Buben & Zorweg Magnum Luxury Watch Safe
Since its establishment in 1995, Buben & Zorweg has transformed from a small firm producing packaging for high-end timepieces and jewelry into a manufacturer of watch winders, fine mechanical watches and - since 2008 - luxury safes as well. This time we are looking at the brand's latest safe called the Magnum, designed to be a solution for (nearly) all problems of the concerned watch collector.Safes play a subservient role most of the time.

Deployant buckle on 2007 vintage 5140
Can anyone advise whether the attached deployant buckle looks right for a 5140 made in 2007 ? It does not have the PP 'Calatrava' symbol on the ourisde. The watch is still sealed and the paperwork all matches up, so I have no reason to doubt its authenticity, but I equally have not seen one picture of a PP buckles without the symbol.
