Going round in circles now
Still contemplating my next purchase Gone full circle. Was originally thinking AP diver then looked again at rolex followed by Zenith now back onto AP. Tried on day/date + diver today never considered DD before but I must say I loved the balance of the dial. Anyway loved them both although both completely different watches. Thoughts welcome guys

I just took delivery of my first AP and it comes with an alligator strap, lovely, but probably not durable to every day use. Would anyone be so kind as to measure an Offshore 42mm and 44mm please and also a diver.

I know I can probably buy an aftermarket band but was wondering if a regular rubber strap would fit.
