    Hello, new member here. I received a Mark XVII (ref. 3265) as a gift which came with the original aligator strap. I am relatively new to watches and am thinking of changing the strap to another one. Am I correct in assuming that the stock size is 20 mm at the lug, 18 mm further down, so I would need to find a compatible one.

    Does anyone know if IWC makes a Santoni style strap (black calfskin, black stitching, contrast underside) that would fit the Mark XVII, or perhaps a Big Pilot Kevlar style strap?

    If not IWC, do I have any good aftermarket options that someone can recommend?

    Hoping to hear from some more experienced IWC enthusiasts. Cheers!
