After seeing Rajen's post on these $29 beauties I had to give one a try.
Arrived today and the straps are fantastic, well worth a look if this is the look and feel you are after.

And some colour splash.

And why would anyone be "after" that look? It makes your IWC look cheap. Success, if that was your aim.
Sorry, but IMO the watch doesn't match the strap, the colours work, but the watch looks too new for the knackered distressed NATO, And the pre-V buckle is too 'fat' to my eyes, but that could be bias as I dislike that style of buckle anyway
Agree! Love the watch, hate the strap. :)Quote:

I also agree...strap looks dreadful.
That would be an alternate universe as opposed to a parallel one surely?Quote:

(Also not too keen on the strap as well)
Yep, that's the law according to multiverse theoryQuote:

p.s. awful strap, sorry.
Sorry. Me too, not a good look.
The forum member who bought my VW Golf via SC last year (sorry, cant recall who this was) was wearing a distressed NATO with his military chrono when he picked the car up and it looked good. This was however a naturally distressed one through age and use - perhaps its just really difficult to replicate the effect?
Corrrr, listen to you lot, it's fantastic, the 3741 is old and beat up it suits the strap.
Right, better get my coat.

Sorry have to add that strap and IWC combo doesn't work at all. The IWC should be on a Black Leather or a Bracelet. The buckle on that strap is also out of scale with the watch
Super watch but just doesn't go with the strap.
Nothing wrong with the watch. Nothing wrong with the strap. But they probably shouldn't be sharing the same wrist.
On reflection, I'm in some doubt as to whether the buckle and the strap are a good match either.
Back in Black.
I do like the the black ali and the IWC buckle is class.
But I am still in love with the canvas.
