Is is a white strap from AP or aftermarket? If aftermarket, where did you get it?

Looks like factory AP to me. Does anyone even make aftermarket straps for the quick change plots?

Love this watch with white.

I was offered the black and Taupe. I chose the black because it reminds me of Darth Vader.

Now based off this thread (and the other taupe strap color thread) this model has jumped towards the top of my list for consideration for my next purchase. The price being below retail doesn't hurt either.

With everyone raving about the dial though, am I missing something? Is taupe a bit of a misnomer? In most pictures the dial looks to be more of a smoked gray rather than taupe/khaki. On the other hand the stock strap is truly what I'd consider taupe.

In my mind taupe is a very boring, dated color - like regular old khaki pants. But this dial seems to not fit that description. Someone described the combination with the taupe strap as military, which seems appropriate to me. I would almost certainly switch immediately to the black strap and leave it.

Can someone comment on the true color of the dial itself, isolated from the strap? Would you call it taupe if AP hadn't done so first?

Whatever that color is... Taupe me guesses?

Honestly though in person it's not boring at all but not as loud as some real color options... Hits the sweetspot

When I have the watch on the taupe strap, my eyes are drawn to the stunning dial. When I have the black strap on, my eyes are drawn to the black bezel and the black sub dials for some reason. So, I prefer the taupe strap.

Is the grey ceramic rarer than the others? I seem to never see it listed for sale unlike the others.

[gregouille]

Yes it is much rarer because of the case being in Ti

I agree with you about the confusing color characterization. To me, beige is the initial impression I get; however, I can also see a smokey gray. Interestingly, when the taupe strap is on, it blends nicely with the dial. The textile looking light gray strap in the other thread also appears to blend nicely with dial. I guess this dynamism is what distinguishes this piece so much.

Taupe is spectacular in person. It would win my vote every time. You need to see it in person, in the sunlight…. It is glorious.

Between the Ti and Taupe, I think weight is an important consideration.
