Proper buckle for a 127?

[faberjay111]

Hi guys,

I just bought my first (modded) 127 that I am really in love with!

I don't know too much about the 127's. I do know though that I want to set it up in the classic way. I am going to order the classic "74" strap from Wotancraft.

My question is...what's the classic buckle for this watch? Should I order the "74" strap with a sewn in...or is a screw in ok?

Thanks in advance for the help, guys....

Oh yeah, here she is...



On a nice maroon croc...



On a Toscana with a sewn in buckle...

proper buckle would be the buckle that this watch came with, the engraved pre-v tang. A sewn in one would not be 'proper'. If I were you, I'd get a 74 that doesnt have the sewn in.

Also, WTC 74's are pretty $$$$$.. you should check out stonee's 74's.. I had one of them on a vintage piece an loved it. Equal to WTC, way cheaper, and faster too.

There really isn't a good buckle made. Therefore, I suggest you sell this watch to me imp:
