OEM Tang Buckle

Not sure if discussed previously but the price of the OEM 18 mm tang buckle is now $48. It used to be $17 back in 2016. Kinda sucks that an easy, cheap mod to non-OEM straps got 265% more expensive. I politely declined when they told me the new price at Brookfield boutique.

Plenty of good versions on eBay for less. You’ll never know the difference, although a drop in the ocean relative to an OEM deployant which must be genuine as the repos suck.

That’s unfortunate. I also bought several OEM buckles to wear with different size straps and always paid less than $20. It was nice to change the look relatively inexpensively. I’d pass on pass on a $48 buckle, too. Glad I got all of mine already.
