·D DoodHello,
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 !
Tom
Yours looks quite similar but not signed. I think legit see if others agree

··I'll Take a Quiet LifeHere is a UG buckle with similar sourcing as the Omega buckles of the 1960’s. Since AW are rarer, i might be picking this one up for a Polerouter. I know it’s UG, but there isn’t a great thread about those buckles and I wonder if anyone knows about these ( since same sourcing and AW sourcing as Omega). Looks too new to be true.

·First off, wow, what a great resource. Thank you for sharing this with the internet for folks like me who love researching this kinda thing down to the smallest bit..or buckle.
I’ll disclaimer that I only read the first 5 pages, so maybe it’s discussed after. The straight buckles are AW, but I can’t seem to find the mention of straight or oblong for the MG ones? Mine is original and I know it is from a 1954 reference 2767 due to it still being in the original box and on the original strap. I can’t seem to firmly match it to any of your pictures however just from fine details!
Without a marking for AW or MG it has me for a loop, but was thinking old AW until in another commenters post early on he guessed and you confirmed it to be an AW, and the omega symbol end of the buckle visibly forms a point in the middle and slopes to the outsides from a top view. Mine is completely straight angular. Also it seems a little wider but maybe that’s because it’s an 18mm so they increase the other dimensions as well proportionately? I’ve attached some pics, apologies for the lack of quality but I have tried my best to capture the same angles from your original posting. Also, you mention the 18mm being like finding a needle in a haystack, why is that? Less produced with it or just people hang onto them or what? This is 18mm.
Thanks so much for putting in the effort for others to benefit from!!

·Measurement is the inside not the outside. Are you sure the inside measurement is 18?
Focused closeup photos of front back and sides would help. Looks like legit AW but better pictures needed.

Hey hopefully these pics will be better for you to be able to classify it from.
I’m going with “older style AW”, by the front lips edge being a straight line and not sloping to the corners, and the omega symbols mass.
Did I get it right now?!

·Pictures too fuzzy for me. Can you take better focused shots front back and sides after removing from buckle? Springbars can help w authenticity
