extra special buckle

[mastergod]

Although I'd never give a $500 or more for a piece of steel, they have historical value...

come on, even a 10minute worked hand made strap is being sold over $100 around everywhere...

if a buckle is more than 30years old and have historical value... what do you expect? should they sell for $20?

I agree. SHT Dep is funny though. BTW - If anybody has a sew-in 24 or 26 mm GPF titanium to sell, I'm interested.

Hey Maikel - the GPF buckle picture you use in your signature area in posts - is it a genuine buckle? The font is different from others I've seen.

The buckle on Maikel's signature is the ORIGINAL Vintage Panerai buckle.... The specific one is mounted on a depth gauge of 70's-80's.

Excellent info!!

I'm really surprised that I haven't seen a copied GPF-Mod-Dep buckle yet.

How hard can it be to copy one 1:1.

The problem is that it is hard not to copy it 1:1... too few details to have it uncorrectly repped...
