    Hello!

    For a while back i bought a Seamaster De Ville from a collector. He assured me that both the strap and buckle were genuine vintage Omega.

    I afterwards sold the buckle and strap, but the buyer now claims that both the buckle and strap is fake.

    I have read the sticky about buckles, and i think the buckle and strap looks genuine, but as i am by no means an expert, i would like to hear from someone who is :)

    What is your take on the matter? If it indeed turns out to be fake, i will of course cancel the deal and pay the buyer his money back.

    Thanks in advance! :)

    It is legit, authentic and genuine.
    Here is my wife's NOS De Ville. You can use the pics to prove your case.

    Thanks for your answer, both of you!

    The buyer is quite convinced that they are fakes, so more inputs would be appreciated! :)

    Likely case of buyer's remorse as opposed to genuine concern about authenticity.

    That was my thought as well. But since I am not an expert on Omega buckles and straps, even though I have owned quite a few, I wanted to get the matter sorted out by the experts on this board :)

    Thanks again for your input! :)
    I guess it's case closed, then?
