AP ROO Rubber Clad Strap help!

Hi everyone,

new to the forum here, but I think its the best place to ask.

I have a AP ROO Black Rubber Clad.

The deployment buckle that came with the rubber strap is extremely uncomfortable, and rests on the SIDE of my skinny wrist.
After wearing for a short while, there is a painful mark on my wrist.

I changed to a Survivor rubber strap, but the smallest hole is still too big for me.

What options will you suggest? I would prefer to keep the rubber look to match the rubber look on the rubber clad, but I'm open to exploring new options so that my AP doesn't look like it's gng to fall off my wrist.

Of course, comfort too.

Thank you so much!

Hi,

Many members have had that problem withe the buckle, One tip is to reverse the band and buckle for a better fit.
You can also order a pin buckle for the standard strap at a AP AD.

Good luck!

Yup, reverse/swap the band so that the tail is facing inwards, or you can buy a third party double deploy clasp instead of a single like AP provided. I wonder why AP has not addressed this issue yet, theres been numerous complaints already..
