I have the same bag pretty much. Black on black with a black buckle, but i got mine about 4 years ago so yours is probably nicer. but i do like the silver buckle better. i think it looks nicer. And I have hot glued stuff to the back of my bag and safety pinned as well and the hot glue worked well and hasnt been falling off after about a year of it being on and in the rain and everything. but if i cold get a silver buckle i would, but i love my chrome bag and havent had any problems with it
