kgbAgent Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipSlap Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 I think this one is pretty handsome: http://www.internationalwatchman.com/ostba...SSEOSTRICH.html Tobacco or cognac for your color scheme. I have ordered from them, but only recently, and haven't received the band yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChipSlap Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChipSlap Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Well, my package from International Watchman arrived. http://www.internationalwatchman.com/sport...APSBUFFALO.html 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
