  • Alternative Strap for IWC Mark XV - Rubber / Nylon

    My wife recently surprised me with a IWC Mark XV - hooray..happy happy joy joy - and I was thinking of getting an alternative strap for this beautiful piece. I am wondering does anyone know of any place that sells either rubber or nylon straps for IWC Mark XV.

    Appreciate your kind comments folks!

    wah congrates congrates!!

    u managed to find a brand new one? Is this the Spitfire or the classic pilot?

    nylon you can try gnonomewatches to get their zulu straps? For rubber, a bit hard cos the lug size is 19mm. Its possible to find leather straps but for rubber so far I oso cant really find..

    Prob can try finding used seiko straps. Some seiko straps are also 19mm.

            Hi Steven,
            Bro Exxondus is correct, the Mark XV lug is 19mm, and if you're using the deployant or normal buckle, it's 16mm, so make sure you get a 20 or 19mm that tapers down to 16mm.
            I was lucky to find 20/16mm straps to fit my Mark XV from my neighborhood shop at only $14! : )

                Bro Exondus,
                Haha, you're quite sharp. For my first Mark XV, I bought the strap at $38 from JW Watches, a very nice almost Kevlar-like, water-proof strap that fit perfectly, but I sold it off, spare strap and all.

                Last week I bought another classic Mark XV (thanks to your recommendation, been meaning to thank you but had no time to post until today) so I toured around my neighborhood shop yesterday and found the Paros brand at $14 including free 19mm spring bars to replace the original IWC curved ones.

                So I guess if any bros/sis is not too fussy, the neighborhood 'Paros' brand straps that range from $14-20 are quite good-looking and value for money : )

                    Thanks bro! I appreciate better the beauty of the Mark XV classic over the Mark XVI because of you. Now thinking of getting the Mark XV 'normal' spitfire to complete the collection : )

                        Not much of a problem & they take about 10 to 14 days to send it over as they are located in Canada.

                        Hey, btw I am looking for a strap for my Top Gun too. I bought 2 Kevlar straps from TheWatchBoy but didnt like it too much as it looks kinda small for a 44mm watch! As for the leather one, I dont think it will look good on the PVD too. I heard someone is selling some custom made ones with rivets, that might be a good bet.
