They clean off pretty well and dont stain. However, I have a feeling they will start to "creme" in 3+ years. We will see.

Sure, and apologies, as I was probably being a bit of a pedant here

I’d love to see the ROO Taupe on White too as it’s on my radar for sure. Generally keep the Taupe strap on and rarely wear the Black one so a White would give me more options.

Now that I said what I said, a pair of new blue jeans stained the white strap. Most of it came off with some scrubbing.

Interested in seeing how the white looks on the Black dial ROO. You have any pics you can post?

Nice!

Assume it's from AP? I'm looking into what other detachable straps are available for my own ROO 43 at the moment.......be that from AP or 3rd parties.

I would like a strap on my 26574QP, but AP doesn't support that anymore! Does any body here know what strap from what other model could fit?(assuming the case is not so much different than other refs, and mayby other straps will fit. Must buy it on the secondary market then.

Is there a red rubber strap for offshore 43mm now? How can I order one? I asked the SA not long ago and was told red color wasn't available.

I ordered both new straps from my boutique over the past two weeks - I’d check again

A strap color that I’d really like to see is Orange.
I wonder if that can be done as a custom order??

I've talked to AP in Clearwater and orange is a frequent request so hopefully there is one available in the near future.

The quick changes are so easy and convenient now, I wanted to switch on my Cartier the other day and was short of time and so I ended up doing it while on the toilet, TMI I know, but I hit two birds with one stone.

Is the bezel on your ROO chipped down at 5 o’clock? If so, what happened?

Omg that's giving me anxiety! I want to know the story too! Will AP cover that with their new 2 year coverage?

Glad to hear :-)

Side note....how good could a version of this watch be with other smoked dials. Like the "swimming pool" blue from the tourbillion, with a titanium case

What boutique got you the red strap?
Clearwater says they know nothing about any straps not listed as available on the AP website

I talked to Betsy a couple of weeks ago and she mentioned the new straps that aren't yet on the website. She was also the one telling me that orange was being requested a lot.
