Emperor Penguin Posted October 8, 2008 Report 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 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
watchturbo Posted October 9, 2008 Report 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)
rosnik Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 Do my, APROO sec @12, rubber strap deploayant boucle , fit the Oracle carbon strap? thank you.
Martyd3 Posted November 5, 2008 Report 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?
rkdk Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 Do my, APROO sec @12, rubber strap deploayant boucle , fit the Oracle carbon strap? thank you. Yes it does:-) Im using the oracle kevlar strap with rep buckle, and its fits perfectly.
rosnik Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 Yes it does:-) Im using the oracle kevlar strap with rep buckle, and its fits perfectly. Thank you for kind help.
nmachen Posted November 14, 2008 Report 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.
Horolographer Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 Hi Anyone here has links to the Oracle Strap sellers? Thanks!
rckh Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 There's no more oracle straps. They're closed.
