44mm Novelty Strap Custom ?
Hi guys. Happy new year!
Was wondering if anyone knows any good website to purchase a custom hornback strap for a 44mm novelty A friend of mine had this strap which he bought from the AP Service Center years ago but I’m unsure if they still sell em. I think it looks dark grey with a hornback. Unsure of the exact colour. Am looking to use it on my 44 rosegold. I personally feel that it brings a more sporty aura and a louder contrast to it compared to the stock black rubber strap. |

You get these straps custom made through the boutique. It takes longer, maybe 6 months, as it isn’t a stock item but doing it this way you get an OEM strap rather than something that isn’t official AP.

I would use OEM as well, and I prefer hornbacks on the 42s with a silver bezel, just all more dressy. I've used jacobstraps before for a hornback, very nice quality and fair prices.

That looks nice, from the plot link cutouts I’m not sure its OEM..
OEM is the way to go,, The aftermarket straps are always missing the metal insert for that perfect fit |
