Question regarding changing out strap 42mm ROO
Hey guys, i would like to replace the oem leather with rubber strap. I believe the width is 28mm and the buckle is 18mm correct? Would a 44mm ROO strap be interchangeable? Because they're 28mm throughout I don't like the narrow look of the oem leather.My local AD sent me this picture. Would I need to get a new buckle? Also go oem rubber or aftermarket? Does anyone know what the price of the oem rubber cost? Thanks for the help

Thinking of making the move from Rolex to AP.... Thoughts?
Hey TRF,I've always appreciated the opinions from you guys and how helpful TRF can be Well, long story short I'm thinking of buying my first AP! I've always been a Rolex guy and have never owned any other swiss watch, but after selling my 116710 GMT2c, I'm thinking about buying the SS AP Diver. I've really been longing for a strap watch, especially here in Hawaii here the humidity can really make wearing an un-adjustable watch uncomfortable from the cool mornings to hot afternoons, and the AP Diver seems to complement my lifestyle being in the ocean and swimming quite a bit. I've done some research, but I just wanted to ask some questions and hear your thoughts:- I know and have read that the Diver wears bigger than 42mm which is a concern for me, as my wrists are around 6.3-6.4 inches. I'm 6 feet tall, but a more slender build at 180 lbs. I've always thought that 40mm is my limit for watches as I don't want to own something that will overwhelm my wrist, but I've realllllly been lustin
