NOS 14K Bulova from early 1980s...
Original strap with 'homemade' 14K buckle...
A jewelry repair friend and I made 5 or 6 of these buckles 20+ years ago. The buckle body was an unsigned stainless steel accessory buckle, the A-tron symbol was from an old buckle and attached to the steel buckle, then a mold was made from it.
It took all day to make them.
4-17-24 Misc. gold buckles...
The six bags at the top are from past watches. There is another box of gold buckles, .925 silver buckles, buckle tongues etc. somewhere but can't find them. Buckles in bag on bottom right are 16mm.
Used to buy 14K buckles at watch shows, eBay etc. for $30 or $40 each...now they are $100 and up.
