This is the buckle used for King Seiko 1st etc.
One is the original from that time,
One is a replica.
Can you tell the difference just by looking at it?
At first glance, they look the same, but
Subtle differences in typefaces, differences in thickness, etc.
If you compare them, they are completely different.
These buckles are not replaced when the belt is replaced,
It seems that they were often just thrown away.
Back then, people didn't even think about watch accessories like we do now.
I threw away the box and warranty card as well.
If I wanted to buy it again, I would have.
However, now the parts from that time are really valuable,
It is often traded at a high price even on a standalone basis.
Partly because of this, replicas started to become available.
I don't know if it's good or bad, but
Replicas fit better and are easier to use (lol)
Personally, I take it for granted that old watches don't have buckles.
Either original or replica is fine.
I don't mind if it doesn't exist, but
For those who are particular about it, it would be better to have the original,
I think some people would be happy if it came with a replica.
However, the complication is that Seiko's buckle is 15mm wide.
It is difficult to install with a ready-made belt, so please use a special belt.
I can only use products from the manufacturers we handle.
I wonder what it is (lol)
