Maikel Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 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.

V Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 Maikel said: 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?

V Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 It s not a genuine DIRK logo buckle... It is engraved by hand and very badly... Check the logo on this buckle:
Maikel Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Posted November 15, 2006 V said: It s not a genuine DIRK logo buckle... NOOOOOOOO... this guy Bob on P-risti
V Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 Maikel said: 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.
V Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 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...

Maikel Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Posted November 15, 2006 V said: 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.
V Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 And here is how the buckle on your exact same DIRK Logo should have looked for reference to Bob.
Quarks Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 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.
wan Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 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

(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
