Oh yes, all AP, was on the GP model.

Here's a thread with more options including leather.

Very nice. Does the alligator strap get much wrist time? Judging by how you were by a pool I'm guessing you did not hop in with the alligator strap?

Very nice. The combo looks good together. How do you like the feel of it?

I use the alligator from time to time and I like it but it’s not durable like the rubber and it’s certainly not waterproof.

Do you have a good fit with the alligator strap? Or the watch tends to slide to one side due to the weight?

With the alligator strap the watch moves marginally but not much, with the rubber strap it doesn’t move at all.

Thanks Ash. Been debating whether to add a brown alligator strap to my RG44. I think the rubber strap is still the best in terms of comfort.

The alligator changes the feel of the watch as it alters the sporty feel and makes it a bit more dressy.

Are the lengths of the holes on the alligator and rubber the same? I close the tang at the second to last hole on the regular size so I'm right on the borderline

I’m the same as you, second hole on the reg strap. I’m not sure if the holes are in exactly the same location but I use the second hole on the alligator too.

Definitely not as comfortable as rubber strap.
