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 :p

To me, why should THEY be able to tell you how many holes to punch on YOUR belt anyway? When I asked for another hole in my strap, the answer was "where would you like the hole placed?" I never thought they may say "no." I think there are too many rumors about H policy.

I think, like most things H, it's open to rather large interpretation, and some SA's will do it, some won't, but I do agree that punching too many holes will eventually weaken the belt, and if you don't need to I wouldn't recommend it!

Yes, I agree.

However, I don't understand what you mean by "weaken the belt". Obviously, punching a large number of holes, too close together would not be a good idea... but the holes on my H belts do not "stretch out". Have yours? Is that what you are referring to?

I do not like too many holes because if the strap is too long, eventually the end will hang out and look sloppy.

I had the same problem, I decided in the end I would eventually get the gold but for my first I went with the silver. I think if you have more silver HW bags or wear more silver or white gold, you should do the silver!!
My bigger issue was size!

I'm not entirely sure either, that's just the explanation that I was given. Could be true could not be, perhaps someone else could enlighten us on this? I'd love to know too, my guess is that the extra holes could stretch, but that seems unlikely.

My first was also black box/Gold Togo. I have to say "go for Gold!" I have lots of silver & some Gold. But my Gold hammered H buckle just stand out. I got another PHW buckle later thinking to match with my PHW Lindy or SHW Chanel flaps, but the gold buckle is still the one I love more! Try to dress up & carry your most carry bag when to go into the boutique this Sunday. Try all buckles if possible. You can decide from there on...

ITA! The gold buckle is sooooo Gorgy! I have both but also reach for gold more. Also, I would reco a textured metal... Not plain... It scratches sooo easy and is very visible. I regret getting the phw h buckle without a texture. I say yikes everytime I wear her and look down... New scratches from leaning against counters etc. too high maintenance for me :(
