She is finally back from the Spa!!

Hey Everyone,

After a couple of trips to Clearwater and around 5 months, I finally have my ROC back. I won't belabor the details for it's extended stay at APSC as I have already brought it up in another thread, but needless to say, I am excited to enjoy it for the rest of the summer. I ordered the conversion for the rubber strap for the warmer months and love the look and also the feel so far. Enjoy the day everyone (I know I will)!

Congrats!!!! Looks great on rubber I also remember your other thread. Glad you finally have it back to enjoy.

My daily AP just went back to APSC last week for B1 service. I'm going through serious withdrawals right now. Good news is they said it would only take 3 weeks. Fingers crossed...

Thanks...As with everything AP, it wasn't cheap but well worth it as it completely changes the look up. Much cheaper than buying another watch, that is for sure!

Very nice! congratulations. Can you put up some more pictures (brighter pictures) from the side and 3/4 also? I am very curious how it looks.

I had a similar problem with my ROC having to spend a lot of time at the Spa. But in the end, it like that person you can't stay mad at. Congrats!

Sorry for the poor quality but the iphone is the best I can do.

So correct me if I'm wrong (because I did the same with my 25860), but did you get a 26/18 strap for a City of Sails? Because I know the case of my older model is 25mm at the plots and there is just a pinch of a step off on the strap to the case (0.5mm per side). Now I couldn't stand it so I took a dremel to it, but in reality it looks fine. Just a little OCD on my part. But I was wondering if the newer 26300 models had the extra 1mm like the City of Sails case?

Hey Steve,

I did get the City of Sails Strap but went with the short one for my 25860 as my wrist is pretty small. Mine is flush with the case so maybe they made some changes to the strap itself to address that problem? The part number for my strap if you are wondering is BR.403.125.002CA

Looks great on the rubber strap. You mention a conversion, is this something you buy through AP? If so, might I ask how much? I've been thinking about putting my 15300 on rubber to change it up.
