    Hi, I have decided I would like a 16mm buckle for my 131.5016 and having read the sticky buckle thread, I have found this one which sort of looks like a genuine buckle to me. Would appreciate other members views. Thanks.

    IMO, a fake.

    The Omega symbol is not distinct and doesn't look straight.

    The lettering on the back doesn't match what I've seen on genuine buckles either.

    Not loving it.
