Belt looks great, as long as it is new

The belt looks when it is new, still good. The leather quality used to be better (have 2 of these belts), but is still acceptable.
Only thing annoying animal, is that the coating of the buckle already starts after a short time, peel off and including an ugly copper color emerges.
I thought to myself that it was just a production error was the first belt, but resigned the same state when a second belt.
Just looks ugly and based on the longevity of the leather just a shame.
