Chris, you need one for your CF3. E mail if you are interested and I can point you in the right direction. It is perfection.
A couple more pics of the new strap.

I must admit to having a bit of a weakness for IWC, which started with the 812 (no group shots, unfortunately!):
Man! That is a seriously impressive group of Aquatimers! I'm jealous. I only have one.
I found the CF3 (actually several stores had pieces left) and I am going to purchase one as it is a beautiful time piece and I like the story behind it.
However, might be a stupid question as my IWC knowledge is still limited, but why is it so much more expensive than a regular IWC Pilot? Almost twice the cost - is it a different movement or why the difference? And will it then keep its value if it is "just" considered a pilot watch and you disregard the Collectors Forum story behind it.
Thanks!
Michael
mipecs has written:What a beautiful strap - was it custom-made and where? I am new here and immidiately fell in love with the CF3, but I can't find it anywhere - is it impossible to find a used piece for sale or?
For some time I have been thinking about an IWC and this CF3 piece looks like it might be the right entry to the IWC world for me :-)
Thanks for any guidance.
Welcome to the forum. Go for it! The CF3 is in all aspects an amazing timepiece!
The last time I saw one available in a Boutique was in December 2015 in the Tokyo Boutique.
Good luck and we look forward seeing a picture in the near future ;-)!Cheers Chris

Thanks - the group used to be larger but is gradually being 'slimmed down'.
I've been tempted by your model and, so far, been able to control my urges :)
Just joined the CF and thought i'd introduce myself with a picture.
Had a family dinner earlier today and took the chance to take this picture - three generations of my family and three IWC watches.
Welcome to the Forum BC25!
Wonderful selection of IWC spread through your generations. Wonderful stuff!!

+1 If VC then this comes first..., at least for my eyes ;-)!
Cheers Chris
Great pic Ben.
