    Yesterday I bought this old brown omega strap with omega buckle:

    What do you think; Is the strap an original omega strap or a fake; Also what about the buckle; Is it original too or fake;

    I think it's an original, don't you?

    My gut says they are both original(the strap and the buckle) but since I don’t have much knowledge about vintage omega straps and with the plethora of fake omega buckles I thought prudent to ask.

    Buckle looks genuine to me.

    I wouldn't put my house on it, but I'd say it's original.

    It certainly looks to me to be a good quality strap...

    IMO, strap is not Omega.

    Buckle could be original.

    Best I can do.

    Buckle is definitely genuine.
    Cant judge the strap.

    Thank you for your reply. I imagine the reason you believe it’s not an Omega strap is the text in the strap, right; At least that’s my concern about it. I certainly hope at least the buckle to be original...

    So far the consensus is that the buckle is original. That’s certainly encouraging, thank you for your reply.

    The buckle looks definitely original to me too. Is it 14mm internal width?

    I don't know Omega straps but I find it hard to believe that one of that obvious quality is a fake. And if it is, it's nice enough that it wouldn't matter to me. Looks like you have it on a nice Constellation too...

    Doesn't Omega usually stamp the lug with on the back of the strap?
