I ordered mine without seeing it at AD. Only in pics.

Just had a thought, this would be the perfect passaround watch...Let everyone enjoy it, start by sending it to me!
;)
Now hurry to the postoffice, I need that watch!

Have a nice day!

I wouldn't think so...I don't think the 44mm and 42mm ROO share straps. I think you would have to get the Singapore GP strap to fit the diver...

Super cool!! Love those FCs and the new strap gives it an extra slick feel. Is it OEM?

Congratulations. I love the rubber strap the watch comes with purely for comfort, had a GP few years ago and ended up chipping the bezel badly so have too painful a memory to purchase the strap. Enjoy the two watches in one it looks great on you.

Have to give it to AP, I got my strap and 1.5 link less than 24 hours after placing the call to Clearwater. Beats the hell out of the week or more I'd be waiting when my local AD was still an AD.

So have to wait until I get home to actually install it (forgot I needed two screw drivers ...and spring bar tool for buckle ) but here is the pic so far.

Think I'm going to be a very happy camper

...only watch junkies would be wanting to see pics of the same watch/strap combo they own themselves

Gotta thank you again Soly for motivating me with this thread to actually pick up the phone and order the strap.

Had it on for an hour now and have to say its very comfortable. It's a little stiff at first, but I'm wearing it one notch tight until it breaks in.

Not sure where my wife put the camera so had to do with cell phone pics:
