No love for new safari?

I'm just wondering right now on the hunt for a Roo and saw the safari first i thought i'd like the greytheme more but the leather strap color was a bit too light for my liking so now searching for the vampire and considering the safari as well it's pretty cool too what do you guys think?

Still think the elephant on grey rubber and diver tang buckle is the best of the new 42mms...but you can't go wrong with any of them.

grey themes on rubber for me, you say you don't like the strap color, hardly anything complicated to change really...

Great looking watch...Plenty of love! Also love the grey as well. No bad decision between the two of them.

You can throw a dart at the new 42mm AP's with the ceramic pushers - they're all great!

I have plenty of love for the new Safari...

Of the other two that mention (Grey dial and Black dial) they would both function well for summer on Black rubber strap or even add the bracelet!

If you guys were putting a rubber strap on the new Safari which would you pick?

That'd be my issue as I like rubber on an offshore. Black and grey make that easy.

Good point Tom, I liked the old Safari but only on brown hornback to bring out the cream dial. I'd go for the grey, altho I found the black even nicer on my wrist.

Personally like the old safari better. They made the new safari too brown.

I like the new Safari very much. You really can not go wrong with it or the grey themes.

I ended up purchasing a new diver but my first choice was the safari but they stay matches my skin colour and the sales lady and my girlfriend were pushing me towards the grey. We all thought the diver was nice plus I prefer the baton markers over numbers and the price difference didn't hurt either!


Thanks,

THIS is just stunning. Big fan of grey things, so this to me looks stunning. Was more of a damier cobalt fan but moving towards damier graphite, so nice pairing ;)
