    While at the Boutique I picked up an IWC NATO strap and had it installed on my 3711 Doppel. Looks pretty good I must say. It's very comfortable as well. It previously was on the Beads of Rice Bracelet.

    The leather back to NATO is a welcome design execution.

    Beads of Rice Braclet is pretty snazzy too.

    Some time ago I also picked up a canvas strap for Giovanni's and my CFP (CF3). It really complements the dial and enhances the color of the hands and numerals. What do you think?

    If you haven't seen my update to my friend Giovanni's casebook engraving, here is what I was able to do. I engraved my name along with Giovanni's. His name will never be lost as I share his CF3 in his memory.

    Until now I was wearing it with a SS IWC Bracelet:

    Here is original leather strap.

    I love both the canvas and the Nato strap - "shoes"!
    Well done!

    Cheers Chris

    Both the NATO and the Sailcloth straps work perfectly - better than the originals in my humble opinion!
