Hello to all...

...two weeks ago I bought a new Hermes belt with brushed silver buckle
and togo black/gold belt. I got the new version of leather belt from 2017.
The new belts since 2017 have no more straight end. Price 600 EURO.

The rep Belt come form a trusted dealer (one year ago).
Bought also the silver brushed buckle with togo black/black belt.
I have paid for this 215 USD + 75 USD triangle shipping.

Who does not want to spend so much money for a gen Hermès Belt
is very well served with a good replica belt.

The leather of the original is much softer and better of the quality.
The processing of the buckle is more accurate and more even.

The biggest difference is that the gen buckle is more bent as the rep buckle.
But you can only recognize both when you hold it in your hand.
You have to look closely. In normal wear, you never see a difference.

Cheers

Rep bag is more orange and the gen texture is more like leather.




also the Rep box is more orange and the gen texture is more like leather.




also the Rep box is more orange and the gen texture is more like leather.




Different height of the boxes.




The ribbons are different. Original are embossed. The ribbon on rep just printed.




On the gen invoice mag the logo is embossed and not printed. The rep printed and more beige not white.




The original belt comes with no card.







The original box is darker and finer worked. Rep is more cheaper worked.




The original box is darker and finer worked. Rep is more cheaper worked.




The gen buckle dust bag is in very good quality. Rep dust bag is very cheap.




The original buckle is finer and the edges are more even.







The gen buckle looks at the bag more shiny like metalic.




The original is only engraved hermes.




The biggest difference is that the gen buckle is more bent as the rep buckle. Both buckles have the same weight.




Since 2017 the belts have no more straight end. Bothe sides have the same cut.

Excellent pics and comparison. I also have this belt and the rep is just as good as the gen.

Now if we were talking about LV then I would say the Gen. is necessary bc there is no rep that can reproduce the texture and quality of the leather and stitching.
