15400 Question

Hello all,

I'm curious to know if there is a rubber strap that fits on a 15400st ? if not is it possible to buy a leather similar to the gold version that works with an AP clasp.

Any pics would be great.

Thank you.

I am quite sure a leather strap that is used for the RG RO version can fits the 15400. Not sure about rubber strap though. You may want to check with your local APSC.

Not quite sure why you would want to do that though. The bracelet of the RO is one of it's main attraction and signature design feature.

Agreed, if you want a rubber strap model, buy the beautiful RO Offshore Diver.

Each time someone thinks about replacing a RO bracelet with a strap, a tear drops from heaven. Just saying.

A rubber strap comes with the Messi limited edition ROC, so for sure it would fit the 15400. You would also need the deployment clasp of course, and I'm sure neither would come cheap. But whilst I tend to agree with earlier comments about the bracelet being so integral to the RO, I would love to see what this combination would look like so if you do it, please post pics.

Thank you! I just wanted to know if the option was available I love the AP bracelet but also would like to have another option.

Cheers.

No other options. This is the greatest bracelet made IMO. The watch will certainly disintegrate if the bracelet is removed. Please use caution

I've wondered about a leather strap with a deployant clasp myself. If you do find out for sure, please update the thread with the model numbers and MSRPs.
