Swung by Singapore over the weekend and bought some stainless steel pig buckles in 24mm for my PAMs and my Enzos. Each buckle is about 4.5mm thick with a very robust pin. Here they are. 2 are in polished steel and 1 is in brushed finish. They are heavy, thick and sturdy. Although the submarine outline isn't "punched out", I think the entreprenuer-creator used 2 pieces: the main buckle itself and then the pre-cut submarine, which he welded in and cleaned out. I would have preferred the total cut-out version but my searches yielded zippo results.
Shown in the picture below are the 3 buckles. I haven't polished them yet so there are some smudges/swirls from the blue sticker protective packaging. For a sense of scale, I included a big brushed GPF-PreMod on a light tan strap and the usual Pam-sized buckle on an Enzo black rubber strap. You will see that each buckle's size and dimension is somewhere between those 2 other buckles featured.
Shown below is the brushed version in 2 perspectives
And here below are the 2 polished versions
They will all go into service soon on some of my other straps and watches.
Thanks for looking. Hope you like them.:)
