clkcadet Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I am in desperate need of a brushed 22mm tang/thumbnail buckle with the panerai engraving. I picked up a DSN 228 recently, and I am not happy with the deployment, and a pre v that was included is too big for my wrist! I bought a "sterile" buckle for the meantime, but I would really love a "panerai" engraved buckle! I have searched the classifieds for 10 days and nothing has popped up! If anyone has one to sell(or a U.S. source) please let me know! I will post many lume shots if you do :) Thnx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Welcome to the club looking for 22 PAM Logo buckles (see my Sig) I even tried DSN with no luck. I managed to acquire 1 ARD style from a member here (which I think you are looking for), but finding branded Pre-V 22's is a challenge. Good luck, if you find a source, please share, as will I. I have even taken to eBay looking for Gen buckles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clkcadet Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Thanks for the response. I am staying away from the pre-v but those are more common in the classifieds. The thumbnail/ARD is what I have been looking for with no success. None of the dealers want to ship such a piece and sometimes I just think its better off buying a new rep just to harvest the buckle I would even be interested in buying a rubber strap with the correct buckle, but I can't find anything!

Toadtorrent Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I know it's not what you're looking at now...but look at the buckles at wotancraft. Stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Have look on iOffer they tend have a few for under $20. If I can find the sellers I will let you know. But as far as I know there are no Brushed thumbnails so you might have to do that bit yourself. ST4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clkcadet Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I will check ioffer. Thing is I rather do it locally in the states to avoid any headaches. If I find it I will post the price in case anyone wants to do a bulk purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanikai Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 If I can find someone with a Hermes engraving machine.. I could copy the one I have on generic buckles.. find a jeweler.. preferably a small family run .. and if they have anything resembling a Hermes.. it's as easy as tracing the logo.. actually that's what your doing..
