I dealt with the same problem not long ago

while trying to find the rubber strap for IWC 3527. The issue is that rubber straps from that era have metal inserts which must match the grooves of the watch case.

One thing to keep in mind is that if you buy a strap directly from IWC they are returnable if unworn and tags are intact.

Not only because they haven't been made for a long time but NOS might not be in good condition. That said, try these guys at Strapsco, they say out of stock which could mean entirely gone or just waiting for a new shipment. strapsco.com
