Ceramic strap ideas

Hello all,
I am just all over my new ceramic AP, it is simply awesome and better in person than in pics. I think i want to add a black strap to dress it up a bit.

I’d love to see anyone with pics of this bad boy with a different strap vs the rubber.
I’d also like any suggestions and recommendations of makers vs AP that I could explore a new look.

Thank you all, and Happy Holidays!
Roger

I don’t have pics on my phone that fit the sizing requirements.

The only good options I can think of would be a grey strap from AP to contrast with the titanium pushers. You also have blue as a potential option, but that may be a little bit too out there.

Agree with the blue. The grey could look cool.
Thx

The solid blue alternate strap that goes with blue camp offshore will be a great option.

I would recommend the black GP strap but ideally you could get AP to custom make you an alligator with gold stitching to match the dial, it would cost you around $8-900 however and take 3/4 months to make. Maybe also ask if they can customise you a GP with blue accents.

I think the grey strap could look good but imo this watch is a stealthy AP and suits the black rubber the best of all.

Yes, I totally agree. I just really need to see it on a shiny black croc. Couldn’t find any pics with that variation online either.

I've got the same one and was also looking for a new strap. I went to the AP store in Geneva to try on all the different straps they have for ROO. (Un?)Fortunately, black is the strap that looks best on it
