kidxer Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Hey guys, I got one of EL's 3717s with bot SS and "leather" strap. I want to get a replacement leather strap. Something nice, thick, quality. Does Don sell this size? By the way, is it 22mm at the lugs? Thanks, kidxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 just measured my 3717; it is 22mm at the lugs... i think a BOB pilot watch strap could look pretty sweet on the 3717... deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Uhh, with my calipers, I measured 21mm (just like OEM). Hktan's big pilot strap is the way to go IMHO. I am still waiting for my custom version that is 21x18. Black with white stitch. I saw a ceramic split seconds with this strap and I decided that I must have it with the 3717.

Watchmeister Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Dave- Thanks for the tip. I am ordering immediately. May be it will time out with the return of the watch from Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Another one that looks good is the new hadley Roma Double Stitch Walt at Lonestar has 2014 Alligator Strap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff g Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 21mm is correct lug size. I am currently sourcing a Kevlar strap for the 3717. Or perhaps a tight nylon or carbon weave in lieu of the traditional alligator or pilot strap. So many options for such a great looking watch. What 's cool is that the standard IWC SS bracelet is really comfortable as well as great looking. But nice to have the option to change it up.

Perhaps a group buy? I'm definitely in for a kevlar or carbon weave, as well as a solid non-tapering black leather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TmeShare Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 (edited) Nice and thick strap with an aviation heritage has to be the Di-Modell Chronissimo strap. No contest, take a look at the strap. Here is one on e-bay but the wrong size. You need a 22mm which should fit a 21mm with a bit of work. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-18mm-Di-Modell-AVI...1QQcmdZViewItem TimeShare Edited April 9, 2007 by TmeShare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hilts Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I'm in for group buy on Kevlar if one can be arranged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slai Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I'm loving the sharkskin strap from the watchboys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Just found a Kevlar Watch Boys with genuine IWC buckle. Will post Pix when I get it. Since Watchboys are sold out of the Kevlar, I am psyched to have found one on the boards.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidxer Posted April 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 I believe they do. I think it was an option on the Big Pilot That would be nice to have! Anyone know where an IWC deployant clasp could be bought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Yeah, I'd like an IWC deployment buckle, too. Actually, I'd like 2 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Tracy Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Just in case anyone has a 22mm strap,..that they love.. it will fit 21mm lugs with a slight squeeze... I routinely fit even 2mm larger straps into smaller lugs just for a wider band look that I have grown accustomed to post the pam craze...

niller Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 just measured my 3717; it is 22mm at the lugs... i think a BOB pilot watch strap could look pretty sweet on the 3717... deltatahoe @ deltatahoe Excuse me for beeing daft. But looking at this beautiful strap and thinking i must be in the collection. Please through me a bone, i have been looking at the only place i know (obviously the wrong place, waccex) where they sell BOB straps, and cannot find it. What am i missing ? where can this strap be found? Perhaps this is a noob question? then sorry /Niller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
