strap or bracelet recommendation for RB2 Ti
I have an RB2 Ti that is in need of a new strap. Although I do like the looks of the factory strap, I am not a fan of leather straps for everyday wear. Any suggestions for a high-quality replacement strap from AP or a 3rd party? Plain black would be OK, but something fun that would accent the colors or design features of the watch would be a plus. I am OK with deployant or switching to traditional tang. I would also consider a bracelet, but that is likely to be pricey and I would want to see what it would look like before committing.

AP rubber is best. White could be a good option with the black dial potentially?? I have white rubber on a platinum blue face offshore and it looks great

Yeah, I've been very pleased with the AP rubber on my ROO Carbon Novelty. I'm not sure I could pull off the white, but maybe light gray?

Reviving this old thread because I finally made a move!
I ended up going with the gray 20mm AP rubber strap (BR.403.783.004CA) and the AP titanium tang and buckle hardware. I also looked at the light gray with black trim rubber AP strap (BR.403.783.006CA), and although I really liked the black accents and I think it would have worked, the gray was a bit lighter than I had hoped. You can also get 24mm strap options, but I wanted to keep the narrower profile of the factory leather strap and see how I like the 20mm in comparison to the 24mm on my other ROO. I've included some pictures here. |

Not bad! I prefer the 24mm personally, that's what I upgraded mine to. And I still think white would have looked great too

LOL, yes...I had analysis paralysis and then got distracted. I don't get to boutiques often but I found myself in Tampa for work so that motivated me.
Time will tell on the 2 sizes. In addition to the reasons I mentioned in my post, my decision was somewhat motivated by a greater availability of relevant colors in 20mm. I absolutely agree white would look spectacular, but it's just not for me personally. |

Excellent choice of grey, Scott
![]() Question: would you please clarify or provide a side by side pic of this 20mm strap with your other ROO with 24mm strap? Is the 20 vs. 24mm referring to the taper of strap, or what exactly? Thanks. |

I would love to provide a comparison picture, but I dropped the other ROO off for service, so I don't have it now. I will try to remember to post a comparison pic when I get it back (will be several months). |
