Icon11 AP Diver rubber strap sizes?

Hi all! While I'm enjoying my AP Diver, I'm actually wearing it at the last hole... which makes me wonder if the rubber strap actually comes in sizes or just a single size only?

Hi I'm new to the Forum, but have been reading great information for a year from it and I recall several people saying how you can purchase an XL rubber strap for your Diver.
Hope this helps!

You can get different sizes. Boutique or Service Center.

Thanks guys! I sure hope mine is not the Small... btw this might sound silly, how do I determine what size it is? I can't seem to find any indication on the strap or the box.

I hope I can find a smaller strap so my GF can wear it too...anyone have any idea a spare strap should cost?

The strap that comes with the watch should be regular. Straps in the US were $187 plus tax last year.

Correct ... if it is the factory strap it is the regular. You can go up or down from there.

You can also mix and match, which I did on my 44 (left the regular buckle side with the XS pin hole side). I found the perfect fit that way.

AP Diver rubber strap sizes?

Yep sounds like a reg strap. You will prob be in the middle hole on the small strap with very little tail showing

Definitely regular size. I have both regular and small straps and my wrist is also 6.75. Currently using the regular straps and wearing it in the last hole.

OK, thanks guys. I think it could make sense to get the small one for me then.

I'll probably call up the the AD in Singapore to check on the pricing for a Small Strap...

But the Standard one actually fits me just fine at the smallest last hole...

It fits me perfectly too at the smallest one. Perhaps a bit tight.

It leaves a lot of unused band though.

I guess it depends ... Do you a like a tail, Panerai style (as you probably have with the regular)? The XS strap won't leave much coming out of the keepers.

As I mentioned, you can do half regular / half XS which is what I did on my 44. This worked best for me (still have to buy the full band obviously).

When mine was on the strap I wore it on the last hole as well. Before buying a new strap are you looking to add the bracelet? If you are maybe just go for that

My wrist size is also 6.75". I use XS straps on all my APs. The standard strap is too long as wearing it on the last hole is still too loose. I use the second hole on the XS strap.

Didn't want to start a new thread, but was wondering if anyone had purchased a strap recently and know the price? Does anyone know the exact dimensions of the xs strap? Looking for a navy blue xs but haven't had much luck finding one.

Sorry for digging this. Thought I just give an update for those who were looking for the same information.

My regular rubber roo strap was slightly big. When I went to APSC to buy a XS size. The SC offer to punch a hole for me which solved the problem. The hole they made is as good as the others already on the strap.

To be honest, this is such a basic ask but it wasn't really covered in any of the threads
