Have the belt in a slightly older version for several years. The continuously variable width of the belt is awesome. The leather has excellent quality and even after years of only minimal signs of use (which I can not say of other belts). In my case the paint is chipped at the buckle (production errors come before unfortunately). In my mail request at gardeur I got sent immediately and without explanation a replacement buckle.

I can only recommend the belt and 40 are not much if the belt holds 5 years or more and the service is right. "Better to have to buy something clever" saves money.
