Dear friends, in this Forum there are a lot of photos to be seen of a steel ROO Diver with a steel bracelet - which looks stunning! I always thought that the 15703 is only available with the rubber strap but not with the beautiful steel bracelet I know from the ROO Chrono. Is it possible to use the Chrono bracelet on a 15703?

Yes. AP sells the roo bracelet for approval 2375 us. That was the price my ad quoted me. Become others have quoted a few hundred more or less but I know 2375 for sure.

Thanks a lot, Everett! USD 2375 is a really tidy sum... But if it fits without complications it would be a very good addition to my 15707. Black face or white face - which would you prefer?

I say order one if you can, it really does change the diver look, a very special bracelet, so we'll made and it adds a lot of heft to the watch. I get lots of compliments

Thanks and congrats to you, Nicholas! Beautiful photos! Now I know what I want... The steel bracelet is a piece of art.

It is awesome, too bad they don't make a bracelet in DLC, would look nice with the CE diver as well

The diver is quite hefty without the bracelet. Not sure I would want to add any extra weight to that. One of the reasons I sold my SS diver.

Lower Saxony · 31 August 2015, 03:03 AM

The advantage of the rubber strap is that the watch holds very tight to the wrist. A steel bracelet might tend to twist perhaps? Does this problem occur with the ROO steel bracelet? weight shouldn't be a problem - watches like the Rolex Deep Sea e. g. or gold watches might be much more heavier, aren't they?

I once put mine on a bracelet, biggest mistake ever. Too heavy and slippery on the wrist.

1st amg · 31 August 2015, 07:04 AM

I never had any issues of slipping, it may have been sized correctly for me, it is a tricky one to size.

beer · 31 August 2015, 07:11 AM

looks great with a SS bracelet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

one question is does the bracelet fit onto the watch in the same way as a RO/ROO that comes with a bracelet? would the bracelet scratch the watch case (with the square shaped bracelet segments looks like there is a bit of metal on metal where it used to be rubber on metal)

Sso · 31 August 2015, 09:32 AM

Wow thats looks really good... I wonder what it looks like on ap slate grey roo?

This bracelet is for this type of case, so there is no contact with the bracelet to case. The fitment is perfect.

thats great and looks totally worth the cost in my opinion

i have been planning on doing it with my offshore chrono

Hairdude1 · 31 August 2015, 03:01 PM

When I had my diver I had it on a bracelet and loved it. It is a great addition

Lower Saxony · 31 August 2015, 09:47 PM

Very interesting discussion! Thank you, Sso, for the idea of combining the bracelet with a slate grey ROC. It will be a real stunning appearance. But - for all I know the AP Boutiques / concessionaires don't have those combinations in stock neither are they willing to demonstrate variations like this. So the customer has to decide in uncertainty of the fit and the final look, hasn't he?

Joe.King · 31 August 2015, 11:03 PM

While the bracelet looks awesome, I couldn't see spending that much and not enjoying it. Not having an AD near me and being able to try one on to feel the the comfort level is a no go for me.
