Ok, all of your feedback has encouraged me to get a strap option. But now which one do I get? I really like both, but think the rubber might be a little too sporty for the dial, but also think the croc may be a little too dressy looking.

How about croc in dark blue? I'm toying with that option for my 26320. Blue against the silver...beautiful.

For a change up I think the croc looks best and keeps it classy esp on a white dial.

Very interesting. This might become an option down the road, but Clearwater didn't have any blue at the moment..

Claymie · 18 August 2013, 10:25 AM

Did you ask Clearwater about a strap conversion kit? We're they receptive?

Here's my ROC Panda on croc. The watch looks great on bracelet or strap. The band and end bits were bought from AP Bands.

I like the rubber

orangedial · 18 August 2013, 11:28 AM

Black croc with grey stitch might look good

VICI · 18 August 2013, 11:21 PM

I would def get the croc if you plan on wearing it for business and dressy situations.

If you're more sporty, get the rubber. I wouldn't.

TSW · 19 August 2013, 04:04 AM

Croc in blue would be my pick.

mart66 · 21 August 2013, 09:05 PM

Looks great on a strap. Do you have to buy a kit to have a strap fitted to that model?

It looks like I may have been inadvertently led on. Here's the string of emails I had with AP:

Email 1
Hi *****,
Hope you’re doing well. I have a 26320 and am interested in getting a strap. Are the croc and rubber options that were designed for the Messi available for sale? Any other options out there?

Response to 1
I can order either the black rubber or gray croco and deliver in 3-5 days.
$184 for the rubber, $434 for the alligator.

Email 2
How much would it be for all the additional stuff I’d need (deployment/buckle, plots, etc.)? Do you sell a conversion kit with the appropriate tools, etc.?

Response to 2
The conversion parts for the 26320ST are not available. It's a bracelet-only model. The straps are for the pink gold version. Sorry for the confusion.

Does this mean AP Bands is the only option? Or can I order OEM parts separately and pull this off (order plots, screws, Messi deployment, Messi strap, etc. separately just not as a single "kit")?
