Get the darker blue rubber strap that is an option with AP. It is blue black and is a better match than the regular blue rubber.

I had a blue hornback with white stitching made for mine but I am afraid it is now gone and I don't have a photo to hand. It looked really good.

The red stitching on the black strap really brings out the whole watch! I'd use that if I were you.

Funny it's a little like when someone gets the white or black dial 15400 and not the blue, I always think they must be nuts

Ask APSC if they could organise the blue with red stitching.
If you like the white rubber, you might want to look at an independent strapmaker making you a custom white leather with red stitching, to fully play on the sub-dials colour combo.

They both match very well but the red stitching on the black provides a better look overall in my opinion.

I think it needs a blue strap to pop the blue dial more as it is a navy blue dial. Black would make it all seem too dark.

+1 I prefer blue on this piece and I prefer rubber on any ROO.
