Buy a Casio or submariner for working out or jogging. The Safari looks best on OEM strap.

The brown rubber (for deployant) looked SICK on the mighty Don Ramon!
Did you check on availability for both deployant and 20mm Tang (2014 strap style)?
That's really too bad they didn't have any available!!
Did they plan to make more/get another shipment/re-up stock ever, or out of production for good?

PS. Which dealer suggested this!?? Surely not an AP Boutique or AD...?
Anyway, not sure who makes that "Aftermarket" strap but it is NOT APBands as they don't have a brown one! ;)

Best option and best look is to go with the black rubber from the Rubberclad or on SS bracelet. Look at the last pictures on this link.
