Sgang 0 Posted June 30, 2018 If it works don't touch it. Nato on a big pilot? Naaa... Nato looks fine with smaller / thinner watches (at least in my view). For a strap you have plenty of options: from the cheap ones: https://ziczacleather.com to our strapmakers here in their section (https://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?/forum/187-trusted-dealers-straps-amp-accessories/) to others that proved to be good like this guy (my favorite): http://orloff-straps.blogspot.com/p/crocodile-straps-available.html or this guy here: https://www.flickr.com/people/124068590@N04/ Beware: wait the watch to arrive, check the size of the strap and compare how it fits on your wrist so that you can get one of the right size and don't run to get a strap that can be too short or long or even the wrong lug/buckle size.Wow a lot of useful informations! thanks !Yes I will wait for my watch to arrive and then I will decide what to buy. I like the bp top gun style so I was looking for a strap for my 5009 like that one but again I don’t know exactly what I’m looking for... I’m not a big fan of alligator straps, but some of them I admit are very very classy Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sgang 0 Posted July 23, 2018 Communication is difficult, organization is messy, 1 month minimum to have your strap, sometimes quality not perfect... For my AP straps I went with Orloff (Mario, he's Italian), for easier straps with them... But consider that I provide them with full detail drafts like this:My BP just arrived! Very satisfied with the watch, way more less by the straps. I think it’s the first tell about the rep nature. The seem rubber more than leather, and I think it’s very uncomfortable. So I need to buy a new strap! I think I will go with orloff but recently came to my attention a watchacc that seems to have a very good quality products. I received a quotation of 179$ but I don’t think I will spend that money, max 100$Here some pictures What you think?

GenTLe 1,501 Posted July 23, 2018 My last one has been from AP bands ) during the sale period as I would NEVER spend more than 100$ on a strap...: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sgang 0 Posted July 23, 2018 Yes, everyone here was so kind to reply to me. I found very precious infos in this thread for this particular IWC model, and I think could be useful to many. I will at the same time spread the info everywhere I can or where some one are needing them, in the full spirit of collaboration that should move this wonderful forum.Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
