After half a year, I can say the following: - The belt still looks almost like new, as there is through the automatic buckle little friction or break points - The automatic buckle still works without problems - BUT: the recording on the other side - which is doing an excellent service to the tool-free shortening of the belt - pinches the end with the help of six spines made of metal. However, only in the lower layer of leather, which means that at an elevated train breaks off this layer. Although you can then cut off the damaged piece, but after this happened to me three times, the belt is so slow too short. In addition, the buckle alone - depending on usage and taste - with more than 100 grams is quite heavy and can easily tip forward.
So that the belt is not completely useless, but you should bear in mind the limitations. Therefore three star.
