new mark XVII

i bought my first IWC , a mark XV in 2005. since then, i've sold off most of the rolexes as they are far too shiny for my liking ... IMO, the highly polished centre links and bezels have simply ruined the brand.

when i bought my mark. XV in 2005, i clicked on a link on IWCs website and received a free book from IWC , with a lot of the firms history and details of their watches.

i've just bought a mark XVII today, and try as i might, cannot find a link on the IWC website to order the latest free book. the only book i can find is for E200 !!

have IWC stopped the free book since 2005?

besides this, where can i get an original s.s. bracelet for the mark XVII online, for when i tire of the leather strap and want to go back to a S.S. bracelet?

regards and thanks.

You probably got the IWC catalogue. Don't know if you can order it, but is availavle as a download: media3.iwc.com/site_media/pdf/IWC_Catalogue_2012-13_EN.pdf

Also, contact any authorized dealer for a catalog. They also can help you order a bracelet. Many have their online contact info on the "retail" section of this website.
