budda Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) Has anyone purchasd the TWB IWC alligator straps and can comment on the quality, or have photos? i have heard they are no better than rep straps, and on a few of the GEN forums receive high praise. Just wanted to get a better idea of the quality before making the purchase. Picts mounted on a 3717 would be great. Post em if ya got em!

trombone Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 sorry, i don't have pictures at the moment, but believe me, these straps are way better then rep straps. there are decades in between. some gen owners say, these strap are from the same quality as gen straps.

budda Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 This is what I wanted to hear. I will be moving forward with purchase. I also hear Kurt is a good guy to deal with. sorry, i don't have pictures at the moment, but believe me, these straps are way better then rep straps. there are decades in between. some gen owners say, these strap are from the same quality as gen straps.

lanikai Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 They are very, very good quality and the price Kurt offers is exceptional.. the one issue are the sizes.. they are a little off the norm.. but I have several gator straps for my Pams.. good long sections in the hide.. Made for deployment or tang buckle TWB.. gators are a definite thumbs up by me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Not gator, and not on a 3717, but I do concur that their straps are excellent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budda Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Sweet ! you guys have me sold. Especially since i believe they have offerings in the 21mm sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Sweet ! you guys have me sold. Especially since i believe they have offerings in the 21mm sizes. Yes they do have the IWC size.. @21mm .. actually I just messaged Kurt last week about the IWC "Honey Tan".. that they used to carry.. it looks OEM and great on the white dial 3717 Spitfire.. but is not on his site.. although he told me he still has them.. I gifted away the last IWC from TWB's .. I ordered it too long.. but the gator was exceptional quality.. In fact now that you posted this I think I'll get on the horn to Kurt and order a black and Honey tan IWC.. maybe Ubi needs a gator for that gorgeous Portu....

budda Posted January 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Just pulled the trigger on the dark brown croc. I think i will mount this on my Topgun and not the 3717. I will post pictures when it arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadtorrent Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I have vintage leather PAM strap that's quite nice...miles ahead of the rep straps. The stitching is angled so doesn't look like a lot of hand stitched straps...but I don't believe this is the case with the IWC ones. It's a different style.
