AP ROC 25860 Conversion?
Question for ROC owners out there. I've finally got my 25860 back and love it. How do you like your ROC 25860/26300 on a bracelet vs strap? I've contacted AP and they officially don't support conversion of my model, but obviously AP Bands does. There are great looking brown and black leather bands with white stitching I'm tempted by. They have rubber ones also but with the crappy WR rating this isn't really a sports watch. Thanks for any advice!

The plots and screws can be had from OEM sources. I have OEM plots, straps and screws and bracelets. AP bands metal bits are pretty good. The straps are less than great. HK Tans are better at the same prices. OEM is the best if you can source them. You get what you pay for here.

But Carlos from the AP boutique in Florida just told me today that I couldn't get them for my watch. He's ordering my 1.5 link but said they don't allow conversion for my watch (I have him my case and serial number). Thanks for the tip about HK Tans! |

I wouldn't go with AP bands. I have a 26320 and wanted to wear it on a strap. The plots didn't fit and I'm stuck with a expensive strap and plots. Would wait until the OEM plots are out

Unfortunately, according to AP themselves, they don't make them for my watch. So I don't know if they used to and now don't or if they never did and only AP bands did. It certainly could be the latter because the kit for it is twice as expensive as the others. Maybe because it is the only spurce

I have an ROC panda and bought it with a strap and required equipment. Believe it was from the LE Sails but could be wrong. AP boutique changes it back and forth for me
