you can always start by getting a new strap

wow. awesome work. by the way, how much $ did you have to spend to make it look like this now?

only because of the dial? what about because of the mix-and-match non-cohesiveness of all the different metals mixed into 1 watch?!?!?!?

the website said it was calf leather. so it must be faux hornback

most gen straps for AP ROO are croc straps. however a few gens use calf straps

That new Rubens Barichello 3 really sucks donkey d!ck!

that link says it is a calf leather fake crcoc strap. you sure you want that? fake croc straps usually do not look that great

Congrats! Post a video of the tourbillon in action!

ooops sorry. Yeah I meant tapers down to 18mm, not 22mm. Strapluxe band should fit on it.

Show us a pic because I may do that to mine if you are able to fit the rivets on the Strapluxe gator.

The Ruben should be the exact same strap size as all the other ROOs. 28mm at the lugs tapering down to 22mm. StrapLuxe straps do fit the reps. Many people including myself have one on their reps. They should fit. Would go with a Black croc for your RB2

why do you crop out the watermark on those pictures? those belong to another gen site.....that's not cool

yeah...but is it worth waiting MONTHS and MONTHS just to get your strap? I wouldnt. and I do not think HKTAN has those protective inserts in his AP ROO straps like StrapLuxe or APBands.

DAMN!!! you really bought an ap bands buckle for you ROO? Their buckles are the ugliest around and for that price....man I am disappointed in you

Well you basically have 2 legit choices if you are going aftermarket for AP ROO: 1) AP Bands - someone on this board really hates their straps. Who was it? you might want to ask them why 2) StrapLuxe - only have croc straps 3) Oracle Straps - cheapest route but dont offer croc straps On a safari, I think you have to get a croc strap for it to look the sweetest and the most gen. appearance.

since you already have a leather strap with your rep Safari, a conversion kit is not needed for ap bands or strapluxe straps (assuming your rep strap is the exact dimensions at the lugs as a gen strap). if i am wrong, someone please correct me

Your friend who deals with AP watches must not be knowledgable at all about ROOs if he can't tell your Safari is a rep. The all-white dial is a gimmie and the fake strap it came with is another. The gen hornback strap that comes with the Safari can not be rep'ed at all in a quality that looks like the gen. I'd rather get Strapluxe AP ROO straps than AP Bands.

wow a 13 yr old can polish/brush like that? he must be a genuis!

I got the $158 from TT and have no regrets on it. save the $120+ and spend it on a nice strap...thats what I did.

do the gens have those bronze colored rivets all around the dial? cuz I ain't feeling those

Your son's wrist looks bigger than yours! Great pic!

wow. never seen a 'monster crystal' on a PAM before! I bet it will be vulnerable to many ding attacks. Let us know how the crystal holds up

Congrats on the new PAM. Nice pics

Strapluxe does ship everywhere in the world for free according to their website.
