I don't know when Panerai started selling PVD buckles, but now they do
I recently bought one of the new PAV00660 Pre-V PVD buckles for my PAM195. It's a 22mm buckle, so make sure you use it with a 24x22 tapering strap! Buckle screw-in pin is even PVD'ed too.
Looks like this buckle is originally intended for the 45mm PAM292 Radiomir Black Seal Ceramic since that strap is 25x22.
There's also a PVD tongue buckle (I think 22mm but not 100% sure. If not then 24mm) too if u don't like the styling of the Pre-V buckle.
IMO looks great on the older version rubber strap which is perfect to wear during the hot summer months and during swimming.
Cheers,
Anthony

Great, but what about all my cool 24/24 straps?
The tongue that came with the 26k is a real beauty, the new buckle is perfect, wish they'd make one, I need a 24!. Thanks for sharing!
It's got some dents and scratches on the crystal
Coating holds up extremely well so difficult to show signs of wear unless it's a really bad knock or u scratch against metal. - AT
boutique
Can I order the PVD pre-V buckle from a HK boutique? I assume the model number is PAV00660, 06108240 from the posted pictures. Is it ok to disclose the price on the forum? if you wouldn't mind , I would like to know. Thanks a million F.W.
Yup u should be able to order from the HK boutique
and the model # is what is shown in my picture. I forgot the exact retail price but I think it was US $225 or $250. I just want to reiterate that the buckle is a 24x22 buckle, not a 24x24. Cheers, Anthony...
