hi all together,

I was wondering if there's an overview of all the buckles that came with the different models of these beautiful watches.
i searched this forum and tried some links that were posted here, I searched by google but found no pictured list where this topic was described.
If you have a link or an idea I'll be glad to read about that.

Thank you in advance

Fredl

I can appreciate a person wanting to get everything down to 100% OEM detail. However, IMO a strap/buckle is not that critical if going for OEM. My reasoning comes from seeing most (if not every) gen owners switch out their straps/buckles. A good number of those do this daily. Panerai even knows this and has made the quick release to suit this need.

Maybe if your request was for what buckle came for a particular PAM, it's doable. But all buckles for each specific PAM? If google cannot help you, then neither can we (unless you don't know how to search properly then that is a different problem). Like tootall mentioned, even gen owners change their buckles on a regular basis so they won't be looking at your buckle to determine if the watch was gen. I would expect them to look at your watch for that. ;)

I know that most of the owners change the straps with the buckles ;) So do I - with the gen and the reps:) I was just wondering that there seem to be a lot of variations of buckles in different forms and dimensions out there. My "problem" is that the buckles in most reviews of specific models are not documented, photographed neither described...When I think of Rolex it's the other way round...there are tons of postsabout really small innovations on bracelets and clasps....

Maybe it' s not really important ... I was just courious...
