Hi, i am Fong, new to tis forum. own 2 omega, the seamaster 300 ref 166.024 and speedmaster broad arrow 3594.50 Been reading up, and now hands getting itchy and wanna put on some leather on my broad arrow, can advise on where to get a 18mm ss omega buckle beside ofrei.com Most on ebay r fakes... Tinking of a brown croc leather to pair with. Hope it turn out well. But rather difficult to get hold of a original buckle Thank you for taking your time to read tis. Cheers
Nowadays, almost impossible. Ofrei and CousinsUK are good for modern replacements only. Otherwise, you're stuck with eBay. Hint, gold plated vintage Omega buckles should not say "acier inox" on the back. They should say "plaque or" or "plaque G" on the back. For steel buckles, there should always be a space between the two words. That should knock out about half of the fakes. Hope this helps, gatorcpa
try this https://www.watchobsession.co.uk/co...ap-buckle-in-polished-steel?variant=879555701 or you can always ask a local AD to order one
Thank you very much for the advice. Appreciate your help. May have to settle for a replica for the time being n carry on searching for the original. Thank you very much guys.
May i ask, for my broad arrow speedy 3594.50 This watch is manual winding, i notice every time i wind it, the crown will wind back slightly. Is it a safety feature? Thanl you for the advice
