rillz Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 http://www.yukiwatch.com/catalog/item/6784664/10128285.htm Being sold at Yuki and looks great... But is it fantasy or was there ever a gen rolex buckle like this? Leaning towards a raffles time buckle instead... More gen-like.. Best regards and thanks in advance, R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtguk Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Pretty sure Rolex only made up to 18mm but could be wrong I have a couple of these Yuki buckles and I have to say they aren't bad at all, fits in with some of my straps and nato I already have too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the raffles ones are also "fantasy"? Arent they 20mm on the onside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcotter Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 That buckle is a fantasy indeed! There are many rep buckles that emulate the 16mm. Gen but the one pictured looks nothing like the gen.the bay usually has a good collection of gen-like buckles for little money!

Mendota Explorer Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 There are some really nice 16mm and 18mm buckles from a seller in Taiwan. I'm picking up an 18mm for a new handmade strap in getting for my b-day. They look really nice and the price is only $16 or something.

philwongnz Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 What is the cheapest 16mm you guys had paid? In semi good rep quality... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendota Explorer Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Just go to Ebay. That Taiwan seller I mentioned has all sizes for $14.88 + $3 shipping. They look really nice in the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendota Explorer Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 I'll look for a link but all I did was Google rolex watch strap buckle and it was the very first Ebay pic that appeared. On my phone search results it always shows related Ebay listings if applicable. The seller has tons of sizes stainless or gold plated.

philwongnz Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 I bought from this seller. The quality is the poorest I have seen, good value for money tho. The underside is not even polished and the coronet is a bit wonky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendota Explorer Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 That's a bummer. They must have used the best pic they had for the listing. It looked OK in their pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mil04 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 I found this one for 18mm buckle, but it's on the pricey side: http://www.watchaficionado24.com/collections/18mm-buckles/products/18mm-aftermarket-rolex-logo-polish-spring-bar-buckle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
