A question for the buckles pundits: would appreciate your thoughts on what stainless steel buckle(s) would be most appropriate for a mid 1960’s Speedometer. Many thanks.
Bob, here are some nice ones!

The black one attached to the 66 with the botched bezel was from the beginning (according to the first owner..).
The one on the 66 CB is a newer one (addon)

Sorry for the crapy pictures - no sun right now here...

Hello everyone,

I bought 2 buckles from a dealer who has a very good reputation in the German „Uhrforum“. The buckles come from a watchmaker's estate, said the dealer.

My assessment: I don't like the spring bar on either of them. Both have "Acier Inox" written on them without a gap. I don't like the logo on the stainless steel one. On the gold-plated one, the lettering seems to be lasered.

So I think they are fakes. But as the dealer has a good reputation, I want to be sure - what do you think?

Thank you, Andreas

I came up with similar buckle included with a watch I recently bought. It was not especially mentioned so I did not mind but had a feeling it might not be original.

I have seen the first one a few times on different occasions advertised as originals but the text does not look as clear as on other samples from confirmed original buckles.

All 3 of these are fake. You identified the issues.
