AP Bracelets Styles
Hey all,
I've been looking to get a AP Dual Time 26120ST and noticed that there are 2 different types of bracelets - One with the AP logo and the other style with the full name, reference pics attached. Both are F series and full box and papers from a reputable local dealer. There are various pictures with both types of bracelets on chrono24 too. Is there a specific year that the bracelet was updated? Since both series are the same F series, possible that the bracelet was replaced? Any difference in feel and finish? Thanks in advance! |

I have never seen the first one on the top. Looks cool though.

Can’t remember exact change over from the top or older one to the bottom or newer one. I can tell you that the newer one is much better IMHO with a sturdier feel to it.

the second one isn't the new one either. They changed the screw setup on the clasp so there are no longer screws on the actual pusher.

The first iteration with the "AP" wings had some issues when it was initially released. The clasp was longer and it fit awkwardly on people with smaller wrists (which was part of the reason I sold my 15300 back in 2009.) AP eventually released a shorter clasp which sat better on the wrist.
The new generation clasp IMO is a better design - it is less clunky and thinner from what I remember. |
