My 26320ST on Brown Leather

Just got my 26320ST White Dial put on dark brown (w/ gray stitching) crocodile leather.

It was a tedious process to say the least. Anyways, here are some pics if anybody here is curious as to how it looks on dark brown leather.

It wears much lighter now and I no longer need to worry about scuffing the bracelet while I work, eat etc...

Its so much lighter now! LOL.

The strap and plots are from APBands. I ordered the authentic plots but they will take another 2 months to arrive. I will simply swap them out and sell the APband plots once I receive them.

The clasp is not genuine. I got it off eBay for 18USD. My AD seemed to approve. They thought it was pretty well made and we all laughed when I told them how much it cost. The authentic clasp is between 700-800USD i think. I figured.....its just a small clasp....why am I paying this price for a clasp?

PL.222.066.ST

I have not yet received them so I cannot confirm that they will fit. But this was my AD's best guess. It is from a limited edition stainless 41mm ROC that comes on a rubber strap.

Have you received and tried the PL.222.066.ST up to now?
If you have not received them, what were the lugs that you had used in the first photo?
Thanks!

Actually they arrived this weekend. I had them swapped just yesterday. I expected them to fit either tighter or looser but I can say with a straight face they fit exactly the same.

I am using my authentic plots now and will probably end up selling my aftermarket plots.

I have a 15710 diver and need to order SS plots so I can order a new strap. Are the plots the same for the 42mm ROO cases as the ROC cases?

Thanks and it looks great I have to say. One of my favourite ROC's!

Icon14 Hmmm...

Great success with that awsome 26320!

I'm in japan and I am hunting for same plots although it's for 15300st!

My 25860, finally got OEM plots and rubber strap too.

My 15300 on the other hand is APband plots and brown leather strap.
I guess it's ok but not the best.

Not a serious problem but each plots and straps can't work together, I'm
Destine to own 2brown or rubber or what ever color variation I want.

AP boutique in Tokyo are definately slow and tedious transaction, each strap, buckle plots takes 3months. As matter of fact, they won't accept the new Italy chrono plots for they say another year...

But such a great watch to play around, my white 25860 with brown strap
totally looks like ROO safari but just they way I want them to look like!

Your white 26320 must look splendid on many different variations too!!
Thanks for the great pictures! I might as well post mine up too!!

Do you mean the strap/OEM lugs do not align perfectly from sideway? Do you mind showing a photo taken from sideway? I suspect that if your aftermarket ones (from APBands?) fit the brown strap you're using, it's likely that the OEM lugs won't perfectly fit that same strap.

I'd like to get the OEM lugs as well. Do you order them via dealer or other source?
Thank you.
