    Dear all,

    I am keen on getting an IWC 329001, the current series of IWC aquatimer diver. However, I understand that the quick strap change system meant that you are only able to use either IWC rubber strap or the steel bracelet. My questions are:
    1) Does IWC continue to support and provide the straps for this particular strap change system even after the series has been discontinued. My worry is that the rubber strap breaks and I cannot get one in the future.
    2) Are there other available options for the straps for this quick change system other than the IWC rubber strap and steel bracelet.

    Appreciate comments and inputs please!

    Thanks all!

    I've got the IWC 329001 as well on rubber strap, but instantly chanched the original rubber strap for the one issued with the chronograph. 
    it is longer and better for actual diving. but then when I dove in colder water, I soon discovered that that strap is also to small to put over a wetsuit.
    the solution was getting the rubber strap IWE01593 it looks better and is more functional.
    perhaps a hint for IWC to issue straps that work during actual diving instead of looking good at the office (just my opinion)
    cheers
