I have the 32mm belts, and my shiny ghw H buckle does indeed show scratches but it doesn't bother me too much. I also have a hammered matte ghw H buckle and it doesn't show scratches at all. If scratches bother you, I would recommend a hammered buckle in a heartbeat!

+1000

I was told to get the hammered when I first bought a H kit and never regretted that decision. I have the gold and silver for over 9 yrs and altho both have 2 major scratches, it's not noticable.

Scratches look way worse on the Polished or Brushed. I actually think the Brushed get more abused looking easier than the Polished.

So good to know, as I hadn't previously considered hammered buckles. Thanks for sharing!
 
So helpful to know, mistikat, as I've wondered! Also the shiny buckles can be sent back to Paris for refinishing and polishing when they become very scratched. But the after sales specialist in my store said that the brushed ones cannot. So, possibly another consideration when purchasing.


Hi couldn't help but answer that I sent my shiny gold and silver Constance belts last year to H to get polished because they were scratched awful and I didn't even wear them so much but one was 10 years old and the other 6. They came back brand spanking new. They also had the plastic covering which honestly I am not removing until completely necessary. No one can tell the plastic is still on, but I did trim it down a little. Yes I know everyone recommends to remove all plastc but with these shiny buckles I'll take my chance.
But I found the guilloch buckle does not scratch. I love that one so much, now I'm looking for it in GHW. These belts are so addicting, now I have 3 Constance 32 and 1 42. With 7 straps, 5 for the 32 buckles and 2 for the 42.
I love all your belts ladies.
 
Glad you enjoyed the pic, Etoile de mer �� My last contribution to this tread, at least for a while. Etoupe/black togo/box with silver buckle and so exited about the craie/white swift/epsom with permabrass buckle. Thank you for letting me share ��

Thanks for the information about the guilloch buckle, Onthego! Will join you in your hunt for one in GHW. :hugs:

Thank you Vigee, you are such a sweet lady, for posting the pic of your Au Carre belts. I just bought a new belt and bag from H. We all need a little orange in our lives 😄

What lovely pics Serva, and of course great belt collection
 
Thank you all for your kind words 😄 Leaving Paris with a couple of new belts and hoping to return soon. I have the guilloche phw buckle and it's very scratch resistant. Hope you find the guilloche in gold 😄
