Help me AP oracles
Hey guys, need a little info, AP is beyond my area of expertise... For now just curious, the Royal oak chrono (standard, not offshore) is it possible to swap the bracelet for a leather strap? And if so what references am I looking for?

Yes...some people have done it. You need the "pilots" which are the two top tabs, the strap itself and the deployant.
Aftermarket options are not top quality and AP OEM stuff can be bought at a boutique but not going to be cheap. I am sure someone will chime in with the exact part numbers momentarily. |

It comes on bracelet but you can easily order the plots (not pilots), rubber strap, and deployant for the City of Sails model. Thomas (TSW) posted the part numbers.

Thanks for the responses guys, sourcing them shouldn't be a problem, I just wanted to know what I would be asking for. I suppose I could order the strap from the messi models couldn't I?

Not sure the Messi parts are interchangeable.

The COS kit can be ordered thru APSC in Clearwater.

The RO leather straps will work just fine
