AP Safari

AP SAFARI on diver strap.

The diver strap is amazingly comfortable. Deciding wether I am going to keep it on the diver or put the hornback on. I do prefer the look of the hornback and the brown is gorgeous.













ORIGINAL HORNBACK STRAP

That's one big chunk of steel and rubber, congratulations my friend!

Hope to see some pictures of that beauty with the leather band as well!

Safari

Pretty cool. It looks great on white too if you can pull it off for the summer.

The hornback strap really makes the safari dial pop. I would use the rubber for when you do some water activities. Congrats on a great watch.

One of my favorite Offshore chronos, I just wish it had lume - deal breaker for me.

Looks great!

I did he same when I had my Safari.
The rubber makes it sportier and the hornback is perfect for a dressier switch.
Congrats on a fantastic AP!
