Help me decide my next strap color

I have the new 44mm novelty ceramic (gold markers, black dial, blue-tipped sub-dial hands) and looking to start playing with new strap ideas. I will going OEM, and would love some input from the crowd on what I should get.

I wonder if AP will custom make it. Would be a perfect combo with the PT 44mm.

There seems to be 2 blue straps -- one is a darker navy and one is more of a blue blue. I'm not sure which would be closer, but this photo, credit Nop Srinara, shows a great example. I'm not sure if that is OEM since the grooves in the strap seem to extend down farther than my OEM, but I like the color:



The 42mm strap, here, seems a little duller (or just the lighting?)

Here are some blue straps to compare. I think the middle one looks best.

They do if you are willing to wait!

I’ll let Ash chime in for the finer details but sure he’s been waiting quite some time and still hasn’t received his custom blue GP.

Hello Ash,

How long has it been since you put in the order?

Can you share a price quote? PM me instead if you prefer :-)
