A lot of fakes look and feel real, and unless you've handled a lot of the real thing, it would likely be hard for you to tell if it is real. Buckles are machine made and super easy to counterfeit, and there isn't much on the strap that can't be easily and well faked either.

There are authentication services who will look at it for a small fee. If you're prepared to spend such a significant sum on it, a small investment in an authentication service would be money well spent.
I agree with mistikat

also, this year i've saw a red/black combination in togo/box leather

Its from early 2014 I think from reciept German boutique hamburg and leather stamp.it's genuine its allready bought :)and I am not worried about it being fake ,but if you say we should authenticate belts before purchasing how do we do this?.we have the reciept from the store but how else can you authenticate.hermes didn't say it was not genuine when I sent them a few nice pics of the belt to see if they could get me one.they just said this 42mm belt is not in stock anymore and if I really want this combo keep checking daily as they bring back old colours etc etc.I'm Happy that I got it.as hermes boutique only has boring brown chocolate and noir in stock and was not even my size.and I don't think I can "so" a red and black belt or any other combo as a new customer. I know some boutiques will let you in Switzerland I know a girl that did

I had my :heart: set on the Idem and was ready to head into my local H boutique to track it down... and then... I saw the Gamma! I couldn't view the image on H.com until this morning. Now I'm torn between the two. It kind of looks like a feminine version of the Idem yet is still under the radar, which appeals to me.

Would anyone who owns this buckle be willing to chime in with their thoughts?
Do you reach for it often?
Do you find it easy to dress up or down?
Would anyone be willing to post OTTD modelling the Gamma (I did find just one post with a beautiful photo styled with jeans).

Thank you! :kiss:

I was just about to post my new belt kit, vermillion and rj, with Gamma buckle. I only wear jeans mostly so this is my only mod shot. HTH!



 
I have two 32 belt kits; both genuine bought from Hermes London Bond Street.
One last September (2015) and the other in 2006.
The most recent one has a longer and more tapered tongue - the end from the buckle hole.
Does anyone know when the style changed? or is there now different style for men and women?
 
I'm looking to get an Hermes belt soon. How do I measure to see what size I want - either 85 or 90 mm in length. I want to wear it with my jeans mostly.
you have a very narrow waist!
sorry, I couldn't resist - I'm sure you meant cm not mm

as a more serious answer: I have 90cm and 95cm belt straps
the measurement from the buckle hole to the middle of the three belt holes is 90cm and 95cm respectively - they would be the equivalent measurements to a tape measure round your waist
there effectively little room for adjustment +-2.5cm (an inch)
if you opt for the larger size Hermes can/will punch an extra hole in the strap if you wish
