Hi Guys!

Found this nice Post, and I am thinking of "pimpin" up my straps!
And I found this one, but it looks "to new"?
And the etching on the backside...?

What do you Gurus think?

Look at the Omega logo. It’s low quality, like a curved blob, no refinement or facets to it. Then look at the one further up and notice it is nice and sharp with a live key facet running along it.

Thanks, the one you showed looks like mine, and also 14 mm.

Cheers!

I’ve noticed fake buckles trying to copy the MG style have a flat rectangular box at the bottom outside the MG, whereas the correct ones have a V shaped bottom
Also the SWISS letter fonts should have flat S not rounded. Note the difference. And they are stamped not etched.

Nice info - thanks @SOG53 😀

I’m not so sure that the one shown above is a real buckle either:

1. “Acier Inox” is two words, not one. There should be a space there.

2. The “Swiss” font does not look correct.

See the example in this post and compare.

I think 90%+ of buckles on eBay are modern replicas.

I see your point. This one is better




And this one is my worst fake must’ve been deep into the scotch that night….

Hi Guys!

The buckle landed, and it looked a bit strange??

What do you think?
The pieces look a bit off and crooked??🙁

Thinking that I might send it back??
