Title: Exotic Buckles 2
Post by: TheHobbit on September 04, 2013, 08:50:38 AM
The buckles in this review, again from FineWatchBuckles, are made from poly acetate and poly acrylic. Colours just awesome. As with the rest of their products, finishing and build quality, nice. Well made. The buckles are also for 24mm straps.

Buckle made of PolyAcetate, bolt and strap from Maddog.

The underside, trademark tapering for the strap.  Quality finish and i do like the translucent nature of the buckle.

The buckle matches the strap to a T.

The next buckle in this review, with its lovely blue and yellow highlights is made of Poly Acrylic.

Very well made buckles. Hard, robust and no shape edges. Again the bolt from Maddog.

The bottom part of the buckle. I have to say that I do like the colours.

Very cool, thanks again.

I guess these should be the same material with guitar picks.

The blue yellow just shout "i'm poisonous", like this.

Perhaps some Swatch can match that colorfulness.

However, in my opinion, it is a matter of taste, conservative formal dressing or Vogue fashion forward. With the right watch design to match, SS or PVD will look good I think. A much more fashion savvy look.

I am liking those buckles.
Might end up as a conversational piece of thingy.
Provided they are up to the job and not just look fashionable... hehehe

It is Hanz. Rather robust. Been using it for a couple of weeks. The main difference between it and a metal buckle is the metal buckle with bend and dent, these will chip and if you insist, it will eventually break.
