15300 on Strap

Have had a blue dial 15300 for awhile but am generally not a fan of bracelets. Just back from a service and think it may be a good time to change it up.

Thinking of converting to strap or even rubber but can't for the life of me figure out what it should go on. Was going to try one of the Rubber B straps but it seems it's only available with the velcro closure which I'm not a fan of.

Any thoughts, pictures, etc?

Thanks in advance.

Watching this thread with interest as I have considered this conversion also, but have had the same thoughts as yourself OP regards the velcro on the Rubber B.

I do love the RO bracelet, I just like to mix things up.

Mixing things up is one thing, but buying a 15300 if you’re not a fan of bracelets is odd. The ROO Diver might have been a better choice.

OEM City of sails strap will fit. You need plots though

just get a factory deployment and strap.

I've always felt AP is missing that middle ground. clean beautiful case with rubber strap, like the Aquanaut. then i realise you can just get that from the official AD.

Whilst googling that strap, I came across a post back in 2019 where you also answered this very same question with the same answer

Got this on ebay from seller for $30 incl shipping

https://www.ebay.com/itm/27mm-Black-...-127632-2357-0

Not the greatest in terms of fitment, but I removed it because I didn't like how it looked on the rubber.

Don't do it. Bracelet is such a big part of the RO.

I have a 15500 and bought the AP-made conversion kit (plots), deployant clasp, and blue alligator strap. Swapping between the bracelet and strap is time consuming but easy. Just know that regularly swapping between the bracelet and strap means you will inevitably put hairline scratches near the screws that connect the case to the strap/bracelet.
