16mm bronze buckle needed. HELP!
Need Help — Can anybody provide a link to a seller that makes a 16mm bronze watch buckle??? Looking for a buckle for my Tudor BB58 Bronze. Not sure why this is so hard to find… but I can’t find this item anywhere.

Baltic has a 16mm bronze buckle they sell, but at €40 that might be a little steep. Although putting a Baltic branded buckle on a Tudor might trigger some OCD, it's an option.

Did you go with an aftermarket strap for your BB58? If so curious which? The taper from 20 to 16 is a decent drop off. If you can get a strap with an 18mm buckle, that opens up all kinds of doors. Did you not care for the bracelet or their NATO? I like them both, but I keep it on the bracelet.
Edit, just saw your straps. I would go with @Olivier suggestion, or try to find a different strap.

I wonder if I could buff off the branding. Not a bad idea.

Not a fan of NATOs. The bracelet is great — but for more casual wear I prefer rubber. The Vanguard strap is fantastic… just didn’t realize buckle was 16mm.
