New watch in(ge)coming and need help with strap choice

Hi guys, 

I have a new watch incoming and its not the Big Pilot as it was planed. 
Got the chance to get a mint IWC Inge (Ref 3227-01) and I just could not resist. =)
Will receive the Inge on Friday on the braclet but already got the recommendation to buy the matching rubber strap, too. Could imaging that it will look pretty cool on rubber and a great idea for the summer and to reduce weight a bit if needed. 

But now my question. Does anyone know if there is an IWC rubber strap for the Inge 3227 and what the reference for the strap would be?

Also all pictures of your strap alternatives for the Inge are welcome. =)

Cheers,
Adrian

Adrian, I dont have the Ref. numbers for the strap available, but besides the rubber strap there is a nice textile strap available as well.

This strap originally came on the 3227 Titanium (3227-02 I believe).  I wore it on my steel 3227-01 for quite a while and loved it, although I eventually went back to the bracelet.  It was a totally different watch on the strap, and a very pleasant experience.  I recommend giving this strap a try.

Thanks for the reply, Dick. This strap is actually looking very nice. Is it textile/leather or textile/rubber?
Would you know the reference?

@ Patrick I guess thats the one you were talking about?

Congratulations Adrian on the incoming 3227 - you gonna love it!!

Dick thanks for the fabric strap recommendation. It looks fabulous!
Now i’m Thinking of sourcing one....

I don't think that there is a rubber strap that fits the 3227. The existing rubber straps are either too small (for Ref. 3239) or too big (for Ref. Ref. 3236, for example). The fabric strap is certainly a good option and the part number is IWA18932 (medium length). It is made of Nylon without rubber or leather insert. 

However, I am quite sure that you will enjoy your metal bracelet so much that you do not want to replace it :-)

Exactly that is the one I mean 

I am not sure of the part number, but if I recall the strap was nylon.  It was the original equipment on the 3227-02 so I'm sure an IWC Boutique could find the appropriate part number.

It looks great on 3227-01 because the texture of the strap picks up the texture in the dial surface.
