has anyone seen a silver buckle with the word "18k" before.. like as per the photo below? i browsed photos on ebay to compare.. seems like there's only "hermes" engraved on it without the "18k" .. i thought "18k" usually make reference to gold?

thanks!

Where is this picture from? I'm not aware of any white gold buckles. I know there are sterling silver ones though. Maybe someone with more experience can shed some more light on this!

got it from ebay.. an auction which i have won.. but i happened to see this before i make payment.. and i have doubts about that "18k" word.. i have also never heard of white gold buckles.. and tpf does not authenticate belts and buckles now..

I'm not so sure about this, did you ask the seller if they knew what the 18k stood for? Also did the price you pay correspond to if it's gold or silver eg: is it a realistic enough price for that material? Hopefully you didn't get scammed!

I agree-- you need to check with the seller. You say you didn't notice this until after you won? I take it you haven't paid yet? Please let us know the outcome! I personally have never heard of an 18k white gold H buckle, but you never know with Hermes!!

i didnt make payment in the end! i told the seller my doubts and that i would not be going ahead with payment.. well apparently the seller said new hermes silver items have "18K" engraved on it! it's a tad unbelievable..

Is this a reputable seller?? Why would a silver item have 18k stamped on it? I'm glad you didn't pay & would consider reporting the seller.

yupz i only saw it after i won the bid.. i find the 18k engraving really strange.. haha hence i cancelled the transaction..

the seller wasnt pissed off or anything.. he didnt even leave me a negative feedback after i told him im cancelling.. maybe in a few days' time perhaps..heh

but im just thinking assuming the belt is authentic and i bailed out on it.. i would think he would be more inclined to leave me a negative feedback? just my thoughts..

he's a 100% positive feedback seller.. with around 1700 feedback.. i was looking through his past transactions .. most were erotic postcards.. the hermes belt was the only luxury item.. well what was i thinking.. im just glad that i didnt make payment

I have a question, I am a size 85 in the H belt and I bought a size 80 from a seller in the US and I wanted to know before I took it into the store and sounded like an idiot, is it possible to get extra holes put in a smaller belt?

that's good that you were able to get out of it! There's no reason for the standard buckles to have 18k engraved in them. I saw some brand new ones in the store yesterday and not one of them had 18k on it. Hopefully they won't leave you negative feedback, there's no reason for them to!

It is quite possible, however the more holes you punch, the weaker the belt becomes so they usually won't do more than 1, maybe 2. Hopefully it works out for you!

yup, i believe H's policy is 2 extra holes max for belts with 3 holes.

I did that with my croc strap. My store would only punch one hole making the belt larger (bigger), 2 holes making the belt smaller (tighter)... but it was no problem... they will do it.

wow that's good to know! i didnt know they allow one hole for larger, i was told 2 holes for smaller only when i got my belt punched! this definitely opens up more options for posisble strap lengths

i just rec. an silver/palladium buckle a few weeks ago and did not remember seeing an 18k, so pretty sure it's a phoney. glad you went with your instinct and did not pay for the itme.
