    Hi Everyone,

    On a recent trip to South Korea, I walked into the duty free shop and fell in love with the IWC, I was in Korea for a week, so I had lots of time to walk around Seoul and look at all the watches they had to offer.. no matter how hard i looked at different brands of watches.. i still came back to the IWC counter.

    So i ended up purchasing a "Pilots watch Chronograph" with a leather strap,

    I was also thinking about purchasing a TOP GUN strap for it as it came with a leather one.. anyone know wear i could purchase one for a good price.

    Thanking you in advance.

    Mike

    Greetings Mike,

    Welcome to the Forum. First, allow me to say congratulations on acquiring the Pilot Chrono ( which model, 3717,3777 ? ). I can tell you from personal experience that the "Top Gun" soft strap paired with the Pilot Chrono makes for one beautiful watch. I have the 3717 with that strap. It's a favorite.

    Rules of the Forum restrict the discussion on pricing or references to specific Retailers/Distributers or other sales channels including 4 sale/wanted announcements. With that said, any Authorized Dealer (AD) or IWC Boutique will be happy to assist you in ordering the strap you seek and in the length that fits you best (XS , Standard, XL ).

    Once you receive your new strap, please share with us a pic of how it looks. If you don't, you owe us all a drink. LOL. Seriously, enjoy your new Pilot and again, welcome to the Forum.

    Regards,

    Andy

    Congratulations.

    Mike...the 3777 will look teriffic with the Top Gun strap. If you want to consider additional strap options, a ref. 21700 St. Exupery Brown strap would also add to the beauty of the 3777.

    Enjoy that first IWC, just make sure you get a watch box that will hold the many more coming your way.

    Best,

    Andy
