Strap ideas needed for this BPilot

[kgbAgent]

Hey all

Have just purchased this and it will arrive strapless & I need help choosing a strap. It is a bit hard without seeing the piece in reality but the lead time on straps can be quite long & I want to get a headstart.

It's the IWC Big Pilot with a working power reserve.

The case measure a full 46.5mm not including the crown or lugs.

Apparently it is 24mm lug size

All suggestions welcomed

Cheers

I think this one is pretty handsome:

Tobacco or cognac for your color scheme. I have ordered from them, but only recently, and haven't received the band yet.

Thanks mate ... they look OK and the price seems unreal ... be glad to hear what you think when it arrives

[ChipSlap]

I will let you know. It should be here any day now.

Maybe someone will correct me, but I'm pretty sure the BP lugs are 22mm.

Thanks fellas

I am assured that it is a 24mm size

That Zuegma sute has some nice stuff but only 2 of the 24/24's are available

Cheers

Well, my package from International Watchman arrived.

I chose the black GT strap, with the spring-loaded butterfly deployant.

I didn't order the ostrich, so can't comment on that one, but the strap I did get is really excellent quality for $10 (butterfly is extra).

It's strong, feels soft on the inside, and has that rich leather smell. I'm sure I will try the ostrich in the weeks to come.

I burped and bought the heroic strap in gator with orangy stitiching = $171

Will send fotos when assembled
