I Have a G Series Rubber Clad on the Way, Where to Buy New Strap? Pics Once its Here

I have a Rubber Clad on the way. Hopefully this time it will be authentic (for those of you that saw my last post and thanks again for pointing out the replica through the pictures). Pictures will follow once it's here, hopefully today or tomorrow. The band was replaced with a Hornback strap but it shows wear near the mounting pins on one side. Where is a good place to pick up a new or used in good condition authentic AP (possibly hornback again) strap for a somewhat reasonable cost?

Try chrono24 as well.

With APSC's, the thing is unless they have exotic leather straps in stock, it may take a while for them to get it over from Swiss even if they have them in Le Brassus house - this is because of the licencing issue (at least that's the case for the U.K.)

Anyway good luck with your search and please post pics once you get your new RC!

It's here!! Looks good from what I've read up to compare against copies and I cleared the serial number with Clearwater before purchase but I still am going to send it there to verify authenticity (once I wear it for a week). Finally my search is over. Ended up buying a yellow triple calendar in the meantime as well.

Congrats! Yes this RC is genuine. The black dial RC is one of my favourite ROO too! The yellow triple date with a notched case is very special
