I'm not giving this belt a five star review until it has proven itself with time. After all, it is an expensive belt and I would like it to last. If it can do that it will have been well worth it. Does it seem strange that you can then buy spare parts for it? I am not expecting anything to break but you can change the appearance of it by either changing the buckle or the belt strap itself. At the time I made my purchase, there was the option to get a good discount if three belts were bought and the shipping was then free. So... at double the cost of one belt, I now have three. Three different buckles. Three different belt strap colours. It has nearly been three months now. Was my purchase a mistake for me? No. I am happy. Now they just have to last a lifetime.
