Stewart 0 Posted October 3, 2016 I wanted a new watch to wear this fall and after deliberation decided on the IWC 5001-06 (Watchfinder). I needed a strap that would give the right vibe and feel . Initially I was going to go Santoni but the cost is prohibitive and the look is more dressy than I wanted. I contacted Nero to make a strap that would fit my concept and look I was going for and I think he delivered. Took 50 winds to get the power reserve to the seventh day. So far has been working perfectly. Perfect for dress or casual. Enjoy the picks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadPickle 2,746 Posted October 3, 2016 Looks good pal, the strap really works :thumbsup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
linos 3 Posted October 3, 2016 Thought Nero strap would be a bit rugged and not classic for an IWC but must say you seemed to have cracked it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FunnyStarSystem 7,538 Posted October 3, 2016 That strap is a perfect solution. Portugiesers look great on all sorts of tires but few stray from the gators. Bravo, sir! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stewart 0 Posted October 6, 2016 Update. As noted in the original post I wound the watch 50 times for it to reach full charge or the seventh day. Since then I put it away so I could test the longevity of the power reserve. I had forgotten about it and just went to check where it died. To my great surprise it is still running...after more than 72 hours! Also the time was spot on! Now that might not be that exciting to some but for a rep to have over three days of power reserve is exceptional...to me at least. Here is a pic I just took showing the date and time three days after a full wind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GT86 0 Posted January 22, 2017 Superb and surprising IWC + NERO combo, I will have to copy it I'm afraid. Only question remains is whether to commence next month or right bloody now?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
