Did you order the buckle from AP as well? I didn't think they made a black version for those straps.

Love the bold look with the yellow diver strap Fred. The Bumblebee is one of my favourite APs...makes me regret having sold mine last year.

Yellow strap on the BB looks awesome. I was thinking about picking one up for my diver but wasn't sure it if was too much yellow. Think I'll have to give it a try.

Go for it! I love the yellow python strap on my SS Black Themes. I assume you have a SS Diver?

Forged carbon. It has a splash of yellow but not as much as the BB. Was worried the yellow strap might be too much but I think it might work. Thx! Really like the yellow Python on the back themes!

Thanks Jim. I love the FC Diver! At one point, I had both the Bumblebee and FC Diver (for 6 months). Love the look of both. I think the yellow rubber will look amazing on your FC Diver.

Saw the yellow strap on the new SIHH 2016 ROO Diver & I knew I have to get it,
Initially I thought I will regret my decision to place the order as I was worried it will be too bold.
But upon receiving it & installing it last mth in Singapore, I think it looks great!
Be bold!
We only live once.

It's actually San Francisco. I'm here for a week. Decided to only take the ceramic watch although most of my attire is actually brown/blue. It's been great so far.

That's awesome. I was in California last month for a business trip, but I was down south. I only brought my Daytona :)
