AP on custom strap?

Hey guys... what are your thoughts on putting a custom made hornback strap on my RO calendar? I would like to keep my AP and order the strap and conversion kit from APbands.
Would this "cheapen" my watch because the strap is not an authentic AP strap?
Thanks for thoughts

It's a matter of personal preferences.

I have not been that impressed with appends so far, Strap had a awful fit and had to be put on with some violence.

Thomas - so is the alternative an OEM conversion? Is that available for SS?
