Hello does anyone know where i can get a Gold buckle to replace the stainless one on my "CROC" strap?
I have a gold bezel so i just want to finish the strap off.
Could i just buy one half of a Black Croc strap with the Gold buckle on?

Basically you'll have two options - eBay or an AD. An AD will be your best bet as I don't recall when I last saw a gold tang and buckle on the Bay. But either way I suggest you have your credit card warmed up as a gold tang and buckle for the Chronomat will set you back £575. Cheap they are not!

Of course if you have spare cash burning a hole in your pocket I'd suggest going a deployant instead, but you'll need a new strap (croco at £380) and then £145 for a steel deployant or a whopping £2035 for the gold version! :shock:

Maybe £150 on eBay if it's unworn.

Personally I'd steer clear of gold buckles anyway as the gold is very soft and it will scratch quite badly. If I was you I'd go for the stainless steel deployant instead. As your watch is two tone it'll look fine and the deployant is a much nicer item than a standard buckle in my opinion. The only downside is the fact that the deployant doesn't fit the standard strap, so you'd need to order a deployant compatible strap too. But at £525 all in, it's still cheaper than a gold buckle.
