Has anyone ever ID'd this Daniel Craig belt?

He seems to wear it constantly, but I can't seem to figure out the exact belt. Hoping someone else already knows.

You can spot the belt in one of the great video podcasts of Mr. Zaritsky (WHAT IS DANIEL WEARING? (1:55)).

Looks like a 1 1/4" belt to me... or is it 1 1/2"?
How do you even size for that belt? Go up several inches on the belt for the extra option of leaving it hanging out?
Here you go. -{

I normally wear a size 34" or 36" belt, but have this one in a size 40 and it measures 44 1/2" from end to end (excluding the buckle). This leaves enough belt for me to leave hanging, or folded back into the belt loop.
I got the 1 1/4" width. The 1 1/2" seemed too wide in the flesh.
Cheers....time to sell another kidney then )
Hold up now... you sure that's right? The picture seems correct, but shouldn't it be brass o-ring and not nickel?
Bought the wrong size grrrr!!!!
I seem to have awkward fit with the Scotch and Sodas in this dept too )
Care to elaborate? Did you end up having to go several sizes up?
I think I got a 95cm one (I can get away with that with a conventional belt but this was too short for this style)
I'm personally a size 33"/34", but it seems 40" is the way to go from what Kadd said.
Im around 34 - 40" is def the way to go.
For approx 30 odd quid I thought it was worth a shot!
Tiffany Case: And which do you prefer?
James Bond: Well, as long as the collars and cuffs match...

Looks a bit like a medium brown instead of a dark brown. Contacted the seller who told me that R M Williams has variations in coloration due to batches and that the pictured color is what they're selling.
I'm a 31/32 waist and they say to size up so I did but if you want that extra long DC look you'll 2 or more sizes bigger than you are.
Therefore I'll be ordering another one a size bigger, meaning I have a 34 inch available to sell. Only want what I paid, £150, and UK shipping only. I'll post pics tonight.
Thanks
Probably not the exact same belt, but I recently got this as a close-enough/possibly the same item (apologies for the ebay link outside the official thread):

The price was decent and I really like the look of the belt. I can post pics whenever it arrives, although I'm not holding my breath as the tracking # says it's been sitting in Victoria, Aus. awaiting shipment for a week now .
So this lovely belt showed up long before I expected it to. Here are some shots. I highly recommend R.M. Williams in general, their leather feels amazing. Also, the BAMF style blog claims that Daniel Craig's chelsea boots in Layer Cake were probably by R.M. Williams.
