Emperor Penguin Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 AP Bands sells a strap conversion kit for the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore for $179 plus shipping, and Oracle Straps sells any of their AP straps (graphite, Kevlar or rubber) for $185 and the price includes a conversion kit. Are the conversion kits virtually idential? If they are, there doesn't seem to be a point of buying the conversion kit from AP Bands when you can buy one from Oracle Straps and it comes with a set of straps. With a conversion kit costing $179, plus a hornback crocodile strap for $349, both from AP Bands, that amounts to $528 plus shipping, and that costs more than the damn watch (King sells it for $490 including shipping). Might as well shell out the extra six dollars and buy the conversion kit from Oracle Straps. This assumes, of course, that the conversion kits are virtually identical.

Dani Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I would say they are better from oracle. I have had both, beside custom service like CRAP from a bands they are also to expensive. The strap from oracle is also great value. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchturbo Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I suggest getting the AP ROO coversion kit by buying a strap from Oracle straps, and then getting a real aftermarket croc strap from StrapLuxe (and putting the oracle conversion kit on it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyd3 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Do my, APROO sec @12, rubber strap deploayant boucle , fit the Oracle carbon strap? thank you. If you cut the endpieces out of an ROO bracelet, would they work the same as a conversion kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmachen Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I have a nice black shark strap from APBands on my secs @12. It looks incredible, fit on my rep endlinks (although it was difficult to attach), and cost me about 80 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
