    You can buy a DIY kit from Caswell and plate it yourself. The investment would be about $65. You'll need to strip the Chrome off and then replate the buckle with Gold (which has a shelf life of about 4 months I think), or plate it with brass or copper and apply a clear coat to prevent tarnishing.

    Or you could send it to me, and I'll plate it for you. PM me if interested

    The common figure for PGC shelf-life is 1 year but if its correctly stored it will last longer.
