Need help finding a deployant for these iWC straps
So I have a few Santoni straps. The new design with the very short end at 6, I am planning on using them on other watches such as the double split and a few Vacherons.
What would you recommend as a suitable solution for the deployant? I would prefer a non IWC branded option as it would be weird to have an IWC logo opposite Lange for instance.
I am absolutely in love with the quality of the straps, it’s just the weird deployant specification that’s annoying me.
Thanks for any advice

18 mm at the buckle is standard on this type of deployant regardless of type of strap
