Yep I got it from APSC Clearwater. The conversion kit with the tang buckle was $400 (the buckle was $130 of that) and the strap was $291. Pretty pricey but it changes the look of the watch completely.

Same combo!!

Couldn't resist. The best ROC IMO.

To those who's thinking about 15300st on rubber. The 39mm ROC plot and strap will not fit!!! WILL NOT FIT!!! The screw on the plot to lugs are different and plot to rubber isn't compatible with 26300 series. You will be depressed if you ordered and waited for few months, knowing after that it doesn't work.

Anyway, very crisp ROC!! I envy the sharpness. I guess I'm putting mine to spa in near future, too.

Haha. I ordered plots from my AD but they said it would take a few months. I didnt want to wait so I ordered aftermarket plots from some independent strap maker in korea. My AD was hesitant to order me plots because they werent sure which would fit. Ultimately they took their best guess and in the meanwhile I ordered aftermarket plots. When my genuine plots arrive ill just swap them out and sell the aftermarket ones.

Im sure they will be easy to sell. Every other ROC owner has asked at 1 time or another regarding how to swap to leather/rubber.

That's interesting because the plots for my 25860 were PL.222.014.ST and the strap was BR.403.064.002CA which was 27/18 now that I found the pictures. I think the case should ideally take 26/18 straps.
