New addition. AP 26170 black dial.

Hi guys, I've always admired this brand for a while now and finally was able to give in and pulled the trigger on my first AP, the 42mm ROO chronograph. I really love it especially the beautiful black Guilloche dial. Got lots of compliments on it for the past couple days. Thanks for looking.

Oh, I also ordered the black rubber strap and can't wait for it to arrive to switch it up. (Cost a fortune just for the strap and buckle )

Hi DreambreaX, I was quoted close to $2k from the AD. Crazy! I was hoping to find it somewhere cheaper.

I get mine rubber strap and pin buckle for USD340, $2k is definitely too much, $2k is for the steel bracelet here

Wow, that's cheap. There's only one AP AD here in Toronto so I don't have much option. But I agree 2k is crazy expensive just for a rubber strap and deployant buckle.

Guys, didn't mean to revive my old thread but I cancelled the strap order from my AD as they charged me a whopping $1k (not 2k as previously stated) for the rubber dive strap and tang buckle. Plus I don't have the end links to switch over from the bracelet. Last night while browsing ebay I came across and bought the same strap and buckle for a fraction of the dealer cost at $300 and also the endlinks conversion kit for another $150. Well worth it and so much cheaper. Pics from the ebay listing. Cheers.

(Thanks for HKRolesFans for the heads up)
