amexus Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 I just got the black dial sec@12 APROO. Now I would like to get some new straps on this one. I am thinking of a kevlar or carbon strap and next month I will go with a leather one. Can anybody tell me the difference between the kevlar and carbon strap? And what do you think will fit better? And I know.... these comes with the conversion kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I know.... these comes with the conversion kit To be honest, I personally don't think either fits very well but on the rubber clad. For the "standard" ROO, I think a cool leather strap works a lot better. But that's just my oppinion =). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amexus Posted July 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 I just want to go with one of the both straps, because they will be delivered with the conversion kit. the strap with the kit for 185$. and after that I will get a leather strap. Question is: which one of the straps I should take for this. Maybe someone knows some specifics on the carbon and/or the kevlar. I know that will not be the solution for the watch, but maybe a cool experience at an acceptable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawo Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 I bought the carbon fiber one from Oracle. Kevlar is a rougher surface which I am not too fond of. Carbon fiber is smooth and has a nice design pattern. Kevlar is very durable (used in bullet proof vests) but is quite stiff. Just personal preference I guess, but carbon fiber is prefered for me.

The conversion kit, kevlar strap and buckle I found was over $350. Thanks in Advance, T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
