On the chronisimmo strap, I was wondering if anyone knew what the approximate measurement of the areas that stick out past the lug width are. See my picture below I am talking about the area between the two red lines. Looks like if the strap is for 22mm lugs the strap may acctually be 24mm in the widened area?

Mine seems to be just under 25mm (24.83 according to my caliper) at the wide bit. Hope this helps. Nice diagram by the way!

Ordered a TWB kevlar strap and also bought a chronisimmo with all black stitching today. Not sure about the chronisimmo - it's not a bad strap, but it does look a bit tacky and over-complicated alongside the 3717.

Always thought the Di-Modell Chronissimo was a good look too.

Yeah, nice straps. Seem to be very hard to get hold of nowadays though - not sure they're made any more.

very good quality kevlar straps .. good prices.

I may have one that I ordered which is too long for me.. what is your wrist size.

Wrist is slightly over 7 inches. Those straps looks great!

I agree; the genuine kevlar is awesome....and no doubt awesomely expensive to match!

Has anyone found something similar to the genuine kevlar without the cost? I found some Maratac straps which look fairly close, but can't find anywhere in Europe with any stock.

Any other ideas?

I've recently acquired a lovely IWC 3717 but only have the rather less than lovely 'leather' rep strap. I'm currently rather enamoured with the kevlar style straps which come standard on the Top Gun reps, but can't find anywhere online (in the UK/Europe) that sells such a thing. Does anyone have one of the Top Gun straps going spare, or know of a source for these?

Alternatively what other strap choices are there out there? I did seriously consider one of these but I'm not sure how it would look - does anyone have any experience of this strap, especially on a 3717?

Thanks, unless someone has a better idea I'll start emailing dealers shortly.

Fortunately the part that has broken is not directly connected to the ceramic; it's just a piece of sprung steel that spring loads the clasp and keeps it shut. It's actually screwed to the main body of the clasp and is completely removeable - I was rather hoping someone would be able to suggest somewhere that sells either a replacement part for this, or a replacement for the entire clasp.

My wife has just broken the clasp spring on her beloved 33mm chanel J12. It's the removable piece which holds the clasp closed and 'springs it open; one side has sheared completely off.

Does anyone have this part surplus to requirements, have any cunning way to fix this, or have a source for an equivalent part?

Thank you!
