IWC Strap Update

Post by jimyritz » Fri Feb 04, 2011 7:10 am

As many of you know, IWC uses a custom technique to attach their straps so it is very difficult to find anyone who can provide a custom strap.

I sent a note to one of the few (ABP-Paris) inquiring about a custom waterproof calf leather strap. It took a week but they did respond...

1) No waterproof
2) I would have to send the rubber strap to them
so they could remove the strap attachments for the new strap

3) It would cost 445 Euros or $600+ USD..... :o :nutkick: :lol:


Needless to say, I will be staying w/the rubber strap which I have no issues with...

:cheers:
Mike

Good choice. That is crazy money for a strap.

:shock: Yeah, Mike, that rubber looks just fine, buddy. How does it compare to other rubber straps out there?

Thick, comfortable and no lint...Is it the best? probably not, but it is a solid very good.
