In terms of rubber straps, the ones that are designed for the Diver actually measure wider at the lugs (29mm and tapers to 24mm at the tang buckle) so it's not possible to fit a yellow Diver strap on a 42mm ROO.

AP does make rubber straps in the 28mm width that taper to 18mm for deployant buckle (found on the 26170 reference), and taper to 20mm for the tang buckle (found on the 26470 reference). Unfortunately, the yellow rubber strap is not offered in these 2 sizes. I could be wrong but this is the information given to me by the local APSC.

Thats an awesome relationship! I really wanted ceramic crowns on my FC diver but APSC clearwater wouldn't do it.

I've put diver straps on 42mm ROOs and didnt see any overhang at the lugs. Last one was putting the grey diver strap and tang on the 42mm elephant.
