VMSG 2 Posted April 30, 2018 Hi, Just got my IWC PORTUGUESE CRONO and I'm looking for a genuine alligator strap that will work with the IWC deployment clasp (the alligator needs to be genuine, not an IWC genuine strap). I've been looking in this forum and on the web a lot, but I'm not feel comfortable that what I found will fit the deployment clasp, so I will love to hear from more experienced members that own an alligator strap with deployment clasp. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chixisigma 461 Posted April 30, 2018 Hey Mate I was in a similar boat not too long ago. It depends on budget as there's plenty of options. I ended up going with a ZicZac strap that I was very happy with. Great value at $49 USD delivered! This was the brief I sent him (along with some images attached) "...I'm after a Santoni-style strap for my IWC 371446. Blue croc strap with blue stitching. Maybe calf leather backside? Dimensions 20/18 115/75 2-2.5mm thickness (to fit deployment clasp)..." For a more generous budget, my research indicated Jacob Straps is the Rolls Royce option! FYI ZicZac is at - [email protected] Chi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
