These are being sold on eBay in both stainless steel and gold tone. Packaging appears to be genuine Omega, but there are so many good fakes around anymore, it's hard to tell. What say you, OF buckle experts - real or fake?

I don’t have an answer to this but for some piece of mind, have you called you local OB or the phone number on this thread:

I have ordered buckles and bracelets from my local OB and had free 2-day delivery.

I haven't as of yet, but thanks for the suggestion.

That looks ok to me. You used be able to pick those up from Cousins for less than £20 but these days they fetch double that in sensible sizes like 16-18mm

I also don't have an answer but I noticed on Omegas official website if you select a watch strap the charge $50 for a stainless steel buckle. Switch it to yellow gold and it skyrockets to $630 😲

Is this the going rate for these?!

Looks fine to me. I've ordered plenty of these. Note that this is a gold plated buckle, not solid gold.

Try ordering a gold deployant clasp €2770 compared to the SS €250.
