Davidsen 201a On A Dirk Logo

[Maikel]

Davidsen 201A on a DIRK LOGO that I just received today.

I had to sand down the CG cause it had a deep scratch on it.

Thanks to Kostas "V" & Aaron "Quarks" for all your strap info.

what have you done to the buckle?

[Maikel]

what have you done to the buckle?

Don't know what happend to it.

Don't know what happend to it.

hmmm.. looks like it is engraved by hand??? the logo seems strange and the PANERAI as well? any clearer photo of it?

P.S> Now that i ve seen it again it is DEFINATELY engraved by hand.. Look at the A on the Panerai... Where you got the strap?

The inside stamped...Original Kodiak & Panerai (with the logo).

It s not a genuine DIRK logo buckle... It is engraved by hand and very badly...

Check the logo on this buckle:

It s not a genuine DIRK logo buckle...

NOOOOOOOO... this guy Bob on P-risti

NOOOOOOOO... this guy Bob on P-risti

Has he sent you photos? I guess that's why he hasn't posted them in the offer post..

Ask for your money back or threaten with a Psti exposure and paypal claim.

If you ask my opinion I guess that it is probably a 5218 buckle grinded down and engraved on top by hand.

It looks like how the Dirks buckles are shaped...

Now you've said this...I also got a 5218-2 and it is exatly the same buckle...size & shape.

Oooh my God...you are the true Strapmaster

Oooh my God...you are the true Strapmaster

Yeah.. i wish i have helped before this happening though

[Maikel]

Yeah.. i wish i have helped before this happening though

No harm done on this...still like the strap...but a painful noob mistake

I'll ask you next time.

[Maikel]

Here with the 5218-2

[V]

And here is how the buckle on your exact same DIRK Logo should have looked for reference to Bob.

[Quarks]

Maikel, nice 5218-2 Dirk!! But the other Strap as Kostas has mentioned is not authentic. I would chase the fella's ass down and get a refund. Do let us know the outcome.

Here's another shot for the record:

You know, i think the buckle is genuine......I think the buckle used to be a PVD logo buckle that has had the PVD coating polished off............I did that to a Dirk second generation with a PVD logo buckle with the same exact results..(same strap too)......I even sold it on p-risti a couple of months ago.....I sold it cheap, for like $135 or something...........Its a small world so it might be it, and if it is......Its genuine..........cheers, Wan

Hey Wan maybe this was the one you've sold

You know the strap has the... (logo) PANERAI-ORIGINAL KODIAK stamped inside.

Anyway, he mailed me & offered a refund...also told me that it's a gen.

BUT...I'm gonna keep the strap, this may sound crazy...still like the strap, though

the engraving sucks. A reminder for my noob action

Next time better...right?

ps Wan you're right, the buckle had a PVD coating before.

I can see it where the buckle has been sewn in...thanks
