The ROC on strap wears larger than my 15400 on bracelet because of the chronograph pushers protruding from the right side of the case.

Survivor? Really? If you like a whole black ROO why not getting any 44mm ceramic version? They’re modern, open caseback, scratch resistant, better finishing, etc...
Thanks will definitely get the rubber strap then!

On the ceramics, never really considered one. I’ll look into those!

Just spoke to my AP boutique and was informed there is an imminent price increase on the full rose gold bracelet from $18,179 to $27,000 happening in the next week. Based on this I decided not to wait and I just ordered the full rose gold bracelet for my 26331OR for the current price. They said it will take anywhere from 3 weeks to 4 months to arrive. Just happy I got it at the current “bargain” price of $18k before the price increase.

Great Choice, love my 26331OR on the bracelet.

And that’s a ridiculous jump in price for the bracelet.

Just curious why don’t you buy one with the bracelet? Are they not available?

That ROC look great with the brown crocodiles strap.

Because I want the option to go back and forth between bracelet and croc strap, so I bought the croc strap version and then bought the bracelet separately.

Isn’t it more cost effective to buy the bracelet version first then add the leather/rubber strap?

Nope. Bracelet is $18,100 and the croc strap with gold plots and deployant is $5,000. Buying the watch in the croc strap version and adding the bracelet is the identical price of a ROC on bracelet, so adding the croc strap would be an additional unnecessary expense of $5,000 extra. This is also why AP is increasing the price of the bracelet to $27k so people can’t do this anymore, but I was fortunate to be able to buy the bracelet at the current price before the increase.

Similar situation to what I did with an older 39mm ROC. I bought one with a leather strap for around $25k and then added a bracelet for about $12k. Buying it on a bracelet was just under $40k so in effect I got the strap and deployant (plus a dark brown rubber strap) for “free” compared to buying the one with a bracelet. The versatility is awesome. It is so gorgeous on the bracelet, but it is nice to be able to dress it down with a leather or rubber strap, especially in the summer.
