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.
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 don't know the name of the MG company, only that they were one of several makers of vintage Omega buckles with the original stamped MG logo, and later using the radiant star logo. I have no idea if they made bracelet clasps for other makers, I have not seen the sun logo on Omega clasps, maybe others have. There are lots of counterfeit buckles with fake logos. If they are laser etched they are fake, as the original buckles were stamped.
As the clasp is early 70's it would be possible it is same MG, but who knows. Could also be fake.
I could also have simply said I have no idea.......
