AP ROO 42mm plots?

Hey guys i don't frequent the forums as much but just wanted to chime in and see if anyone knows where we spare plots can be bought?
I have the oem rubber strap on my 15703st as well as the metal bracelet with the 1.5link (it makes the bracelet fit like a charm). But now I was just wonder who would have spare plots so that strap changes would be easier say with a horus or leather strap?

thoughts?

I have never seen a 1.5 link. Would you be so kind to post a couple pictures?

They really need to do a 1/2 link vs 1.5 link..,i just went through this on my AP and i felt the damn 1.5 just ruined the look of the bracelet

How could they do 1/2 link? The plots or link connectors whatever you call them would touch and there would be no material to hold the link together?!

A better option would be to do 2x 1.25 links and mount each one either side of the clasp!

Meh.... I have one on my 15300... not a big deal and its on the underside of the watch. Rarely see it and once its on for a while, it tends to fade. I rarely even notice it anymore and really perfected the fit for me.

Dont know, tbh i was just thinking about rolex and patek that offer half links...but i see what you are saying.

Problem for me is that damn RO bracelet is so perfect, any anomalous sized link would stick out to me - like you suggest, something symmetrical on both ends of the clasp is probably best!

I second the vote for two 1.25 links. I can't stand when then Bracelet isn't symmetrical.

i'm not a fan of it either, but it makes the bracelet fit and feel perfect so i can live with it. plus like many said, it's on the other side anyway.
