Greetings TRF,

Just wanted to share pictures of the new band I got for my Audemars Piguet. The other one I had was a cheaper one and although I don't usually pay too much for my bands it was getting worn out rather quickly and was a tad thick for that watch.

Here's what I found instead.

It's one of my first flip over deployant clasps, I usually buy bands that come with butterfly ones and was always looking for a different type. I sure like the feeling and the look of it!

It's not an expensive band but I quite like the grain on it, I think it gives the watch a nice look.

...And obviously, a new band equals a new wrist shot!

Thank you for watching, feel free to comment.

It's a good fit for the watch IMO Carl, and as long as the comfort is there, you've got a winner!

Looks great and that is the first time i have read deployant spelled correctly in weeks:)
I like the grain as well, definitely compliments that beautiful piece

Thank you Gus and I must admit it, I've written deployment clasp a few times in the past but since a member pointed it out I made sure I'd never make that mistake again.

Looks classy and a nice strap can lift any watch, good call.

Looking good Carl!

Love that black glossy leather strap and the matching gold clasp, Carl. It gives that beautiful case a classy and luxurious touch. Nicely done.

Nice strap on a classic AP.... Congrats!!!

Cru Jones · 18 December 2013, 07:04 PM

nicely done, carl! looks like a perfect match. i agree with you with....one has to treat their watches to fine straps.

truth be told, however, it is a bit difficult for me to make out the details of the strap. do you have any images with more light? would love to see the grain of the strap and how it completes the package with your AP.

Suits the watch perfectly!

Cru, you already know the influence you had on me regarding bands so I can only agree with your first statement.

Regarding the dark lighting in my pictures, it looked brighter on my camera but the more I look at it the more I have to agree with you...how clumsy of me!

I'll be happy to oblige to your request.

FeelingTheBlues · 18 December 2013, 10:46 PM

Tell me what you think Cru.

Cru Jones · 18 December 2013, 10:49 PM

Thanks for the extra pix, Carl. Looks excellent (both the watch and the lighting)! Well done.
