Iwc Portuguese / Strap & Deployant Buckle

[Golfman]

Hi,

I'm searching for a black croc strap and a deployant buckle for a Portuguese Chrono.

Do you know where i could find it.

Thanks for your help

Try watchprince.com (in Oregon). They have a wide selection of croc and alligator straps and, I think, can put a deployment buckle on any of them. Then there's also banda.com.

I'm also wanting a black, top quality, crock/alli strap for my iwc (must have "IWC" on the buckle)!

Do I have to go gen to get this?

Cheers.

(sorry to butt in on your thread )

I'm also looking for one, when I get my Portuguese Panda. If you find out, can you post it here? Thanks.

you can transfer the buckle from the rep strap over to a higher quality croc strap.

How would you do this? I may be wrong, but it looks like the rep buckle is sewn in (no sign of a screw on the end).

I think that the most difficult is to find an IWC Rep deployant buckle. I've ask my favorite dealer, and it isn't available

HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's probably got a Springbar.

pug-thank you. that is correct, i have this buckle and it is on a springbar that doesn't show on the outer sides of the buckle.

Anyone know what the lug size is of the Portugese chronos?

20mm

20mm

Jolly good - going to start looking for a decent 20mm black gator strap then!

check this one out... i'm thinking this watch doesn't want something tooo distracting... basically subtle, high class, a bit of grain, but not too heavy, matte finish... clean lines... what do you think?

Looks good, I have had banda straps before and they are usually good. Never had a croc/gator from them though. $80 is a good price, I was thinking it might cost as much as $120 for a real gator/croc strap.

Does anyone know how wide the buckle end of the strap is? Is is 18mm or less?

+1 for those Banda straps. I've ordered about 3 alligators from them... All have a high quality look/feel, nice matte finish, nice padding. Plus, you can order in custom lengths and widths (both lug and buckle end).

Buckle end on the chrono rep is 18mm.
