Tang Buckle

[Luvwatch]

Hey gentlemen, anyone have one of this buckles and willing to sell o knows where I could get one?

Seems like TD’s are not getting spare parts due to the raids at the moment.

Thanks

Try eBay, there are a lot of 20mm tang buckles for sale.

Here is an example of a 20mm buckle on eBay. There is the option of buying it with or without the brand logo.

Just bought one from AliExpress myself, with logo. Prefer it over the deploy. Not a trusted dealer though so use caution as usual.

Rafflesdials.com has buckles. But primarily for Rolex, Omega, and Breitling. Lots of other watch parts also. Just FYI.

Tang buckles wear more comfortably for most people compared with the deployant. That’s why the newer ROOs have all been fitted with them as opposed to the older deployants. Deployants tend to leave the signature “AP” imprint on the wrist. This has been said to be a deliberate attempt by AP to “brand” the owners but physically it’s not the most comfortable for most.

I have found that most of the aftermarket ones (eBay are the same as AliExpress) are poorly executed and when on the wrist do not close properly leaving the buckle at a weird angle - just my experience

If anyone found one that is good, lease share the seller

As always thanks for your input my friend. Unfortunately I couldn’t find a 20mm buckle with the AP logo in EBay or AliExpress

Lucky you! I couldn’t find a 20mm with logo

The link I sent you is for a 20mm buckle, and like I said there is an option to include the logo.
I practically sent you the link and all you had to do was to click on it, choose the option, and make the purchase. You can request the seller to supply a steel one for you. Write to him and try your luck, all the best!

Yes you did my friend and I’m grateful.

I must have been dropped hard in the head as a baby because I can’t find the “not golden”, stainless steel AP buckle in the seller’s store.

It does give the option to choose with or without the AP logo but only in golden.

I’ll keep looking. Thanks again mate

i bought from two ali sellers. one seller sent three 20mm unmarked even though I asked for engraving. the other seller sent 2 engraved 20mm buckles and one piece was longer (elongated). the engraving was done by someone in a rush.

the slop with the tongue, can't remember if i fitted thicker springbars

Saw some on Etsy, $28.89 with free shipping to the U.S. Ships from Hong Kong.

they only show blank buckles on the sales listing. odd my ali phone app shows more listings than through the browser.
here's an example: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003303637294.html

You’re such a nice guy dammit!
Thanks a lot.

I contacted a member that has offered me a JF one. Hopefully we’ll close

I found one too in my stock. If the other deal falls through let me know, we can talk more.
All the best!
