IWC Ingenieur Mission Earth Strap options or makers?

Post by Clem » Mon Aug 18, 2014 10:50 pm

Does anyone know of any other IWC Ingenieur Mission Earth strap options (other than the rubber and the bracelet) or of any custom strap makers?

In specifically I'm looking for a kevlar style strap or ballistic nylon or whatever they use on the Top Guns.

TIA :headbang:

I don't believe any of other Ingy straps fit. Maybe the strap maker in Spain (Jacob?) makes something.

Chris nailed it, your best option is probably Jacob straps:

I made a strap for my Plastiki (same as the Mission Earth) just to experiment. It's a perfectly functional strap, and looks good, but I just don't wear it. Brownish-grey leather, and light olive stitching.

If you want it, PM me your shipping address and it's yours.

WOW that's a very generous offer Dan THANKS!!!!

I'm not so sure I'd wear it either though moreso for the simple fact that it's brown. I'm sure it's a great strap but I couldn't take it from you in good conscience if I wouldn't wear it. I'd rather it go to someone who'd appreciate and wear it more.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH :thumbsup: :cheers:
