About Omega buckles

Hello Forums! I was a long time lurker but decided to create an account to ask you a question. I've recently acquired two buckles that should be produced before 2000 and sold on German market. Guy who sold them to me is 100% sure they are genuine, but I have some doubts as they have no markings at all. There are also some part numbers on the stickers but I'm not sure they are even related to the correct part. Could you please give me some hints based on the photos if those are genuine Omega buckles?

First one is 18mm:




And the second one 16 mm width:

Hi. Just wanted to see what the experts think. Was looking at this buckle ( gold filled ) 16 mm for my recently purchased Connie Ref. 168.005/6 gold case. Look legit? Marking look correct for AW and in the right direction.

Legit AW
(Sort of) straight side profile
Direction of markings and AW logo
Nice one I think less common than other makers.

I will. Thanks. I guess it doesn’t say 750 on it so it can’t be solid gold. Gold plated? With stainless?

Plaque G means gold plated. Gold over steel

Hi experts! I recently got a 2627 cal 353 for cheap, and the buckle it has is called 'Special EK' on the main posts of this thread. I'm guessing that's not the original buckle model that the watch had, so I'm wondering if you could point me to the correct one. Judging by the squared date window and the serial on the movement, it is one of the earlier models from 1952 or 1953, if that helps to narrow down the possibilities.

The current buckle is ok and functional, but I'm just curious about it, and I might track down another one in the future in case I want the watch to be more period-correct. Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Back again with a vintage looking buckle. Would no markings at all mean fake no matter what ? I feel like anything is possible with omega buckles here..

Have a nice day !
