    Hey guys

    Fallen in love with the blue dial Petit Prince IWC's in the pilot range but at the same time want a sporty looking watch and I'm personally not a big fan of the brown calf leather straps...

    So wondering if anyone know if you can get either textile but preferably the great looking embossed calfskin straps for any of the bigger Petit Prince watches (43MM and above) i.e. the PILOT'S WATCH CHRONOGRAPH EDITION “LE PETIT PRINCE” (www.iwc.com/en/collection/pilots/IW377714/)?

    I asked in one of the shops here in Singapore and they just said no, but I'm not sure they actually know what they were talking about :-)

    I also saw this limited edition which in my POV looks super awesome: www.iwc.com/en/collection/pilots/IW502003/ and can see that the Chrono spitfire has a textile strap option: www.iwc.com/en/collection/pilots/IW377719/

    Appreciate your reply :-)

    I put the Kevlar strap on mine... I think it looks great.. I popped into an IWC boutique in dubai and they gave me a few options...

    Hey Mark

    Oh wow, so the guys I spoke with here in the flagship store obviously didn't know what they were talking about. Do you have a picture you can share and was there anything specific in terms of the options they gave you?

    Best,

    Lars

    Hey

    Would you believe my watch started going slow so it's in for a service so no. Photos I'm afraid. They offered two or three leather (Santoni??) options and the Kevlar one. They also offered a new buckle addition which makes the strap more like the buckel bracket on some of their bigger pilot watches..

    Sorry about the photo..

    Still waiting on it. I'm told a full service takes a month or so.. :(
