That's actually an aftermarket strap on my iwc. It's from an eBay seller named soulsis78556h - $35 bucks and it's real gator and amazing quality for the price..
I needed something I could get quick while I waited for a custom strap to be made.

It's 22/16 instead of 22/18 like the iwc so I couldn't use the iwc buckle.

The iwc strap came with the same config though. I don't remember if the logo was upside down or not.

IWC has always been tip towards wearer.

The breguet should be normal, tip away from wearer. They put your strap on backwards, aflop

I'm thinking it might just be this model because I even tried to flip the buckle head around but it won't snap shut properly!

I particularly want an automatic tourbillon and the only one I can find is an IWC Portuguese style. Not a problem as I like them but I've read elsewhere on this site that IWC chronos with the secs @ 6 have a reliability issue as the 7750 movement is designed for the secs @ 9. Does that apply to thhe tourbillon version does anyone know? Also are there any other auto tourbillons out there?

Actually, I've just realised it's a Seagull tourbillon. Is this reliable?

Different movement altogether. You won't have problems with sec@6.

pure-time often copy/paste descriptions for watches that are low volume, you can clarify with them via email, im pretty sure that breguet is an automatic, its been discussed on this forum plenty of times

Nice strap, but why yellow stiching and not gold? Donerix does do that...

It is true that stitching gold would have been better.
But I long sought a strap good quality in black with not too small scales.
It was the only one I've found but in yellow stitching.

Master, that one is the IWC portu regulator tourbillon. The rep of that one came out at the same time as the model I have.

Functions same as gen.

I really like it. But the gap between the subdials and the tourbillon ring is too wide. But other than that lovely piece.
Is this one Auto too or manual wind. I believe the gen is a manual wind.

Same layout as breguet and previous VC models. PR at 12, tourb at 6
