15300OR rubber or silicone strap

Do you guys have any experience in this? Apparently no official AP rubber strap is available for this, but is there a consensus on how to go? I have a relatively thin wrist (circumference was 16,5cm) so that might also limit the options..dont know?

Thank you for any insight.

You need a city of sails strap, and get gold plots separately.

This is perhaps not the ideal place to ask, sorry about that, but how much would you bid for a serviced full set 15300OR (ideally black dial)? Found a few pieces but am having issues reading the market place.

After some due diligence, yoast was 100% correct - the City of Sails is the correct strap as one was never made officially be AP for the 15300.

Kind thanks.

You also may be able to use the brown OEM straps that were for the 39mm 26022OR. I’ve got a brown leather and brown rubber strap as well as the bracelet.

Silicone strap on my 15400 directly from AP I have the white and black options

The silicone needs to be more flexible it’s kinda stiff, but it looks amazing

I honestly rock it now more than when I had the black rubber strap on it. Looks and feels better IMHO

Why can't he use the existing plots? The 15300or never came with bracelet, so gotta assume the original plots would work?

OP:

I am also hunting down a 15300or, I also saw that APBands had a nice option, as did Horus. I am not sure of the price of the city of sails official strap, but I need a smaller size due to my small wrist and APBands is the only one with a rubber strap that has different sizing.

Indeed, somehow i had a bracelet model in my head. City of sails strap should work with existing plots.
