I believe it's just the II that has that stitiching where they pinch the leather to make that bulge. Someone once referred to it as Frankenstein stitching

What are the last numbers of the Derwent and the Naseby models? I do like their slightly larger buckle than my Williams II.

8000 and 7000 respectively I think, but note that both models have been discontinued. The Derwent was regular line, the Naseby was Prestige line.

I like the look of the buckles being closer together. The buckles themselves are also interesting in that they're more like belt buckles, with a leather loop to keep the strap in place. This looks more elegant to me than having just a metal loop, like on the William.
