Really can't take this one off. Switched out the rubber for Kevlar. It's way more comfortable.

By far the best AP I've ever owned and happy to have this one in the collection

He's clearly saying your AP is crap john. I'll trade you for a Rolex GMT and do you a favor.

Love the dial on this and how your picture picks up the great linear brushing on the bezel against the polished edge

Really like the Kevlar strap wish they made one for the 44 ROO.

Hi John, first off congratulations on the new concept! I recently posted a thread discussing the quality different between Rolex and AP, and where that stems from is that last week I was fortunate enough to try on the concept with the rubber strap when looking to purchase the Diver, I would love it if you could answer a few questions for me!

1) I would l love you hear your thoughts on the AP vs Rolex quality debate

2) when trying the concept on, I found the rubber strap not very ergonomic, how does the Kevlar differ? (Still felt great on the wrist)

Once again congratulations it really is a masterful piece, hope you enjoy it as much as I imagine I would and everyone else would!

All the best,

Jack

That strap is perfection. Where is it from, do AP sell them?

AP does sell this strap..."Concept Kevlar Strap" - If in the US, you can call AP Service in Clearwater, FL -> (727)467-0940

or of not in the US you can call a local AP boutique at your country.

Would be cool if they offered a Kevlar strap for the standard 44 ROO
