many thanks again gents

Thomas, THANK YOU for the reply sir.

1. Do you know anything about the 24mm deployant I can get from APbands?
Will it be a direct fit and an easy one? More importantly, will it make the putting on/taking off process of the watch as easy as the earlier ROOs (Panda from my experience)? Anything else you can guide me with?
I am waiting for them to respond (they have been great but I seem to ALWAYS email them on weekends).

Pics would be appreciated!

2. I now definitely wear my AP silver a lot "better" than when I first got it - kind of like when you get a big, wide sports car and you just need to get used to its dimensions haha. And while the GP is a bit higher, I now got the hang of it and of course will be more careful when wearing them.
I plan on dailying the GP as well once I get the ease of putting it on/taking it off taken care of.

Thanks for the replies and help gentlemen, it is greatly appreciated!

hello everyone, i just wish to share my excitement of purchasing a GP carbon yesterday as well as learn from the wealth of information here to ask: 1. what are my hopes of fitting a folding deployment clasp on it? it is my second AP, and i much prefer the...

I know it is hard to believe, but the spacing between the plots on your two watches is different. About .5mm wider on the GP. Therefore, regular Offshore straps that work with the OEM deployant cannot be plugged onto your GP case. Currently, there is no d...

Gentlemen, thank you all! I seriously wish AP would make a clasp for those straps. I contacted APbands and they said they can offer me a double fold 24mm deployant. I asked for more information, and waiting. Anyone have any experience with those? Or the 1...

Lovely watch.....

One of my dream watches.. Congrats! The Carbon is much more durable the the SS and polish case of say a Panda, although if hit hard enough it could scuff or chip.

I like the way some of us shave their arms...

Congratulations and welcome, Bo. 1. You already have your answer regarding the deployant. Personally, because the strap has a certain built in "curve" having a deployant has not been such a priority for me. 2. Having had quite a bit of very extensive wear...
