Anyone tried the 'new' Everest leather for vintage ?

I noticed the other day that they now have a curved end leather for the 1680 & 5513. This is new I think ?

I don't care much for the buckle. I would prefer the usual Everest buckle.

Anyway, if anyone has one, I'd like to see photos

I have used them a few times - both black and brown. Here is a GMT 1675 with a brown Everest and a later clasp.
