They seem to be few and far between...

I'd suggest asking Davidsen if he sells em seperate... (no idea if that is an option... just off the cuff)

Many times the Ti buckles turn out to be brushed stainless, so perhaps get a cheap-o stainless and brush it a bit?...

No, not directly anyway, although some may be able to source one or two if you ask them nicely.
Even so, it will be 'thumbnail' style (Vendome), not V-shaped (pre-Vendome).

Not sure what type Davidsen puts on straps that come with his latest Ti PAMs...pays to ask him as well.

cheers,

I don't think DVN has it. But the one that hard to find is 24 mm. I think for this 24 mm, BOB brush buckle is the best. I had couple from BOB and it really close to the Ti case.

Might want to get a 24mm and see about getting it Aluminium Oxide Blasted (look at the recent Aquatimer thread on rwg by ajoesmith)

I Might be interested in this project as well for my 192, I'll see if I can find someone local that will do it (but it wont be until March).

I know the brushed option is there, but I was really hoping for a true Ti buckle. Someone on the Paneristi site is making them, but he's looking for $150/buckle, which I think is rather high.

I have an aluminum oxide blaster at my office with 27um and 50um particles, but I'm quite certain that it wouldn't stay that way. Any rub/scuff will leave a shiny spot.

Maybe if we all requested a Ti buckle one of the dealers would make them. Titanium is cheap these days.
