jeffw69 0 Posted March 22, 2012 Great news!!! Is the "bar & cap set from AP Bands" something that is really needed? Yes, I messed up the ones that came with the rep strap. Never been much of a fan of the AP brand...but that is freakin' stunning Jeff! enjoy it often g.man Thanks, I will enjoy it. yup - that's a stunner - so tempted to get one for my Montauk Highway and add in my own blue stitching (bought the thread) I think you would like that. I may go with Aaron at HK Tan for my Montauk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,380 Posted March 22, 2012 It's gorgeous jeff! Bummer about the pins. Is it the OEM strap for the Safari? I know you said its gen AP but I wasn't sure if it was specifically a Safari strap. I'm very jealous either way! As you know, I've got an AP Safari incoming - can't wait to get it! Question is, do I buy a hornback or other strap for it....? It's coming on rubber with deployant so that will do me to begin with but I just know I'll want anothier strap for it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's coming on rubber with deployant so that will do me to begin with but I just know I'll want anothier strap for it! Well, I will have replacement pins in a few days from AP Bands. As far as the seller told me, it is for/from a Safari. I would go hornback, You've got Aaron at HK Tan for $269 or AP Bands for a bit more. I have seen some AP ROOs on non-hornback and they looked ok, but just didn't pop out like the hornback. Did you order your Safari from Toro? He will be involved in bringing a limited # of AP Pride of Argentina to us. Another strap i will need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,380 Posted March 22, 2012 Thanks jeff. Yes, the hornback looks superb but it's pricey. I'll think about it, not sure what I want at the moment. I've ordered from Marvellous Replica this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seriph 0 Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) Everyone probably already knows, but for the hell of it, here are a few pics of the Monty with the supplied strap. Edited March 22, 2012 by seriph Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seriph 0 Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) Apologies for the quality of the pics .... my DLSR is being repaired so the iphone camera is all I have BTW what I really hate is that we have to spend $400 - $600 for an AP strap when real hornback straps for Pams can be bought for less than $50 Edited March 22, 2012 by seriph Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffw69 0 Posted March 22, 2012 Yes, the rep strap on the Montauk is shit. Here is a gen: I also kind of like the white rubber strap: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No like? Have you seen my white ploprof on white rubber? I almost went blind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigBuys 0 Posted March 24, 2012 I had no idea that so many other RWG guys loved the Safari as I do. That is one knocked out Hornback Jeff! My Safari has asked for the same strap but I have not been able to find one as yet. If you see another, please let me know. My problem is that I usually have to buy XL straps to fit this wrist. That is the only great thing about the ROO bracelet, its LONG! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
