Hi fellas,
Thinking on to get an alternative strap for my pilot 3777, and the black soft strap like in the Top Gun collection comes into mind. Will it fit the size of 3777? Has anyone tried this combination?
Really appreciate if fellow members can share your opinion or pictures.
Thanks and regards.
Greetings JuJu_d,
Great choice you are considering for the 3777. The black nylon/leather lined Top Gun will definetly fit the 21mm lug of both the 3777 and 3717 models. There are a few sizes the Top Gun comes in so you will want to make sure you order the correct one.
The Top Gun is a favorite on my 3717 and another option and equally great looking is the St. Exupery Brown ref. 21700. Check that one out at your Boutique/AD. I think you will be pleasently surprised with each look.
Show us how things turn out,

Hi Andy,
Thanks a lot for the info. Another thing that amazes me with IWC is that how the watch will look differently just by changing the straps, and just look amazing with any straps, but maybe I'm a bit biased on this :)
Like what I did with my Portuguese 5001, from the formal look with the black strap, then totally change to a more casual look it with the light brown strap and both look equally amazing.
Thanks again, and surely will share how things turn out with the 3777 nylon strap.

Jun,
I agree completely how the look of a watch can change dramatically just by changing a OEM strap/bracelet.
When done successfully, it's like buying one watch and getting another free. I continue to be amazed at some of the combinations that members come up with that give a familiar model a new fresh look that in turn stirs up the "virus" within.
Look forward to seeing your results,
Andy
