    So I was experimenting with strap options for the vintage IWC I picked up and one of the ones I tried was this brown leather bund.. Now I have had different responses to the look but was wondering what others thought..

    So what are your thoughts? Like it or not?

    By the way I actually have it on this one at present..

    Not sure it lends itself to a bund, but it is a personal preference. It's a pretty wide bund though relative to the watch which may not help also. Beautiful watch though.

    I prefer the classic Strap.

    Like the others, I prefer the traditional strap, not the bund.

    Never really understood bunds and on that watch my heart goes more towards the classic...

    Not my cuppa but definitely a matter of taste and preference. I'd go for the classic strap.

    The tradditional brown leather strap, which I think is also a nice well suited colour.

    The bund makes sense on a military watch of its era. Yours is not such a watch. Sorry!

    I figured that this would be the general consensus.. Shame as it was actually quite comfortable on the bund.. Anyway, main reason for trying was because I had become used to the larger watches being sold these days..

    After a few days on the normal strap, I started to get used to its size and it now doesn't feel so small..
