Very interested in seeing how this would look. I presume it would turn the sporty looking watch to a modest dressy watch.
How much do the OEM bracelets cost? Any website with good quality metal bracelets?
I found these on a website called strapsco.com for $75. Not sure about quality.

How would that work with the 26420 quick strap change (well, it wouldn't)? Not sure why one would put a $40k watch on a bracelet that costs $75 (and looks like it).

I think these might have a quick release version.
Why? Same reason lots of people in life do what they do; Cause it’s mine and I can do whatever I want with it : )
But mostly cause I don’t have a dress watch that’s SS right now and toying with the idea of how this would look with metal bracelet.
If there is a better quality option there at a reasonable price I would definitely be grateful to be pointed towards it.

At some point, an SA at a boutique ventured a guess of ~$5k for a ROO SS/quick release bracelet. Reasonable is in the eye of the beholder, I guess.

Relatively expensive for stainless steel. But Not the worst price.

From the picture, actually I think it looks OK, didn't look cheap at all.

How do you know that it will fit certain AP model?

I would love to see the end result of this as well! I had the same thought and was trying to see if anyone have done it but so far none

KJBrandal · 10 November 2022, 10:24 PM

You will probably have to buy a titanium bracelet as AP wont let you mix metals. The steel ones are $6,000 so I imagine that the titanium ones are probably a couple thousand more.

I mean you're talking about what secures a $30k or more watch to your wrist. To cheap out and buy a $75 bracelet seems ass-backwards. The AP rubber straps are comfortable as is and give a very nice modern look, but if you want a bracelet, which will be pretty beefy then either go with OEM from AP or nothing. I would never risk my AP offshore with a $75 knockoff bracelet.

just1time · 11 November 2022, 04:57 AM

I am going to contact an AP boutique to inquire. It’s not something I need desperately as my SA says I will be getting the 15500 and rose gold ROC sooner than later. So
I rather put the funds towards those two. Was just looking for an option to
Make the watch a little dressier in the interim.
I thought there would be great quality aftermarket bracelets out there by now.

Is that an OEM bracelet or aftermarket? Source and How much?

There’s no 3rd party option for AP bracelet. Call your AD, they will give you all the info you need. I jokingly said to a buddy “AP built their entire business around their one bracelet”. Imma stand by this. Get that bracelet. It pushes “nice-watch” into jewelry.

Agreed. Albeit, subjectively, the ROO bracelet is too thick IMO and I much prefer the aesthetic of the thinner bracelet on the RO/ROC.

just1time · 28 January 2023, 10:44 AM

Revisiting this quest.
Does anyone know if the thinner RO/ROC bracelet fit on the ROO? I prefer it to the thicker ROO bracelet.

I’ve never owned a ROO but have handled them before and there’s just no way I can see them fitting a RO/ROC bracelet..

First off, the case size is different, and the bracelet profile is very different as well. The RO/ROC bracelet will be slimmer than the OEM ROO bracelet and the finishing won’t match the case. I just don’t think it would be a good look even IF it did fit lol

Agree, totally different aesthetic. Won't fit, but would like very confused if it did. One needs to either embrace the brutalist Beast look, or stick with the RO.

wow that is insanely cheap. the deployment clasp for the ROO is like $1600. so $5k for a whole bracelet sounds really cheap.

Sorry to revive this. I just got my 26420ST with rubber straps , but kind of miss stainless steel bracelets like they have for the 26238. Does anyone know if the 26238 quick release bracelet would fit on the 26420. I know they aren’t the same case size… appreciate your help, and couldn’t find anything online.
