Yeah, I could show you the ones that I had to discard because some people don't understand "make the engravings 0.2mm deep please" :eh: :wtf:
Luckily, the engravings are done before I spend 4 hours shaping the buckles...

Damn!
"Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,
And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black."

I think the [mention]straps68[/mention]'s dlc buckes are great! I had a strap made for a 202a case with this buckle. I am really happy I made the purchase. It improved the whole watch for me.

Short answer: no, I can't.

Long answer: the place where the buckles were DLC coated said yes and the buckles are not actually black. A guy told me that it is because the steel is bead blasted... I don't believe him. I was unable to find another source.
