I have a mess of vintage 16mm stainless steel buckles for sale. My understanding is that these buckles were sold on Omega straps for all sorts of watches (connies, Seamasters, etc.). Unlike most of the buckles on eBay, these buckles are 100% authentic, not some cheap (some people are paying $50 for fakes ), unattractive counterfeits. You can find these buckles in the first post in this phenomenal thread on early omega buckles. https://omegaforums.net/threads/about-omega-buckles.37347/ You may be curious why I have so many buckles - long story short, the best laid plans of mice and men... Last year a good friend of mine decided he was going to make some custom leather straps. I told him I would help source some buckles and decided if I could find vintage Omega buckles that’d be even better. I ended up buying too many buckles compared to the straps he made... because he never made any So I bought myself some straps to wear the buckles on for my own watches. I’ve outfitted a lot of straps for my own collection but still had some buckles left, so I bought a few of my favorite straps to sell the extra buckles on. Price is $100 per buckle & strap - PayPal F&F - free shipping in the USA (but can ship globally) - plenty of forum feedback buying/selling/trading. Two Stitch Black - 18/16mm black leather strap with white/cream stitching and a basic spring bars included. Black - 18/16mm black vintage strap with black stitching and quick release spring bars.

If you missed it above, lost in the long boring story: $100 paypal F&F buckle/strap combination with free shipping in the USA (can ship worldwide)
Do you offer the buckles alone? The straps aren’t really appropriate for the 1958 Seamaster Calibre 503 for which the buckle is intended. Thank you.
Several of these have made it off to new owners across the globe - and I still have several left on straps
Yes, you messaged me a few weeks back. We chatted for a bit and I told you what I would sell just the buckle for. Your response was that you wanted to spend less for a vintage one than you were quoted for a new one, so you said thanks anyway. I said, not a problem
No problem. I have been selling single buckles for $90. Although the straps are nice, I bought them in bulk so they weren’t very expensive
