Need a custom AP strap made
Hi everyone, I need some help on finding the best place to make a custom AP strap. A little history on why; I was sold a used 39mm, blue dial, thin boutique edition AP Royal Oak that was originally produced with a pink gold bracelet but was on a strap. I didn’t know when I bought the watch there was no leather strap made for this particular watch and the strap it had albeit looked great, is not correct for the watch and doesn’t fit perfectly. I have posted before to buy a bracelet for this watch with no luck thus the idea of making a custom strap. I am in the San Diego CA area so a shop that is close is preferred. Below is some pictures to show how the watch fits etc. Thanks for your help in advance...Jim

Did you try contacting AP directly to purchase the bracelet?
I have never used an after market strap on an Audemars Piguet watch, so I am afraid I can't help you with that. I have seen after market straps up close on other watches. Unfortunately, none of them ever match the look, fit, and quality of OEM AP.
Your help is very appreciated
I will try the shops you suggest. I emailed ABP today but a shop might need the watches (and my wrist) to make it correctly. There is no OME strap I can find for the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Extra Thin 15202oroo1240or01 and the strap I have on it now pro...
Thoughts
I think AP will sell you the bracelet - via Clearwater perhaps. Also, I think Aaron Bespoke can make a strap for the piece, to fit perfectly.
Thanks
Yes the local AD will sell me a bracelet but I don’t like wearing a rose gold bracelet (too much for me) thus the need for new plots and a strap...Jim
