IWC Schaffhausen

Hello everyone,
This is my first post on the forum and I would like to say hello to all the IWC collectors!
I have been visiting this forum for a while now since I too have a real passion for IWC time pieces…
My collection includes: an IWC Aquatimer "Cousteau Divers" Edition - Ref- 3548-06 and an IWC top gun chrono 3880 (I love everything about this watch.. yes, even the multiple date you all despise so much :)) (also a few others in my collection including a Rolex SS Daytona, and 2 breitlings..). Will send pics once I get icloud stream to work...

Now for my inquiry
I am currently in NYC for work and have visited the great IWC boutique store on Madison. I was looking for a classier strap option for my top gun and they offered me the big pilot leather strap (In black)... which seems like a good idea but the lady at the store said that neither she nor any of her colleagues have seen this combination before. I personally think that it’s a good match but would like some of your opinions on this combo?
Thanks

If it works for you then go for it. Just remember the collar and cuffs rule...black shoes and black belt if you have a black strap

OK, but is it acceptable if my socks still don't match each other?

It didn't.. I got the Portuguese auto strap in black, way more elegant than the pilot leather. Looks great! thx

I've been living life on the edge, sometimes even wearing a brown strap with black shoes and belt. I feel that I've been set free. ;)

Sure Dick, it's fine if the socks don't match. You can always use "color blind" as a fallback.

Mixing colors is far better than unknowingly leaving your "fly" down. Color blindness won't work on that one.
