Hi.
I own an IWC Top Gun Pilot (IWC3789) and have an offer to buy a IWC Tropic Rubber Band. I think this will be a very nice combination, problem is only that the IWC3789 is 21mm while the Tropic is 22mm. I have heard the Tropic Band is relatively soft and the curved ends should also help. Any opinions if this will fit or not?
Thanks.
May I suggest the following option:
With "rubber" bands it is easy to shave the sides of the band at the springbar connection points. I have done this and it is a easy process to do. You won't need to remove much material equally from each side of the strap to make it properly fit . If one was to look at the finished product, unless told what was done, it would be very difficult to spot any alteration took place.
If you are considering the 22mm Tropic Rubber Band that was originally supplied with the Vintage Collection Aquatimer, it is a great strap.
