MichaelDouglas85 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 I got this from trusty time. Was a bit annoying as there was the number "2" written on it in two places. I hate the strap. Any opinions on my dial? Does that need replacing also? Where can I get a genuine strap...and dial if I do need one... After I get this/these, how the heck do I fit it. Sorry, I am an office guy, no clue about anything mechanical. Thanks, Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martijnp Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Welcome to RWG. Genuine straps can be very expensive, I've got a gen IWC strap from a local IWC AD and I paid almost 300 euro (approximately 400 usd). There are also other strap makers who can make great straps, guys like Donerix for example 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netniet Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Welcome, For a new strap I would suggest Peter Watchacc, he makes very nice and good quality straps for IWC watches. You can contact him via FB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also other strap makers who can make great straps, guys like Donerix for example Gen Big Pilot straps are even more expensive. I'd go for Peter Watchacc or Orloff (he's a member here). http://s831.photobucket.com/user/orloff1812/library/ORLOFF%20STRAPS/IWC%20STRAPS?sort=3&page=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightwatch Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Hi You´ll need a cheap spring bar tool (Amazon/ Ebay) and look up a video on Youtube. For other strap options take a look at Panatime or strapped for time (and a 1000 others). Individual strap makers will offer exclusive leathers and designs but with waiting time and at a cost (but much more value for money than the gen imo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosco350 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 You can find them on eBay for around $200 usually. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paneriwc321 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Welcome to RWG. Genuine straps can be very expensive, I've got a gen IWC strap from a local IWC AD and I paid almost 300 euro (approximately 400 usd). There are also other strap makers who can make great straps, guys like Donerix for example I agree. If you want to get a truly genuine strap, then go for the AD. I got a genuine BP Ref. 5004 Crocodile Strap from an AD, but actually paid 700 Euros (!!!!) for it... in retrospect I should have gone to the Netherlands and get two for that price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prancuzas Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 As for dial - You can hunt for genuine one (few on chrono24 and few appear here from time to time on members to members sale sections). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any opinions on my dial? Does that need replacing also? Sorry mate, but what do you mean with this thing of the nr. 2 written on it in two places? This is a gen and looks totally similar to your one: http://www.chrono24.com/iwc/big-pilot-iw5002-7-days-power-reserve-w-box--paper--id2865089.htm?dosearch=true&picnum=0&query=IWC+Big+Pilot+7+days+power+reserve&resultview=list&searchexplain=1&suchen=Cerca&tab=pics&urlSubpath=%2Fsearch%2Findex.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
