Let's hear it for IWC

Apologies, thought you meant it was just the EasX ones you found uncomfortable.

I assume non EasX straps fit on the factory pins ok?!

It’s the EasX straps I find uncomfortable as the strap is stiff at the ends where the clip is which creates a hard spot. If you have a different shaped wrist you probably would not find the same.

So I just use a standard strap.

Ok. I have ordered black rubber and canvas straps off AliExpress to see how they look before committing to something better quality.

Happy with the black.

I’m not finding this an issue on my BP43.

I suspect it’s just down to me being fussy. I wore them for about 9 months before I changed.

Annoying really as I like the system.

Love my Portuguese 5001-09 - had it 15 years, will never sell it

One of the most stunning watches ever made IMHO.

I went through a big Aquatimer phase for a few years, sadly all now gone as they all wore just that little bit to big. Love the brand, and really want one of their pilots watches next - either a Mark XX or a pilots chrono (not sure which one) A 3227 Inggy has been one of my "grails" for years as well!
