Icon6 Re : New Shoes for my RG44

I bought a GP strap for my RG44 quite some time ago and only now decided to add this in. So what you think?













Personally I love it. Makes the watch looks even more sporty. I still another hole punch to makes it fit perfectly.

Have a great weekend!

Looks good. Is it a short strap (not sure if they made it in various sizes)?

I dig it.

The Red in the strap pulls out the Red on the Subbies.

Nice!!!

It's a standard strap. Not a good fit yet. Will need an additional hole punch.

Sorry Ben, not so sure it works for me.
I can see why you thought it would and were aiming for, but the red clashes with the RG rather than contrasting or complimenting it, like it would with SS/FC/Ceramic.

I think it works well Ben. This is the carbon GP strap with the red border, and I put it on my RG Grand Prix to great effect as well (the normal RG Grand Prix one is all black).

I think this is one of AP's nicest straps, a really nice feel to it for daily wear.

I'm hopefully going to buy one of these this year and I look at them daily tracking prices etc.. Sorry but for me seeing it with this strap takes the edge of it, the red clashes with the RG.

Irl I thought it does not clash but contrast with the RG case very well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I agree Roger. It's very comfortable. The texture feels like leather but I don't think it is. The GP straps adds a lot to the sportiness of the watch.

Don't worry. The GP strap is an add-on that I bought. The RG44 comes with a standard black rubber strap without any red coloring.

i think it is partly alcantara Ben. Suede-like.

I like how the red in the strap picks up the red on the dial. Very nice addition.

Comfortable?

Yes it is. But still need to punch another hole for the perfect fit.
