My new and stunning IWC 5001 on Jacob strap *no more strap gap*

Have a look at the gen:

THe datewheel is not centered on this GEN

Exactly. And the 0 of the hour marker 10 is misaligned too. :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

This is a gen? Look at the date wheel, not perfectly aligned? Or is it just because of the angle the photo was taken?

btw, i felt weird about the gap hole when i received my rep but i kinda ignored it... and your strap makes me... jealous

Yes, it's a gen, photo taken at an AD. I just posted it to show how über-picky some people are regarding the reps.

Sorry, gen IWC straps are 4mm @ the case...

I know. But this looks cheap in my eyes... I love thick straps, not padded, thick.

Indeed I think the dark brown fits the watch way better than the black one, congratulations, plus Jacob is undoubtfully one of the best strap makers on the planet :thumbup:. Personally I'd rather have it padded though, like the gen.

Am I the only one who dislikes padded straps? I purposely ordered it without the padding as I think the straight thick alligator looks more classy and dressy. Just my opinion..

Apparently the majority - as well as, very obviously, the manufacturers themselves - view it exactly the other way around. Chacun a so gout though.

I like padded for this iwc, because the watch head is so simple.. i like simple no pad thick for AP because the watch head with chronos looks very "complicated"..

I know. But this looks cheap in my eyes... I love thick straps, not padded, thick.

I am sure this was mentioned before but I can't find it. My PR indicator is stuck at 7, no matter if the watch is running or not. Is this something easily fixable?

Where can I order a "Jacob" strap and do you mind sharing what the cost was? Looking at gen straps but can't find the right size for brown.

Hi Phantomtech. Which TD did you get this particular colour combo from (SS with rose gold numerals and tan silver face)? Most TD I've seen have the SS with yellow gold numerals...
Thanks in advance.

 

[Variatio Delectat]

All of them actually have RG hands and hour marks, no YG ones around.

 

[KBTickTock]

Oh really? that's great to know. Makes my shopping easier. Been so distraught as to where I was going to get the rose gold marker version from haha. Thanks.

 

[Variatio Delectat]

You're welcome.

Can someone post the link to where I can get this exact strap? I have been looking for a dark brown curved strap for my IWC 7-day
