16570 on woven, yes or no?

[Rori]

No, no way and it's not size related. I love 40 42 mm watches on Laddie's wrists. This model however is not for girls in my opinion.

Yes looks better than with a bracelet actually.

As a change up I like it.

[gummy]

Yes

Great watch and great change up

Amazing the division of opinion!! I first used one of these straps, two piece nato on a IWC mark XII that travelled the world with me. Once the strap gets worn in, after a few washes, it becomes supple and even more comfortable to use. It’s perfect for warm weather and makes the watch a bit less loose on the wrist without snugging down too much. I also prefer this format over the more traditional over/under NATO’s that add a whole lot more height to the watch making it offen top heavy/look disproportionate. Will be staying on for a little while :) edantes, send me a message and I’ll share the link where I got the strap from.

The 16570, especially the polar, is probably the only model in recent memory that looks better on almost anything besides the bracelet it came with.

Not sure I understand to your post?

[flat4th]

It looks great

[subtona]

Op what brand of strap are you using? Do you have another pic?


Been through many aftermarket straps... this one is all time favorite nylon strap.



I have so many Natos and think they are a great look but I don’t like adding the thickness under the watch case. The current two piece is perfect and exceptional quality .

I mean that many thinks that big watches are not for ladies and that a lady watch should not be bigger than 28mm. Some may accept a 36...
To me it’s all the opposite, I love big watches on girls wrists. You know, girls wear their watches with a different set of mind than us, to them, it’s more of a fashion expression and therefore they manage to make big watches look so good on their wrist.
That being said, I find the explorer to be so rough for a girl’s wrist.

Perhaps you misread the thread title?

16570 on woven (strap) not 16570 on women hehe (although I’m sure my partner would gladly put the explorer on when I’ve not got it out).

Oops, misread it completely.
In this case, yes, it looks so fine. :-)
