Congrats. Finally! Enjoy that beauty. How do you like the hard, tough, immobile hornback? From your pictures.. there seems to be a lot of room in between.. as usual with that awful strap. 
Order the Diver rubber from your local AD. Trust me its worth it for a couple hundred bucks. It will taper perfectly to your wrist and will be so much more comfortable. Guarantee you will never want to wear that miserable hornback again.

really made a nuisance of itself today when i was stuck in hot bad traffic for an hr!just msged apbands with the following criteria, what do you think?
1. Smooth leather
2. Drilled design, similar to the Singapore F1 (small holes), and the holes are 'black'. Not yellow.
3. Stitched in black as well. Two lines similar to the SingF1.
4. Underhide (the under of the strap touching the skin), can it be in yellow smooth cloth? or Black?
as for the Diver strap: can it be used on the existing black ceramic lugs? don't think so but doesn't hurt to ask, and i am not a fan of the steel ones used in the pics i saw with the Diver rubber mounted
also not 100% sold yet on the width of the strap with the case/size of the watch 
i have had the normal 42mm-style rubber on before many times and it seems like i am going to get that for certain
leather strap alternative depends on what apbands can do

Yes the alsrm function is a separate mechanical function to the watch. Upper right crown winds it's chime and sets the alarm time. The longer it's wound the longer the chime. It also vibrates if you don't want the chime.

That's awful if you are going to pull off a yellow watch at a gym I'd suggest it at least looks decent.
I would say if someone GAVE me an AP I would only wear it sweating at the gym.
