I rarely seen anyone with the silver buckle before, nor heard anyone recommending the silver over the brass (gold). Does that mostly stand for Hermes belt that the gold one is everyone's choice? I got an offer on a silver Idem buckle for $350 only (legit checked) and I think it is a good deal. Just that it comes in silver, not the best choice for Hermes?

My H buckle is in silver. I love it. It comes down to personal preference.

that is not a good deal if you might want to buy another strap in the future
strap on its own is $485 and complete kit is $870
 
I've been searching this thread for nearly an hour and can't find the answer, so gonna ask..

Does anyone have both gold and etoupe side by side for comparison?

It's my first belt and I want a black and tan combo, so I understand I need to pick either noir/gold or noir/etoupe.

I have the brushed H buckle in silver and I love it. One isn’t better than the other; it comes down to what you like best and what looks best with the clothes and jewelry in your wardrobe. I don’t think $350 is a great deal for the buckle alone. It’s about what a buckle would cost if you could buy it independently from the kit once you factor out the cost of the strap, maybe a little more.

Gold and silver buckles are equally widely used.
I think that the gold ones go well with all the colours, but prefer the silver with black, grey, blue, green tones.
I was going to say that the brushed finish is more durable, but I then realised that the first polished gold that I bought twenty years ago is hardly marked.
