    Is a stainless bracelet really not available for the Spitfire Double Chrono? I know the case size is slightly larger at 44mm versus 42mm for the standard Spitfire, but was the stainless bracelet never offered? I love the alligator band with which i recently replaced the original leather band, but would like to upgrade to a stainless bracelet if possible.

    Thanks Leo for the Reference number. I will see if IWC can help me to locate one. I have asked them before, and have been told by two different boutiques that there was not a stainless bracelet available.

    Now I'm being told that the reference you gave me is not available in the US, but the IWA13653 is supposed to be correct.

    I'm new on here and have a question about a ladies Supersportive 3330 Porsche design.I My wife has owned it since new, about 1985or6. In this time it has never missed a beat, the only problem, the rubber/plastic bracelet splits. 1st time I got a spare in Singapore. this time can"t find one anywhere. The bracelet is aprox 13 mm wide. The clasp (titanium) is perfect. The Aust dealer wants to send it to Switzerland for "scratches", which I can't see and are only normal wear and tear anyway, which gives the watch the character it should have after almost 30 years.
    Any suggestions where I might get a band or even 2 !!!

    You may want to have it sent to Switzerland and have it looked at. You should receive a quote for any work found to be recommended and/or optional. You can pick and choose what exactly you would like to have done - any repairs will have to be authorized first. Band replacement may be an option, and having a full service after 30 years might not be a bad idea either.
