    Hi I bought an Omega strap and the pickle appears to be solid platinum. It weighs 4.6g. Is it genuine or a fake? If genuine what model would it be for?
    Cheers

    According to my information, the Swiss standard mark for platinum is either e chamois (goat), or an ibex. Your buckle has what appears to me to be a St. Bernard dog. Maybe somebody knows.

    Found this online
    "But in some countries like Great Britain, the Netherlands, or Switzerland, the hallmark represents the head of a St. Bernard and a scale of 950 thousandths."
