My Trulli on original black/red horned back
After a rather lengthy wait, the black/red horned back finally arrived and here it is, on the watch! I have several straps for my Trulli i/c grey horned back and cognac gator but I think this strap looks best.

As I previously mentioned: That looks outstandingly balanced and strong. Definitely one of my favorite combos to date.
Well done brother! Enjoy |

Looks great. But I still think that the brown one looked better. Can you post a photo here for us to compare?

I love this piece Ken. How does the Cermet bezel hold up in your opinion? Is it as scratch resistant as they claim? I wish AP would use more of this material with other ROOs.

I haven't taken many photos of the Trulli on the cognac gator. Hopefully this shot will suffice for comparison purposes.

Thank you Mike. The Cermet bezel is so tough and durable, I wish all the ROOs were outfitted with one. This is only my own opinion but I prefer the look of the Cermet bezel over the ceramic one as I do think the ceramic bezel can look a bit too "plastic-ky". In addition, I love how the Cermet bezel looks like dark gun metal in low light conditions, and shows a light grey tone in the sun.

Love the trulli! Can't beat forged carbon and cermet! The black strap looks great. Wonder if AP could do a custom 42mm version off the GP strap. The red, black and grey alcantara would look perfect on this watch.
