The rose buckle shouldn't be an issue, only the price (I don't think it'll be cheap). For there strap, I don't know what's in the catalogue. This one below could be an option, but you have to try to see if it really matches the colors of your watch.



Aftermarket is also an option. Good luck!

Time to slim down

 
 By: 1WatchMan : March 13th, 2021-05:12
I love my Diver, but have never been a big fan of the original wide strap. I've always loved the beautifully tapered profiles of the older 42mm models. So I'm going to give these new shoes a try. My first impressions are very positive, I feel the differen...  

Sounds like it will be more enjoyable for you now.

That is a great thing! AP rubber straps are incredible when brand new. They get a bit shiny on edges as they wear.

Indeed, I'm expecting to wear it more often now

I'm not sure but it looks like these to straps have different textures. Let's see how this new one ages.

Awesome

Personally my hand is better with the small strap

The wider looks good

When i change the black for blue, than my kind of AP RO diver is there. The blue hints a bit to turquoise and that is just perfect.

Another ref

It’s ok you like the white and black AP diver. If you wait, i search for the ref. Found! 15710

This one is really cool, great summer look👌🏻

And the texture of the dial, more lacquer-ish, matches the white strap beautifully. Thanks!

🤣🤣🤣

You know, 1 is more than enough 😜

That looks great to me

I didn’t know AP did a tapered strap on a tang buckle. Always liked the tapered straps but the original tang buckle was a source of discomfort for me.

Yes, all the new 42mm ROOs come with tapered straps on pin buckles (apart from Divers, no taper here)

I agree, previous deployant was not very comfortable, although I do prefer how it looks.

I am in the exact same position

I had the same thought...

I just haven’t tried it yet... It looks great... Please let us know your feelings about it after about a months of wear... Thank you

You'll have to wait till summer I'm afraid 😅

 
 By: 1WatchMan : March 15th, 2021-04:46
First feelings are great. I've actually been thinking of letting this beauty go because of my "issue" with the wide strap, I simply don't like it. But now it will have a second chance 😜 But I only wear it during summer vacations, when I have the opportuni... 

I understand...

 
 By: FlyingSnoopy : March 15th, 2021-10:44
It is also my vacation watch! Although a tad big it it super and I enjoy it very much🙂

Exactly, it's a tad too big, at least for my wrist and preference

 
 By: 1WatchMan : March 15th, 2021-15:55
But it's also very cool in the right place and moment 😉

You should give Rubber B a try!

 
 By: HorologyMiami : March 15th, 2021-06:27
The rubber B swim skin “alligator” straps are fantastic. Great fitment on the watch and I believe the quality of the material justifies the near OEM price tag.

I've seen them online and they look great

 
 By: 1WatchMan : March 15th, 2021-07:09
But for the Diver, I prefer the "simple" rubber one. If I had any other ROO, I would definitely give it a try. Thanks!

I wouldn't say that it fits more comfortably, both fit equally comfortable

 
 By: 1WatchMan : March 15th, 2021-15:57
It's more a matter of look and personal preference. Cheers!

Ah ok, got it 👍
