Re: 18 carat Yellow Gold Heuer buckle...

Mark, the Camaro 18 K, my 1158 CH / CHN all have goldplated buckles, the 2456 came on a vintage strap with I believe generic gold buckle...
Maybe Heuer was afraid of the softer material ? Just a guess ;-)
Abel loks really nice, how expensive would these gold buckles be ?

Cheers

: Very nice work Abel. As David says, it is a bit disappointing that
: the 1158s came with a plated buckle, so nice that you have a
: buckle to match the case material now!

: Arno, does your 2456 have a plated buckle too, or is that one solid
: gold?
