Deployant buckle for Galactic A13364

[guarda]

Is there anyone who makes a 1:1 copy of the buckle on this? I owned the gen and miss the buckle, not the watch. The ones I've seen have a very shallow hallmark. Thanks for any insight.

You might want to be more specific ie picture, part number? Might help

Of course!

I ordered two from ali and both were inferior, not even close to gen.

Depending on what size it is, 20mm is easy to find in both gena nd rep but the 18mm is a unicorn. I had a gen one for the top time years ago.

I have bought from this seller a while back and it was on par with my gen

Silver ones only, they can’t get the black close to the blacksteel

Here is a titanium version. There is also a black steel version.

I have the gen black steel one, expensive but well worth it.

Also the the ss polished one gen is great, the rep is good but if you have them both you just know.

I had a brushed one on my gen Galactic and until this day I haven't found a more satisfying click and just overall feel of solidness. I picked up an Emergency and will put a rubber strap and one day if I can find a titanium buckle for a reasonable price (reasonable for me), I'll get one.

I was at the Breitling store here in midtown Manhattan last week and saw a new buckle that was really nice but still not as solid feeling as this older style.

You can try AliExpress, rep breitling deployment buckles are almost same as the Gen ones

Yes, I tried 2 sub $25 examples from Ali and both felt about half the weight as my gen and both had spaces when closed. Went for a $90 one with free returns so let's see. If that fails I'll fork over the ~300 for a gen buckle. Maybe treat myself and get the titanium one since the watch is titanium.
