Vintage Longines "Taybrite" Buckle: Real or Fake?

bardamu · Mar 16, 2026

Hi guys,
looking for vintage Longines buckles from the 50s, I sometimes bumped into specimens like this one pictured, with "taybrite" on the back, where I would expect "staybrite".
Otherwise buckle looks fine and original to me...what do you think?
Thanks!

Taybrite is a high-quality, economical and versatile smokeless solid fuel, ideal for multi-fuel stoves, boilers and open fireplaces. 🤔

I'm 50% sure this is original. And 50% sure it's fake.

Not sure this can help though... 😂

I didn't buy it anyway, I trusted the "50% fake" party 😁
