AP Bands

Is there anyone on this forum that has bought a leather strap for their bracelet watch from AP bands? I am thinking of getting a leather strap for my 15400. Seems nice to be able to change every once in a while. How is the quality of AP bands? Are the conversion kits decent?

If you have converted your watch, please post pics!!!

Thanks!

I have bad experience with them, fitment was terrible. Charge me restocking fee for item they screw up. Terrible customer service!

Speak to AP - they may be able to help you with custom straps.

Like these guys have said, no to AP bands.

Personally, I bought the 15400 as it was one of the most beautiful bracelets out there. A ROO looks better on strap, RO I'd keep on bracelet.

I used them for a tang buckle as the AP OEM deployment never fit me well, adore it, highly recommend

I just asked AP for a custom strap for my 26401 but the answer came back no.
Very disappointing as the croc strap is not very practical and the existing 44 rubber straps i.e. colour doesnt really work with the blue dial

I bought a set of Plots and they are just fine. Look original to me.

Yeah, I was wondering because they sell the same size strap for the 15300 and the 15400. So I could have guessed the fit wouldn't be great. Thanks for the input! I'll keep it on the bracelet for now.
