I love the watch so much but hate the clasp. Went to the boutique today as I got the call that some stuff was in.

Always a dangerous place to find yourself. Too much temptation here.

I think the watch looked perfect before but now it's even better on the Survivor strap and buckle. And now 1000 times more comfortable.

Had to get something for those "evening attire" nights. Survivor hornback.

Crappy iphone photos but you get the point.

The original OEM deployant clasp on Audemars Piguet watches can be uncomfortable for some wearers, leading to a preference for a traditional buckle and strap combination.
Switching to a Survivor strap and buckle significantly improves the comfort and wearability of the Ginza 7, making it a more enjoyable watch to wear.
The Ginza Royal Oak Offshore models are particularly distinctive and stand out among other varieties, making them a popular choice for customization.
The new Survivor hornback strap is considered perfect for 'evening attire' nights, demonstrating the versatility of strap changes for different occasions.

Lovely watch, congrats... I have an ROC and switched to a strap from the bracelet, but I couldn't get over how bad the clasp was, how uncomfortable it is.... and I paid good money for it too I will be switching to the buckle soon hopefully... and again, beautiful watch, I always felt the Ginza ROO's stood out amongst all the other varieties

That rubber strap & buckle is so perfect for the Ginza and much more comfortable too!

Yes I agree this is why I went with the new parts. The OEM deployant just isn't comfortable for me. It sits directly in the middle of my wrist so if I were to get a short strap the placement would shift.

This strap fits the diver? It's actually the wider hornback that I want to get and use the buckle from my rubber strap. My AD is struggling to give a difinitive answer.
