Hi everyone,

I ve just got my portuguese zf and it is a really good and beautiful watch.
except maybe the buckle that is a bit "cheap looking".
do you have any good dealer to advice for a really good quality buckle, except original ones.

Thanks for your halp and take care !

Can you show a picture of your buckle? Normally the differences between rep and gen are very, very small.

Ah, ok, now I understand you correct. It's not the rep clasp is not close enough to gen, it's the clasp type in principle and you want an alternative style or type.

Sorry, then I'm out. No idea for you.

I agree with /usr I don't like the IWC deployment buckles. I think it is more my wrist size of 6.75". Looks like IWC is designed for larger wrists. I have not found anything yet but I am going to try a custom strap that positions the deplayant in a more comfortable position.

With a Portuguese you can use a normal buckle with a normal aftermarket strap without breaking the "style".

But please: don't do this with a Big Pilot! Terrible style in my eyes! A BP MUST be worn at a original folding strap and not be closed in the normal way, but facing the loose, longer end towards your inner side of your arm.

Sorry...
