·A follow up from my previous posts. I ended up winning the auction and I received the buckle today. I'd like to get some thoughts from other members if possible.
Observation 1: the buckle is noticeably heavier than any of my other steel buckles, which I would like to think is a good sign.
Observation 2: the tongue does not have any hallmarks, the only hallmarks are on the buckle itself. Could this be a sign it's not genuine?
Observation 3: the listing stated that it was 18k yellow gold, but when I place the buckle near my 18k connie, the buckle seems to be much darker/ redder in color. Assuming the buckle is genuine, could it be the seller mistook a rose gold buckle for a yellow gold one?
Here are some pictures I took:

·I've found that buckles seem to rarely match watch cases perfectly. I've had more that didn't than did.
The tongue is shaped right for Omega.

·Hi guys,
And thanks for the interesting thread.
what do u think about these buckle?
I bought cheaply them in a vintage eBay shop mainly for their design, but now I m so curious.
I read many post and I see That the mark could be EK, but in RG version there is not plated sign.
Are they original in your opinion?

·It was possibly plated after sale. I don't think it would necessarily be marked, if so.

··ΩF InvestiGatorThere’s no indication of Acier Inox (stainless steel) either. It is possible they are real vintage buckles. It is also possible they are fakes.
I would need to see others of the same style to say more.

··ΩF InvestiGatorLooks good to me. It is possible that it has been replated or polished at one point.
