In Response To: Buckles. What about the Beta stamp? ()

Hello all,

I had a 3147 Dato which came from the first owner with a 'beta' buckle and nearly at the same time I purchased a Cal. 15 Carrera, which was obviously issued later and this one came on it's genuine Corfam with a sun buckle.

This could also be coincidence but with the observations of other, I'm not sure, if the sun buckle was actually issued earlier.

Do we have any definite facts about that theme?

Kind regards,
Manuel
