Broke my rubber strap of my IWC Cousteau Tribute to Calypso

[Rlxg]

Hey everyone !
I have a beautiful rep IWC Cousteau(i'm gonna upload some pictures) (i didn't buy that watch)
i think the watch hasn't been worn much and the strap has been fragilized but whatever, there's a small tear on the rubber, i tried to fix it with some rubber glue but it's not working very nice lol, i think the solution is to order a new strap but i couldn't find a place to buy the same strap, if someone knows and could help me i appreciate that !
I attach a picture to see which strap i'm looking for (it's not my watch on the picture)
Thank you
Have a good day

You could either email a TD to check if they still have this particular strap in stock (which I doubt), otherwise you'll have to source an aftermarket one on eBay search for IWC 26x16 strap. There are also a few gens on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-...160450?hash=item46a54f7c02:g:xAoAAOSwUeBeBmIH

Hi offpink, thank you for your answer, yes i know it's very hard to find an other one ! it's a beautiful rep, (valjoux 7750 inside) and high finition but i think it's too much to buy a gen strap

An unbranded one would be your best bet in that case, however if you plan on keeping the watch for another 5 years I think the gen will be more than worth it! You know what they say, buy nice or buy twice.
