    I suspect I'm on the hunt for hen's teeth. Short of searching for a complete
    watch (and it's associated cost), I am looking for bracelet links for the
    first series IWC/Porsche Design Titan chronograph, reference 3500, with the
    single pin connection. IWC has long ago (mid 90's) replaced both the one-pin
    and two-pin (reference 3702) bracelets with the reference 3704 bracelet, which
    has pins driven through the side of the link. I haven't tried contacting
    Superior Watch in New York USA lately, but prior efforts were fruitless.

    Does anyone have a resource for these links? I'm hoping to find individual
    links while I work up the courage to find a donor watch/bracelet. But I can't
    bear to have two Titans with one serving as a donor! Thanks in advance for any
    tips, hints, and clues. (I also apologize if I have posted this in the wrong
    place, or worse, if the post is not allowed and I have missed the rule).

    You could redeem yourself by posting pics of your lovely PD watch.......

    These belong to my PD Compass Watch

    Ah, the Compass. I remember it well. Wore one (gosh, just did the math) 25
    years ago! Seems like yesterday...

    I would love to show the Titan. But it's on it's way...

    i don't currently have any IWC, but I have had over a dozen in the past. The
    Titan has always been my favorite, but historically I find something else to
    distract me. The "incoming" will be Titan number five.

    Just spotted this Thread, checked my IWC sparepart box and found this.

    If you still need links, let me know your E-Mail.

    I just got word from a second member who was willing to help, but I managed to
    source some links on the big auction site from Italy (actually, the package
    came from Albania). I now have links to spare-I bought a partial bracelet with
    26 links (but needed only five). I'm so happy, as I was expecting to have to
    buy a whole watch to get those links!

    Many thanks to the wonderful members who were willing to part with some "hen's
    teeth." Consider my plea resolved!
