RO 15450st converted to strap!

Had a few PMs on this so decided to start a thread instead of sending emails to each person.

Please dun flame me for sharing that this is possible on my 15450!








Ignore the stickers on the bezel :D. Still have not gotten to removing them yet

Stickers look worse than a few hairline scratches

Can we see a wrist shot ? :)

That looks great, minus the stickers.

Where did you find the strap?

Thanks everyone. Will get some wristshots without the stickers soon.

I got this conversion set fr ap singapore svc centre. It will not work on the 15400 which is larger. Not sure if theres an official conversion kit for the 15400.

Ok with a lot of hesitations, i finally removed the stickers. Gosh the polished bezel area is really shiny after the stickers have been removed!! Looks much nicer!!



I have been missing something with the stickers on!

For me, one of the primary reasons to buy the RO is because of the incredibly gorgeous bracelet. Not sure why you would want to swap it with a strap. But to each their own. Glad you like it.

I think it looks really nice, but I have to concur the bracelet on my RO is awesome.
