importr Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Hi guys Can anyone suggest or recommend a thick (but not disproportionately thick) strap for a Top Gun? Whereas I like the latest version of the rep Kevlar, I'd like something that keeps the rugged theme, but actually feels right for the watch. I think the TG head is a tad too heavy for the rep strap. Ideally the new 21mm strap will still able to retain the 18mm IWC buckle. Last night I tried a 22mm Hirsch Liberty (black calf/white stitch), it looked well suited but it also looked like it was squeezed. I have a grey Tootall IWC strap, but it doesn't suit the 3789. I'm thinking desert/tan like the B&R Heritage. Or vintage brown ammo/baseball ? help! Or should I just stick with an off the shelf item like a smooth calf from Waccex? A bit boring, but safe http://www.waccex.de...products_id=786 cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maccaz Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I'd love one of the new big pilot style kevlars off the top gun perpetual for my new baby Importr. http://www.iwc.com/en-us/collection/pilots/IW502902/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importr Posted February 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Good luck on finding one, although there was a chap here selling gen Kevlar a while ago. Expect to pay a lot though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
