z3k0 Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 So, while still deciding what to do with my V1 TG and should I bite the bullet and get V2, I got myself custom made big pilot style croco strap with red stitch. And I love it See for yourself: regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z3k0 Posted July 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Thanks guys, I've been looking for strap for TG that will work for me for long time - till I've found this. I got idea from lani and his red stitched strap - thanks mate, hope you are getting better. I got it from my local supplier, he distributes watchmaker supplies, and has a strap maker he works with. After few months of my begging, he ordered for me one batch of BP style straps from his strap maker. This one was with white stitch, and I got it restitched to red. Unfortunately there are no any more straps left from this batch, I just bought last one recently for friend of mine (also member here). regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standready11 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Now that just makes the watch look sinister! WOW. Great job. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 That strap MAKES the watch. It sends it up into the stratosphere. GOOD WORK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitton Mar Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Z3Ko - Really liked your strap, and was a bit bored by the nylon one mine came with, don't have your contacts so: Took an old (battered and well used) leather 3717 strap I had kicking about in my parts drawer. Got me some red saddle thread and some leather needles: Careful putting it on: Has The IWC Buckle: It's better than the nylon I think. Still has some wax on the inside which will scrape off after a few days. First go at doing this, amazed how little time it took - about forty minutes from start to finish: Only trouble is - last night I let Mademoiselle Mitton (my better half) try it on and I think It is going to be nicked... Anyway thanks for the inspiration! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Both well done. However, due to the larger case and considerably thicker case than 3717, I feel that the TG needs a thicker strap like what is shown on the first picture.
