Responding to Ruckdee strap Reverso
Thanks for the info, im new using forums. You mentioned copies of the JLC straps. I also got a Master Compressor Extreem World Alarm "Tides of Time" LE in 18k Rose and I have the same problem with that watch. It has a genius quick release strap system, I have tried regular straps but you need a curved end just for regular straps. But the real JLC has a big rubber piece in it to make it flush and it works. But $400 for a rubber strap, ill pay $25k for an in house 18k movement but not $400 for a rubber strap that costs them $10 to make. .......Do you know of a of brand or "copy" place where I can go for these straps....Thanks in advance.Fred

I have seen one acquaintance putting on aftermarket strap on a Squadra.
It didn't look right to me. But if you can find one that is thick enough on the wider side (between the lugs) and thing enough on the narrow side (to fit into the deployant clasp) then I think it is worth a try. Personally, I think the watch will look bes...

I don't have specific brands to suggest. But what I do usually...
...is I give my original strap to a local crocodile farm, tell them what I want (color, finishing, etc.) and wait one month. I paid around USD 80 for the brown strap below, for example. The original black from IWC is too long for my use. I asked my strap ...
