Heuer buckle from the sixties

hansaboy · Oct 28, 2023

Hi Forum People!
I have finally found my Heuer Carrera, and the strap is in need for a nice buckle.
It should be 16 mm internal.

Looking forward to your suggestions, and have a lovely weekend!

Cheers!

I only have 1 so can’t sell mine Hans but be careful as there are fakes around.

Yepp, aware of the fake ones…and there are a lot!
I could use the one you have as a reference maybe?

BTW these are known as 'sun buckles' because of the sun-like stamping on the underside.

New, genuine ones are 'B buckles' because of similar.

Aahaa!

So the older/vintage ones should look like this??
