Strap for AP ROO 44MM Steel

Please suggest where can I get an alternate strap for my AP ROO 44MM steel. Also which is the best looking strap apart from the original black rubber strap?

For OEM look at the white rubber or GP

Here's a guide to what the GP looks like against the Ti

White rubber for sure. Black Gator looks nice too.

I recently thought about changing my strap, for a refreshing new look.

After looking at, and mounting some, of the following:

- GP
- Horn Back Special
- Horn Back
- Rubberised Alligator

I have concluded that the original strap is by far the best. I have seen the AP grey rubber strap, and this didn't look good with the white dial of the SS model. I guess, this would leave only the white. I have not seen this, but I imagine this would be a distant second to the black rubber.

Aleeboy where did you purchase the hornback & hornback special for the 44MM AP ROO SS?

Is the rubberised alligator the one you get the boutique? I believe it has gummy finish. Is it pure leather or too rubberised?

I didn't purchase any of the straps. I could not justify any purchase as the watch really does look best on its original black rubber.

This was all viewed and inspected at the Boutique. I am not sure what the strap is called, but it's Alligator (exotic skin) leather and looks like rubber (feels very very smooth too). I prefer the original over this. However, the rubberised alligator looks much better than the GP straps by far.
