  • Strap change for IWC Big Pilot

    Can any of our bros here educate us on how to change the
    strap for the BP and where to get aftermarket leather
    straps for the BP.

    You can order online from people like Aaron Tan or try The Watch Boys.

      I have 2 sets of BP-style straps custom-made by Aaron (i.e., hktan) for my GO Senator Navigator ...





      Also bought one set of buffalo straps from TWB ...

        Beautiful straps (watch too). How to do
        the strap change for the BP. Do I need
        some special tools?

          You will need a spring bar removal tool. Here are some:

                      rivets?

                      He told me he had problems finding the rivets for BP but you should give him a try! I am one happy customer, strap even better than orginal one!

                        Non Deployant Straps for BP

                        I felt this too good to miss from StrapCode (aka Taikonaut) in HK under their Adventure section for US$48.99 only :

                        22mm Military style with rivet lugs in thick calf leather in cinammon tan.

                        http://www.strapcode.com/store/rivet...ap-pi-720.html

                        Previously ordered an affordable 24mm strap replacement for the Pam 183 with no complaints.


                        “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.”
                        Abraham Lincoln (American 16th US President from1861-65, who brought about the emancipation of slavery from 1809-1865).

                        “Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
                        Watch your words, for they become actions.
                        Watch your actions, for they become habits.
                        Watch your habits, for they become character.
                        Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”
