Alternate straps for AP 15400 Stainless Steel
Guys, from what I heard, AP 15400 in steel can't have a rubber strap replacement. But on Instagram, I have seen some AP 15400 in alternative strap so I was wondering if you could have like a rubber strap.
I saw the APbands website but is it legit? |

You can buy the rubber strap from AP directly or APbands but they dont carry rubber, instead they have a nylon water resistant.

I provided the info only a matter of days ago on the part numbers needing to be asked for – have a look through my posts.
You only need to then speak with APSC in Clearwater, Florida, and they’ll advise on the correct straps applicable. The blue rubber and croc comes from the Tribute to Italy Ltd Ed model. The black and grey rubber have been made for something else, presumably. |

Im in the process of putting together a leather strap for my 15400ST, the way that I see it is the convenience of having 1 watch with 2 looks, it takes about 5mins to swap from one to the other and all set. For example for a suit I would preffer the leather strap over the bracelet, just a matter of taste.

Weiss, here is my SS Openworked on an original AP black gator on tang buckle. It is nice to be able to switch back and forth between the bracelet and the strap.

Leather strap don't look bad, but I wouldn't wear this watch with anything other than its original bracelet.

Velcro is a matter of personal preference, but I do think the rubber coming up into the watch that way as an extension of the straps is a clever design, as well as the tapering adding a nice subtle detail. Can’t attest to the quality of their straps or on the wrist feel, but visually from that angle it’s a great look.

To me, it creates a near perfect watch. It’s actually taken over wrist time from the 5726. I did not see that coming.
