Hey guys,

Probably about to pull the trigger on the ROO Diver. Seen a lot of great pics here with people with different color OEM straps. Where are people getting these? Can they be ordered from boutiques?

Can't find anything on the AP website and googling just takes me to third party sites.

I do like a lot of the Horus designs - can anyone vouch for the quality of these?

Can also order them from US Service Center.

Can call AP House in New York or Clearwater. I just emailed AP London for some straps. They might ask for the serial number so you might have to get the watch first.

Thanks guys.

Still interested in people's thoughts on Horus and other third parties.

Horus straps are very comfortable and offer some great color options - use them on my 44 ROO

Horus makes a cool looking strap, but they are more like silicone, while the OEM and Rubber B straps are vulcanized rubber that feels more solid.

rubber b has some very cool straps for offshore now.

Anyone tries the rubberb on a 44 ?

KJBrandal · 27 February 2020, 03:44 AM

Ive attached a file that I received from the AP service center in Clearwater that contains all the current AP OEM Diver straps.

be careful when you order from AP. Make sure you are ordering the correct strap for your watch. As was mentioned above, AP will probably ask for a serial number, and that way they will ensure the strap is the correct fit.

There are really small difference in some 44mm straps to others, depending on the model.

Before xmas a really helpful person in London gave me a strap for my ROO so that I could see the colour. She absolutely told me that it would NOT fit my watch, but that it was the only one that she had in stock of that colour.

To my eye it looked like it would fit, I held it up to an existing strap and it looked like it would fit, and given that I know best, I tried it...and it didn't fit :) TINY TINY differences.

So be warned.

Also, I hear good things from some people about Horus and not so good from others, so it seems that it is all a matter of personal taste.

Good luck and enjoy the world of changing your own straps.

Not going to lie - really digging the RubberB "sailcloth" they have going for the 44's. Might have to order one and check it out.

Has anyone bought Rubber B for 39 mm ROC? They look very nice accept for the Velcro.
Are there Any other options for 39 mm ROC?

Thanks

Think I'll order one this week. Need to decide if grey or black would be a better potential to mix it up with my PoG.

Token74 · 28 February 2020, 07:09 AM

As others have suggested, ring any AP boutique or Service Centre and it’s pretty straight forward. But do use the serial number to be absolutely sure of getting the right one.

One thing many don’t realise, is that they do an XS strap which works brilliantly for those of us with smaller wrists. Makes a big difference.

I’ve just ordered an OEM purple strap off a trusted seller here, looking forward to mixing it up a bit ready for a boys ski trip.

Anyone confirm what colours the official AP diver ones come in? I have the silver tone white face wondering what colours would work

I think literally every color works with that piece.

rw2008 · 9 March 2020, 02:04 AM

Does anyone know if it’s possible to source any of the Boutique LE straps. Particularly the khaki green and Sky Blue ones?

AP didn’t include them in the catalog they sent me - so I’m not sure if that because they are LE or because they actually won’t fit.

I was sent this from a fellow AP enthusiast when I was asking about OEM AP colored straps.
