After a few months of regular use, but one also sees increasing signs of wear:
- The leather roughens very strong, where it is drawn past the sharp edge of the metal buckle
- The silver coating of the metal buckle begins to flake
- I even once fallen apart the complete belt buckle - the screw that holds the leather strap had come loose
My conclusion: For everyday use in the "casual" range quite OK. If you want to wear the belt for special occasions, then you should be a belt specifically for reservations.
