Nice one, it looks pretty handsome too on bracelet. Give the croc strap a try too, this watch will feel/look different on croc straps.

Nice! Try it with leather, the size is 20mm, so it's quite easy to get a new strap.

Actually, I was torn between getting the 01 and 04. Eventually, I decided on the 04 cos the IWC bracelet is IMHO 2nd to none. Very comfortable. And I was really surprised at how easy it was to adjust/shorten the bracelet.

Well, I am never a bracelet kinda guy, but I have friends that would wear nothing but bracelet. BTW, my MK 16 is on leather & our watches look pretty similiar to the BigPilot, except the size & of course, it doesnt come with a 7Days power reserve. Still, the Mk 16 is such a beauty!

Here's my on a aftermarket strap by JNS Strap. Actually, I think IWC should improve their straps cos they really suck big time, except for the BigPilot!!

Can I know who are JNS Strap ? And where I can find them ? Online ?

Actually, I am not really a bracelet kinda guy too. But for some reason, I just luv the IWC bracelet. Thot it just matched the watch so well. Am thinking of picking up a leather strap and an original IWC buckle and use it sometimes just for the heck of it.

Surprise surprise ... on my way to work today, I saw a lady wearing a Mk XVI Classic on leather. Wow!

He's a strap maker staying in Jurong & he does his stuff in his HDB! Quite a nice guy & I like his work; probably more friendly than some of the strap makers I met! His wbsite is below & his contact is on it too. Good luck & just tell show him my strap & he will be able to costomise one for you. However, he doesnt have any IWC buckle, so you might wanna use an unbranded one till you find one on the net or something. The lug size is 20mm tapered to 18mm for the buckle, hope this help.

Ha...and I thought most local ladies only know Rolex & Gucci!
