My first AP....ROO
I bought my first AP yesterday and ?I'm totally stoked!!!!!!

It's the grey themes titanium ROO on a bracelet . Ive been thinking that I might want to change the bracelet for a strap and buckle. Does anyone here have an idea where I could find accessory parts without paying an arm and a leg to go thru the AP AD.

Thanks GUYS

Congrats on the watch!! APs are VERY special --- which I'm sure you can tell from putting it on the first time.

My (personal) recommendation is to call Clearwater (service center) and they can help you out with all options you might want to look at regarding bracelets/straps.

You can also keep an eye out on the Forum here under the for sale (parts and accessories) sometimes straps show up.

I'm an OEM guy --- so I stick with AP accessories but I know a lot of guys on here have some great aftermarket straps and plots --- sure they will join in the discussion.

Enjoy the watch!!!

Congrats! Not sure about your location, but in Los Angeles, whenever I need a new strap or band, Westime orders one for me. It usually takes about 3 days.

I ordered a rubber strap for an offshore of mine, price was $205 I believe.
