My brother bought me this belt for part of his gifts to the wedding party (which I was in.) After a few months of wearing it, I was ready to go out in all dressed up in my 3 piece when I found it had disassembled itself. In case anyone has come across the same issue, here is how to repair it.
First you need a electronic screwdriver set and red Loctite.
Remove the two set screws from the back completely and pull forward on the metal piece. It is probably glued onto the end of the belt. You can't see it very well but there is a springscrew in the metal piece that came off.
Add red threadlocker to either the threaded part of the buckle or to the springscrew.
Make sure you reattached the two with the "Guess" part facing up and the buckle facing up as shown.
I used optional Loctite 222 (Pink) on the set screws but you don't have too. It depends on how much vibration the belt will see.
Make sure the set screws are securely fastened below the surface of the buckle half.
And there ya go. Better than new. Im suprised it fell apart as quick as it did yet I am suprised it actually had screws and was repairable.
