Alligator Straps for 26240OR

anyone who has ordered the alligator strap for their 26240OR?

How much does it cost (does it come with the pink gold buckle as well)?
Is that something that takes a few weeks to order?

thanks

Lately I have been ordering my Straps and bracelets directly from the Service center in Clearwater Florida.

From AP - for my 26240OR:

The plots needed to attach the strap to the watch are $344/e + tax and you need 4 so the set is $1,376 + tax and there is no pin buckle option for his watch only deployant and that buckle is $5,420+tax. So, your total for the plots and buckle would be $6,796+tax and then you add straps as you like.

Thanks very much. Do you know if the alligator straps available in more colors, other than black, blue, and green?

I didn’t get any - I may later on but another $7K+ after buying a full OR bracelet seemed a bit much so I’m just enjoying the pink gold for now!
Probably a black rubber or black leather since it’s a black dial.

I’ve been wanting to get a rubber for mine. I just called Clearwater and left a message.
What do you guys think- taupe or green?
(Rose gold/ black dial)
Thx

I have a green rubber strap on my green dial 26240OR and it looks incredible. Far better than the alligator it came with. I am not sure how it would match your black dial though.

I agree, green strap on a rose gold watch with a black dial seems unusual.
Not sure how a taupe strap would look either. I think black would look elegant though.

Do you have pics of your green strap by chance? In sunlight as well as a less bright environment?

What about white??
Black rubber is the obvious choice but I also have a rose gold black dial offshore and don’t want it to be the exact same as that.

Pat, thx for posting all the options!

Happy to help :)
