    Hi,

    I got my wife a 3513 and was thinking of changing it to a leather strap. I
    think the bracelet version comes with straight springbars but does the leather
    strap versions come with curved springbars? I looked up some images of the
    leather strap versions online and I think they looked curved!

    Here is the mandatory pic
    haha

    Very nice pair.

    I don't think curved spring bars were available during the life of the 3513

    Thanks! I think they have straight spring bars too but I do see some curved
    ones out there, about 1 out of 10 so I assume those were retro-fitted.

    I'm more than certain the picture you just posted is not an IWC strap.
