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...

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.
