Hi all, new omega collector here.
I have a modern speedmaster on Leather strap and was wondering if this buckle is 16mm and authentic omega stainless steel buckle.

The seller claims it is 100% original, and i'm unsure of how to verify this.

I appreciate all your kind inputs.

cheers.

It´s a 70ies Omega buckle. Myself I´ve never seen a faked one. They are common, and not especially valuable, so I don´t think that anyone should bother faking them. Don´t know if they are in both 14 and 16 mm. You should ask for measurement to be sure, for the one now in question

Thank you for your kind input. i checked with the seller, the width is 16mm.
Found the thread on buckles and having a good read now.
Were these buckles produced in large amounts?

Also how much would be a fair price for a buckle like this?

I’ve seen fakes (not this model) sell for $50 on eBay 😵‍💫

Yes they do. I have seen lots of them having same markings in 14k gold plated, too.

Obviously there are false buckles in the wild. At least one of these seems not to be legit, guess which is the correct one !! 😀

Hi all,
I sort of asking the same down under, besides, I don't know the right answer. Anyone who knows? Fake or legit? 😀

Probably not fake. Omega symbol too sharp. If it is, it’s a good one and I would wear it!

I vote for fake but check the expert.
