Ap deployment clasp uncomfortable

[Pratt]

Hi guys, why is the Ap roo deployment clasp so uncomfortable to wear it ? Anyway to go around it?

 

[rey619]

It is super uncomfortable! I'm thinking of changing it all the AP bands buckle.

For me, it depends. On some straps it is uncomfortable...on others it's ok!

It feels fine on my OEM,but on a rubber strap.. uncomfortable!

it depends on your wrist size.

uncomfortable for me also. Thinking of buying AP bands buckle and I have also changed to AP Diver buckles ---- bought a bunch of 5 Diver buckles recently. Much much nicer

usually the case for smaller wristed ppl. i've long ditched the deployant for tang buckle. currently using a generic 18mm buckle which looks nice. another alternative is 18mm IWC style tang buckle, looks nice as well, esp with the brushed/polished look. kinda matches the ROO case.

am thinking of modding the deployant to butterfly, will see how it turns out when its done..

Deployant feels great on mine, very comfy, but im at least 7.5" wrist.

I think everyone is on the ball here. I have 6,75 and a butterfly deploy typically does not sit centre of wrist. Even when it does it protrudes too much.

Single fold deployments are the way to go.

the way the gen people solve this issue is by reversing the strap.

so the short strap will be beneath and the long one will be on the top.

i complain to AP AD before and they said that most of the issue is because we use a medium size strap, instead of XS strap. thats why the buckle on the side instead of the bottom.
that is the answer from AD

I own a handful of REPs fitted with a OEM Strap + OEM Buckle but the disconfort persists...

It has more to do with the case thickness/design/dimensions/weight than anything else, trust me on this one.

Of course I don't experience the same issues with my GENs ;-)

it depends on your wrist size, i think. i have a 7" wirst and love the deployant buckle from my ROO with a rubber strap standard size. easy entry.

deployant makes my hand hurt. the AP LOGO IS NOW ON MY WRIST. its push my wrist so bad. its going to hurt after wearing more than 6 hours.

interesting! might give it a shot, altho, i think it looks weird.

i'm bet 6.5-6.75 & the deployant "eats" into my skin aft a couple hrs of wear, which is fairly ok but i ditched my deployant cux of my wrist bone structure&it doesnt just "eat" but it also hurts.

i guess it does depend on wrist size&bone structure.

Please try it.

Its much more comfy.

Feels a bit weird tou in the begining.

I created my own buckle : using the "head" of the rep buckle and an aftermarket deployment.

I posted it in RWG: http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=215734

Results: (extremely comfortable )

hey fit, could u repost it here on RWI.?

some of us dont have access to RG.

You can always change the deployant for a TANG buckle. Other option is to invert the straps position, The longer part up to 12' and the other at 6'. It will feel much more confortable in your wrist. And if you ever buy a custom made strap, have the short side 5 mm shorter, then the deployent radius fits more your wrist.
Easy, I have no problems with mine, even after 14h. HBB is more of a problem

yeah, the switching of the 6 & 12 straps worked perfectly for me. doesn't look weird in the least bit.

I swapped deployant for a generic tang

APROO are built for larger wrists
