You'd think it would be easy enough, but nooooooooooooo.

I wonder how hard it would be to ditch the old buckles (if the belt was good, but the buckle sucked), and get newer ones? I'm sure there's a YT video somewhere. Something like:

Now you've got me squandering the rest of my lunch- Here's another buckle with what seems to be a removable watch type pin for easy attachment to an existing belt:

There must be other types like this for easy refitting.

Wow, that polished brass buckle is $65. Hank's sells a solid brass or solid stainless buckles for $16 and/or $19.
