    Best wishes to all, this is my first post on the IWC forum.

    I'm looking for information as to whether the velcro strap and bracelet links from the Aquatimer are compatible with the split minute, has anyone tried this?

    Also, what is the reference number for the velcro and rubber straps?

    Many Thanks

    Welcome to the forum

    I dont have a new workbook at hand at the moment - but if the dimensions are the same as the GST Aquatimer the answer is yes......I am sure you will get some fast responses before I get to my workbook.

    not 100% sure

    Hi Dominic and Andrew,

    The lug width is listed as the same, but there still may be a size/fitting difference.

    For rubber straps, the regular AT rubber strap is IWA 15761 and the Split Minute uses IWA 15881. I believe that there is a slight difference in how the straps fit at the lugs. I likewise would think that the parts to use the nylon/velcro would have a slightly different fit.

    It might be possible to "force-fit" the strap, without perhaps a perfect curve at the lugs, and candidly I would gamble. Or better yet find a cooperative dealer who would allow you to try at the dealership (which might be difficult since it's a special order accessory).

    Regards,
    Michael

    Do you have the reference numbers for the Velcro and also the Rubber with the Ti end links that was produced for the Deep One? (I think!)

    just to save me time, could you...

    just do a search of the IWC Workbooks? They are in there and I would need to do the same search. A link is below.

    Thanks,
    Michael
