Replica belts article i found and a question

[chokeslamcena]

OK, firstly i came across this when i was looking to find out the difference between Deluxe and Ultra Deluxe replica belts.

Its a pretty good read, so if you're into replica belts, its well worth looking through.

anyway, within it, he says:

Buying wrestling belt tips:

- Some collectors get annoyed when the plate bolts go through the leather and the plate. There isn't usually a way to know if you'll receive a belt with the leather covering the bolts or not, but the higher end belts usually cover them. If you are using Ebay ask the seller.

What does that mean exactly? anyone know for sure what he's saying

I always thought the bolts in the back were supposed to show?

I dont know... But that was a real cool read. I really want one but would never spend the money.

I'm also suprised to see that Cena's spinner is the most popular Adult belt.


But yeah, i don't get what he means by the bolt thing. I know on the actual belts, there is a layer of some material covering them, but i assumed all replicas would have them showing.

That article is garbage, I've seen it before. Don't beleive a word it says.

First of all, Deluxe and Ultra Deluxe belts are NOT made with real leather. It's still the cheap imitation crap, just without the cardboard inside of it that stiffens it up. The only difference between a Deluxe and an Ultra Deluxe is the thickness of the plates. The regular and deluxe's have 2mm thick plates, whereas the UD has 4mm thick plates.

The bolts stick through the back are on replica belts, and are covered up by a leather backing on real belts. Here is an example. You can see them on the back of my X Division belt. However, my World Heavyweight title has been releathered by Elgin Moore, who puts the proper backing on it, covering the bolts.

The "bolts" don't stick out. If you turn the belts over and look at the backs you will see the screws which keep the belt attached to the strap. It's not really a big deal. Real Wrestling belts on TV have them covered up.

So, in your opinion, what is the difference in the Adult and Deluxe belts?

I have 5 replicas. That site wouldn't have helped me at all. but i'm sure those 15 and under may find it useful if they ever had the budget fone one.
