I found it on line and wanted to know if anybody can advise me if it is original or not. I do not care about the watch, I am interested in buying the bracelet only. You can find some pictures at the following link:

Hi Matteo,
My opinion only - the bracelet is original.
FYI: Each pic needs img at the beginning, and /img at the end, put inside brackets like these [ ]

comparred it to my bracelet on a doppelchrono from 2004. Mine has 2 pins holding each link where it seems the one on the pics has one per link, so I am not sure. perhaps someone more knowledgable can comment on that?

Hi Matteo, as Shing has already pointed out, the bracelet is original IWC but does not belong in its genuiness to a Mk XV. Here are the bracelet versions which belong to the Mk XV: The steel bracelet on the right is first the mean the second later one of the Mk XV.
TEOF74 - This is identical to the bracelet on my Mark XVI. It isn't the new bracelet from the Mark XVII as the area where the clasp fastens is much larger on the new one and the "IWC" has a box around it.
You can find some pictures at the following link:
