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 difference and I like it much more now.























Apologies for the horrible pictures, I think I need a new phone. I dropped it recently and it's not focusing well since then.

HAGWE!

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

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.

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

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