I had no problem buying a steel pin buckle for my 5960A, though! Up until a few years ago, the only buckle available was the one for 5565A.

Yeah, but I’ll have to change the racing strap

To fit the PP buckle. All PP straps end in 16 cm.

Aaaah, yes, I see.

No restrictions to buy a SS buckle for me.

Do not forget that the 5960 A case has notches cut out between the lugs where the strap attaches. They are covered by the endlinks for the bracelet but quite visible with a strap, but I guess you knew this already. Btw - how much did a SS deployant buckle... 

Yeah you’re right.

People say it works fine. I think it will cost €400 probably but waiting for the pricing from the AD.

Thanks Blau

Do you have a picture? I never noticed them when I saw it on collector friends.

I do not have any pictures

It's at an angle where nobody else is going to notice it, it's only the wearer who sees the notch. Here's an even worse offender, the current Rolex Explorer (124270): ...  

Thanks Blau.

I see what you mean and how it would bother some collectors. Makes sense.

This one is a very dark blue and appears almost black. And you you’re right it should be black.

I thought it was black too.

It’s just a super dark blue. But I’m looking to see if they can make it black.
