gavinh29 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Good evening, I am new to this site and new to collecting rep watches. i have recently ordered an 5002 big pilot, a 3789 46mm top gun and a Portuguese chrono from Andrew at trusty times and eagerly waiting their arrival, in the meantime I am looking for either new or pre owned gen straps or very good rep straps to possibly upgrade the straps they come with, can Anyone recommend somewhere or point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianmac Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I just picked up a gen IWC gator strap with gen deployant on the 'bay for less than $300 inc shipping for my Portuguese. Arrived today and quality is awesome! HKTan also makes an excellent strap for a Big Pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cougar1 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Nice, goes very well on that HKtan strap. Peterstraps was mentioned above, absolutely cracking straps for the money, better quality than most gen straps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavinh29 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Just bought a peter.watchacc grade a aligator strap for my Portuguese, can't wait for delivery, are they as good as people say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhc22 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Just bought a peter.watchacc grade a aligator strap for my Portuguese, can't wait for delivery, are they as good as people say? The quaility of the alligator skin is very good on mine, better than a lot I have seen in pictures that are cheaper. The padding on mine is slightly different to a gen, as it was shown in the pictures, but it cetainly looks high class on my 3717. As they say you get what you pay for, usually anyway!

Guest Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 So are peter.watchacc straps much better than thewatchboys and others? I have one from Peter but nothing to compare to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denverbass79 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I ordered an alligator from the watch boys and sent it back as the quality was not as good as Peter's. TWB do have more varieties of color right now. I'm jouncing for a gen strap for a 5001 I have on order as I can't find anything that's exactly the right color. It's hard to swallow $300 for a strap though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have straps from Peter and I had a strap from TWB. Peter's are far superior in quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themeditator Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hi, Strap on IWC Big Top Gun Pilot has now broken. Any idea where I can get a good one from?

themeditator Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Hi there I also need a nylon black strap for the big pilot top gun. I am considering going through Peter and getting one of his gator straps. The strap I need is a 21mm or 22mm. What's avoiding me getting the leather strap is that this watches gen strap is that Kevlar nylon type and I really want to keep the same.any idea where I can get one from? The $25 rep really does not cut it. Would a leather strap even look good on this model? Anyone have an example? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
