter strap with no tongue slit in the buckle end. EDIT: Am I right to assume that straps made for deployant straps will work?

·Helpful topic!
Don’t want open new, but if not fixing issue I can...
My question is?
For Omega Constellation 564 168018 grades of finishing Deluxe. What stripe I have to use? Stripe size is 19 but size buckle... Stainless steel, Gold plate or Gold
I not found catalogues online From this time This is very strange
Please answer me correct!
I can buy stripe from Omega but is not of the time This don’t have senses!

·I did not understand everything but I will try to answer...
On a vintage watch with 19mm lug width, the buckle size should be 16mm or 14mm. You'll not find the exact info about the buckle size on a catalog, even tody they do not advert it... The only chance you have is to find someone that was in the business 50 years ago, and who remember which buckle size it cames with.
The smaller the watch is (and the bigger the wrist is), the bigger the taper should be. So: if you have a small wrist, 16mm will do. If you have a medium to big wrist, given the watch is 35mm, i think a 14mm buckle would look better (the watch will look bigger)
The material (steel, gold plated, solid gold) should be the same than the watch case.

·Just stumbled across this pic and I thought it would be good to share....
This is the steel buckle Omega is selling and using lately for the vintage reissues. I do not know if they come in gold (I don't think so?) but you can find a plater. Guaranteed original and looks period.
Better than a lot of fakes you find online!
I bought this (no I don't recall how much) and the 16mm marking is from my watchmaker.

·Thank you omegastar for your incredible research and input!
I was offered this by a dealer in the same south american portal where I bought a couple of watches recently. They are also being offered for a very low price, and that is also why it caught my attention.
The "sun" marking and the word "Plaque G." match with the original post of this thread. The pattern inside the Omega symbol also tells me it might be genuine and resembles very very strongly the same kind of buckle from the OP. I don't know if it looks too new or not.
What do you guys think? Apologies for the poor fotos and thanks in advance.

·Curious to hear thoughts on this. The spring bar looks good, and the logo as well, to my eye, but the engraving, both the spacing of INOX and the sun stamp seem off...

Brand new to the forums, and to watches in general. Fallen in love with Connies (I’ll post up some pics of mine in the vintage Connie thread).
This is such an amazing thread, thank you omegastar!!
Just seen this on eBay and wondered what you all thought. No signature...surely not genuine?

··schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectorYou can buy a nice strap with a 18k omega buckle from Omega Boutiques still. Not vintage but they still look similar and are guaranteed authentic not like the eBay minefield.
