Replacement deployment buckle on RG ROO
I've got tiny wrists (6 inches) and the deployment buckle is the only thing that stops me wearing this 24/7... how much would I be looking at to replace it with a pin buckle & strap?

Give APSC a call. I hate to be that guy but it’s deployant
I would guess you’re looking at maybe 1000-1500 pounds? I really have no idea.

Maybe a dumb suggestion - but have you tried reversing the clasp, in addition to having the short strap? It makes a huge difference in my experience.

I also reversed straps on every 42 ROO I’ve ever owned and makes it much more comfortable.

Reversing it sounds like an awesome idea - I’d often thought how much easier it would be!
Possible stupid question - how do I go about doing this? Are there any guides/videos about? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

My old man changed the strap on my AP to the XS before so he should be able to help.... is it a case of swapping the whole strap round?

Yes, you can also use one end from each of the two straps you presumably now have, to find the best fit, try all combinations.

Haha, I’m not a lady, but I do have lady sized wrists! When I bought my Dayton, the guy called me to double check the measurement - said it was the smallest watch he’d sized Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Do you mean for a ROO? I’ve seen a few in Chrono24, but failing that I’d say a local AD Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
