Need source for good quality PreV buckles....

[watchmaninpa]

Anyone care to share with me where to look for decent quality Pre v buckles 26mm ?

I need brushed stainless and Black PVD.
I ordered some online that looked good in the pic.... but when I got them... the quality was not too good.
So I thought i would ask here.
Any help would be most appreciated.

thanks

I would look to strap makers -- Simona, Strap Culture, Kain, etc. they aren't cheap ($30-50/each), but they are much better quality than the eBay examples.

yeah.... I noticed that. I found one that was $30 from a strap maker...and it was very nice but wow ! $30 is alot of money when you happen to need 6 or 7 of them. lol
I'm somewhat lazy and don't feel like messing with changing buckles if I decide at the last minute to change the strap.

guess I'll have to think about this more if I am going to buy alot of buckles.... may have to just go with some that are lesser quality in order to have more of them.
a trade off I have to think about.

thanks for your info.

Ali seems to have a lot of options. But hit or miss is the norm there I suppose

I did find some really fabulous buckles ... hand made from a guy in Lithuania.
here is the link.... they look fabulous.
I ordered some of the vintage ones... look like excellent quality.
