I bought a Gen brown alligator Big Pilot strap to go with my rep from a dealer in Singapore for about US$ 350 that has transformed the watch for me. Look around, they come available now and then.

Thanks so much for the side by side comparo.
It confirms what I can feel on my wrist with the AP ROO RBIII --- it just reeks from care somebody put in the rep.
IMHO, so worth $600 when you see the quality in person. Everyone who sees the watch is just in awe of it.
ahh a case of if it looks too good... it is.
I'm happy with my AP ROO BARIII as is.
Fooled the AP dealer with it last week as he'd never seen a ROO BAR
