First AP Incoming of the year
Super excited about this incoming. I've been eyeing this piece for some time and finally pulled the trigger.

I know I'll miss it, but I let the RG44 go. I wanted something a little slimmer that I can wear with a suit. The CE44 is still in the collection so I can get my ROO 44 fix still.

I need to make a decision on the strap. I am planning on going with one of the following strap choices.

1. Black Croc strap
2. Black Rubber strap
3. Dark Blue Rubber strap.

What do you guys think?

Congratulations! Dark blue rubber would be my choice. That stock strap looks exceptional though!

Wow, congrats on a fantastic piece! I've always coveted AP since I had the chance to tour the manufacture and museum and spend the day in Le Brassus. A fascinating place filled with interesting and talented people.

Beautiful! I’d go for dark blue rubber - though the current strap looks amazing also

That's a gorgeous watch! Since you have a blue leather strap, I'd go black rubber as a second option.

Congrats!! Absolutely love it.......as a Bruin, I love everything Blue and Gold.
I think the stock strap allows you to definitely dress it up. Looks fantastic.
How big is your wrist?
