·Much of my knowledge also comes from opening and inspecting more fakes than I care to admit…..

·According to this post: https://omegaforums.net/threads/about-omega-buckles.37347/#post-427698, shouldn't the sun be the MG symbol (second edition)? I plan to use one of them for my 1960s C-case Connie. What kind of strap are you using with the wide pin? My usual straps all have narrow holes, so I might rather use the small-pin buckle.
A late reply but, a strap from my favourite strap place, cns straps
To be honest I’d rather use a thin buckle since this is my only wide buckle, and I was keeping it in my collection, but these large holes are annoying

·The 18k buckles are rare and seem to fetch some hefty prices, here is one sold at an auction house this week.
Around 500EUR including commission, 14mm wide:

Indeed hefty, but imo worth it due to its rarity. As you know from our domestic site Klocksnack.se I was the buyer.
Hallmarked with swedish three crowns on the side of the buckle. 14mm AW 18k

·Good morning or wherever you are OF
Hope you are doing good.
Yesterday i came across an omega buckle.
I own a 2782 in 18k and wanted to have a 18k buckle for it.
I read part of the thread here…but id still be happy about a few opinions.
The dealer is asking CHF 250 for it.
Thanks in advance and have a nice day😀

·Hard to photograph gold
I'll comment on the 750 - I've seen the only 750 and the only 18K mark, enough times that at this point I assume they are likely genuine, but as a buyer I've never bid when only these singular hallmarks are present, I always assumed they could be reproductions. For example there are still solid gold bracelet makers that use the Omega logo - this is my .02
It's probably why the price is affordable too, in auctions I almost always bid on solid gold buckles, but never won, they usually far exceed 200's and the lower bound is 300 ish when it's an attractive buckle
