    Where can I buy this strap?

    Ignoring the fact that this watch is a big fat fake, anyone know where can I get a strap like this?:

    I've seen these straps on e-bay...you ust have to look around...sorry I don't have more details..

    BTW, I like the looks of the watch, what makes you think it's fake?

    Re: Where can I buy this strap?

    I've had a good hunt around online & ebay with no luck. I did email the seller on ebay, but the response was in poor English & I don't think they understood my query - language barrier maybe!

    I'm not 100% certain that it's a fake, but the Ukraine/Eastern Europe is a hot spot for faked vintage military style watches. Off the top of my head - the chronograph dials are too small and the Heuer logo looks too big. The photocopy of the case back is obviously a photocopy of the actual watch for sale, not of old literature. Here is a thread about the dubious authenticity of this watch...

    Maybe some of the parts are genuine, and it's a nice looking watch, but I reckon it's not a 'pure' original. I'd have been happy to pay £100 or so for it as an 'interest piece', but with the knowledge that it's not 'right'.
    If you look at the sellers other watches they are very similar with different makers names on the dial. If you google the name/number of this watch there is no reference to it or any like it online.

    I could be wrong of course!!!

    Search watch bands on Ebay (in the Jewelry and Watches section) for "pilot".

    A few of the custom strap makers would be able to knock one up for you, or do a quick google search for custom 'bund' straps and the results will flood in

    I have some thin leather that would probably work out pretty well for one of those. Let me know!

    A man with one watch knows what time it is..
    A man with two watches is never quite sure.
