Is there an OEM deployment buckle for 44mm ROO
I dealer says the only 44mm deployment are from the rubens barichello and if I order it also need to order the strap cos they use old style round pin. No 44mm deployment exists that can handle the new flat pin for 44mm straps. Is this true?

I found the deployant on the 42mm VERY uncomfortable so swapped it out for a tang. So on 44 I am very happy with the OEM tang set up.
Even if you find a deployant option I would try before you buy. |

A Ti deployment exists and is on two watches:
26387io 26078io but both of them have a round pin so can't use any current strap which take a flat pin. need to special order a round pin strap as well. given above and the fact that it seems way more uncomfortable i am starting to give up on the idea. |

As far as the straps go though, if you're one of the few people who's had the privilege of getting your hands on a 44mm deployant, they'll work with you to get you the straps you want and there's a month to three month wait for them to manufacture it depending on whether or not it's a rubber or leather strap. |

I owned the 44mm ROO Tourb, and it had an alligator deployant as standard, not the most comfortable though.

The only one I am aware of (which does not mean much) is the 26388PO ... That comes on a deployant clasp strap ... in platinum ... and it is one of the most amazing APs I ever had the pleasure of strapping on ... briefly.

I see what you mean. APSC might be your best bet.
