Rubber strap - AP vs AP Bands?

I want to buy a rubber strap for my 42mm ROC. I have worn the genuine AP rubber strap on my Rubberclad but would like to hear from people that have tried the AP Bands version. Is it inferior or essentially the same? Comfort is my main priority.

AP Bands have a poor rep here. Research some threads. I'd stick to AP. Try the Diver strap.

Yep, stick to AP, not for nothing they cost 300 euros, the feel and quality is great

I'd stick with OEM...I'm not real big on much aftermarket stuff.

There are however, some good ones...but...I just prefer sticking to the originals...

Just my .02

Currently I wouldn't invest in anything other than OEM AP bands
