IWC AMG Titanium Chronograph Strap Advice desperately required!

I have a IW3725-04 (or is it 03 I have no idea).

I really want to change the strap. The watch came with a synthetic strap that was always cracking. It cracked so often that IWC replaced it for free twice during my 1st 2 years of ownership. I eventually purchased the titanium bracelet, but now I want to change the look of the watch.
I would like to put it on rubber or matte black leather, but I cannot find any strap makers for this model watch at all!

Does anybody here have any advice or experience??

This is the model I have


I do not wear it much anymore since my daytona and AP get more wrist time. But this was my 1st real watch and it has alot of meaning to me. I believe changing the strap would make it feel completely different.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/IWC-Ingenieu...-/221838528073 – have a chat with this chap. He's in your neck of the woods, so should make it fairly straight forward and simple to sort something out.

I will ask this guy immediate! Thanks PJS!!

[waisoserious]

If anybody has any other suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated. I very much want to change my strap/bracelet.

I do not know if any of the people I contacted will respond. It does not seem like they update their pages very often (outside of APBands who doesnt make it and the eBay seller).

The seller said it should fit my watch but according to my measurements the lugs are not the same size. Can anybody here confirm if it does or does not fit?

That's the one in the second link in my post above.
What dimensions did you get when you measured yours?

[waisoserious]

I used a micrometer. I measured 26mm outer, 15mm inner, 18mm at the buckle.

The dude on eBay from Taiwan called me back. I will call him after work and see what options he has available.

Contacted him. Hes in Taoyuan. He said it will take 3 weeks. Will most likely try him out. I need to send him my strap for him to measure though.

Buckle width means nothing, unless you prefer the shorter width.
If the rubber is only 13mm, then you've the option to shave a mm off each side to make it fit yours.
