IWC Strap Position

[vlydog]

I just spent the last few minutes trying on several new straps for my 3717. I love the deployment buckle but, no matter how hard I try or what set-up I use, it always feels uncomfortable. I have always placed the shorter side of the strap on the 12 o'clock lug side and the long side of the strap on the 6 o'clock lug side. I remember viewing a thread recently where a poster had it positioned the opposite way; so I tried it. It helped a bit but still uncomfortable. So now I have it on the tang buckle which provides a more comfortable fit.

My question is this: Is there a right or wrong way to attach the strap to the lugs? My current set-up is short side 6/long side 12.

Thanks

I find deployants, in general, to be uncomfortable. The correct way to wear a deployant is to have the "Tail" coming back towards the 6:00 side, which is typically opposite a tang buckle installation.

I have the IWC deployant this way and find it to be more comfortable. Oddly, my JLC deployant is the opposite.

Square Pilot was the first to correct the strap positioning .. in my pics..

it is actually easier to put on and off with the buckle @6..
