Just joined the AP Club!

Just got my first AP - a ROO Panda! Watch fits great, wears comfortably, and I think will see lots of wrist time... Thanks to the members here for great information and pictures while I was deciding what to get. Been looking to consolidate my collection for a bit now, and over the weekend went from 9 down to 5, picking up the Panda and credit towards a potential future 15400...

Only question I have is whether the AP GP blk/red strap will fit on a bracelet watch?

Love it, beautiful!

And yes, leather strap will fit, however you need to purchase a conversion kit (think AP bands sell one)

Tip on the conversion kit if you want to get one:

I just got a quote last week from AP's John Evans in Clearwater, and it was $200 excluding tax/shipping. AP Band sells it for $219. With such a small difference in price, you should just get the Authentic.

Congrats! GP strap is place on 44mm. Your panda is 42mm, cannot fit.

Thanks all for your replies! I was like a kid on Christmas opening it up...

I may have been wrong on it being the GP strap, but I thought I remember seeing a black fabric strap with red stitching that works?

Would you mind sending me a picture of your strap? The hornback is amazing, I've never seen it with red stitching... I also wasn't sure if the case connection is the same between the bracelet and strap watches...
