Is there a source for rep branded buckles?

[pfdamion876]

I'm looking for a 26mm PVD or ceramic bucke. Is there a source for Panerai branded buckles? Everything on eBay is unbranded or gen (supposedly).

did you already asked any of the TDs?

 

[pfdamion876]

I've asked TDs for small parts before and I never get a response. I don't think most want to bother with small parts.

AE? btw sometimes you see rep buckles on the bay

99% on ebay are rep buckles, LOL.
He's after a standard branded PVD coated 26mm wich is a little bit more complicated to find.
OP, btw I've seen 26mm PVD ones with the embossed SLC torpedo, may be you are interested.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I was hoping to find one with the Panerai logo but I think I'll have to settle for an unbranded one.

Keep in mind that rep buckles are quite crappy. Sharp edges trashing both the strap and wrist. I would source a buckle from an aftermarket strapmaker.

Thanks for the link! At that price it's worth trying. Will post updates when I receive it.

Great buckles in their own right - I use them for gens and reps:

The polished silver is shiny, the brushed silver is not

Exactly. Unless you want to shell out for an OEM buckle, folks like Strap Culture, Simona, and Kain Heritage have great buckles at reasonable prices, albeit not Panerai branded. If you want to go cheaper, Crown & Buckle, Panatime and Stone Creek are decent options as well.

After you wear a distinctive buckle, its tough to go back to the OEM -- especially if you have thicker straps.

I came across these logo buckles on ebay, look quite interesting but just wonder about quality. Has anyone purchased a PVD buckle like this, is the coating durable?
