Safari on bracelet picture request

Hi guys. I recently joined the forum and let me first of all say what a great place this is!

I have been a long time admirer of Audemars Piguet but haven't looked seriously at adding one to my collection (mainly Rolexes) until joining the forum and learning more about AP and seeing all the beautiful offshores you guys have.

Not looking to buy for a few months as only just decided to get an AP and want to spend some time thinkng over what to get. I'm wanting to get something that looks equally good on bracelet and strap. Currently thinking Safari as I love it on the brown strap but haven't seen any pictures on a bracelet.

Have any of you put your Safari on a bracelet and if so would you mind posting some pictures so I can see how it looks.

Thanks
Russ

Hey Russ! You and I were in a similar boat. I've only had Rolexes and Panerais until I've recently added a couple of APs to my collection. Do it and you'll never look back! TRF has been an incredible resource, and members here have been extremely helpful.

Great thread you've started! I'm personally having a hard time deciding if I should pickup a Panda, which comes with a bracelet. If I can learn 'how' to install a bracelet to my Safari, maybe I'll hold off on buying the Panda for now.

Congrats in advance on your first ROO
The Safari is probably the ROO that looks gorgeous on every strap combo you can think of, Also it looks great on the bracelet.

I just joined AP club after Rolex and Panerai for years. As Tommy said you will love the AP, it's just a matter of which one! Let us know your thoughts and welcome.

Here's a couple shots of the Safari on steel:



IMHO, gives the Safari more of an industrial, all-business look. I don't find it uncomfortable at all after wearing it all day.
And the rubber looks fantastic as well!

Glad you like it Russ.. now let me know when you decide to take the plunge!
I was told that I was lucky to find an AP bracelet in stock at an independent dealer. Heard that it has taken as long as 5+ months to get one!

Hi there everyone, probably another thread and maybe a little silly but has anyone seen a Panda on rubber? I have the Panda on bracelet but would like something for a break from the weight of the steel, would rubber go with the Panda do you think? Cheers Mark

The Panda looks great on rubber strap, But it really is stunning on the Singapore F1 strap
