3717 Strap Thread - pics please...

[thealphabeta]

Hey All

Just ordered a 3717 with black dial, wondered if you could all post a pic up of aftermarket straps and where you got them from? I want to replace it immediately as i hate the ones that come with the watch!!

Cheers

I like the 3717 bracelet a lot, but also have a Di-Modell Chronissimo that I've never fitted to the watch. I'm concerned that if I ever manage to actually get the bracelet off, I'd never get it back on.... It's VERY tight.

Check out these pics of the Di-Modell: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...mp;#entry495611

Well my vote is for the Di-Modell Chronissimo but that velco strap looks the business too.

Now that's a nice look!!

Hmmmm nice! I quite like kevlar!

Whats the lug size?

[Merlin]

lug size is 21mm - not very common...

there are two versions of the kevlar - the old one is textile and starts to fray out the new one ist rubber with texture. I had the older one - unfortunately it was too long for me so I sold it again...

kevlar on ebay I know this is for 20mm but I've bought it in 21mm, I think they have them from time to time in 21mm also

Thanks

Some of my favourites:

HKTAN distressed brown 22mm leather strap (squeezes in 21mm lug width)

Other RWG member's 3717 on Timefactors' nato:

My Globalwatchband black 20mm gator

Also check out kevlar straps with or w/o white stitching, I know some RWG members have them and they look great

Would be something like this:

Good luck with your choice

second that - each 22mm strap will fit by squeezing into the 3717...
