Where/How to buy OEM Diver straps?
Hey guys,
Probably about to pull the trigger on the ROO Diver. Seen a lot of great pics here with people with different color OEM straps. Where are people getting these? Can they be ordered from boutiques? Can't find anything on the AP website and googling just takes me to third party sites. I do like a lot of the Horus designs - can anyone vouch for the quality of these? |

Can call AP House in New York or Clearwater. I just emailed AP London for some straps. They might ask for the serial number so you might have to get the watch first.

Horus straps are very comfortable and offer some great color options - use them on my 44 ROO

be careful when you order from AP. Make sure you are ordering the correct strap for your watch. As was mentioned above, AP will probably ask for a serial number, and that way they will ensure the strap is the correct fit.
There are really small difference in some 44mm straps to others, depending on the model. Before xmas a really helpful person in London gave me a strap for my ROO so that I could see the colour. She absolutely told me that it would NOT fit my watch, but that it was the only one that she had in stock of that colour. To my eye it looked like it would fit, I held it up to an existing strap and it looked like it would fit, and given that I know best, I tried it...and it didn't fit :) TINY TINY differences. So be warned. Also, I hear good things from some people about Horus and not so good from others, so it seems that it is all a matter of personal taste. Good luck and enjoy the world of changing your own straps. |

Not going to lie - really digging the RubberB "sailcloth" they have going for the 44's. Might have to order one and check it out.

As others have suggested, ring any AP boutique or Service Centre and it’s pretty straight forward. But do use the serial number to be absolutely sure of getting the right one.
One thing many don’t realise, is that they do an XS strap which works brilliantly for those of us with smaller wrists. Makes a big difference. I’ve just ordered an OEM purple strap off a trusted seller here, looking forward to mixing it up a bit ready for a boys ski trip. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does anyone know if it’s possible to source any of the Boutique LE straps. Particularly the khaki green and Sky Blue ones?
AP didn’t include them in the catalog they sent me - so I’m not sure if that because they are LE or because they actually won’t fit. |

I was sent this from a fellow AP enthusiast when I was asking about OEM AP colored straps.
