I thought I read he doesn't do straps for unique attachment mechanisms like the AP.

This is straight from his site....

"I can make for most any brand of watch with the exceptions of those brands that have unusual lug attachements for the strap or require a fixed hard plastic or brass piece to fit eg. Linde Werdelin, some AP's etc..."

Idk. That would be nice, but iwc, jlc, et al straps are $250+.

SoCal is an unknown quantity at this point
Rob will make anything if the price is right...

OEM straps are overpriced.

Hirsch, for example has great quality straps from the ~$60++ range. for $~120 you can start into the world of custom straps.

lol mark hates ap as much as i love them so all is balanced in the world.
thanks so i guess rob is out.
apbands strap order 90% complete, waiting for final quote inc shipping.
now i remember why i didn't buy anything from them for the panda: communication is SOOO unclear and takes WAAAY too long..

RFFG huge congrats i love those and i recommend you go for the sapphire crystal once you service it

Thanks, I'm extremely happy with the purchase!

Thanks for the heads up about the saphire I was thinking about that and it'll go on the watch once the service is done.
