Hi guys, i have decided to go for an AP ROO PANDA, i need you help as to what strap to get... either the black leather strap with white stitching or the steel bracelet?... what would look more authentic of the two?!.. let me know!

P.S Also thinking of getting a diver v3.5 strap to fit on it!

Thanks in advanced!!

think both look great i have mine on a bracelet and it's stunning, be warned though it's a very heavy piece on the bracelet. I'm going to try mine on a black hornback also. One of my favourite AP's

I always like offshore fitted with hornback strap, SS bracelet can't really bring out the look of it imo. I would get it with a black rubber strap then buy a nice hornback from aftermarket strap dealer.

I'd stay clear or the rat skin Leather and get the Ss bracelet, yes it's quite heavy but you do get used to wearing it.

Order it with both. Why ? If you decide to go with a Hornback at some point, you will need the end links. The bracelet looks nice on the Panda. My preference is always with the Hornbacks. Just adds that wow factor to the watch.

BMW speaks the truth. I found this out the hard way. Conversion kit from AP bands costs around 200 dollars. Toro can source it for 40 bucks but delivery takes nearly a month.

Buy a rubber and add a bracelet. It'll be cheaper than buying bracelet and layer fitting a strap.

Speaking of the bracelet... Mine is uncomfortable at the clasp. Anyone else have this problem?

Sorry, I need to ask for a little clarification. I also want to order a Panda and have the flexibility of changing straps and bracelets.

So, I should order a Panda from a TD with a rubber strap and order a bracelet along with it? If I do, will the TD send the bracelet with the links?

Please advise....

If you don't mind me asking what td did you purchase this panda from and who did the ar?

I'd stay clear or the rat skin Leather and get the Ss bracelet, yes it's quite heavy but you do get used to wearing it.

I would pick SS, biggest bang for the buck. One less imperfection to have to worry about the holes in the buckle. And I think if for some reason you decide to sell the bracelet, I think you get a higher price for it. I took beemer's advice and ordered both the bracelets for my though.

You can buy a watch with the bracelet. ( like the Panda picts by Sharrkey )
After buy a leather strap with deplo.
It's the best solution. IMHO.
