It would be pretty swell to find something like that anywhere in So Cali.

Those are beautifully photographed. I always appreciate when someone goes to the trouble of getting the pictures right. I've got the 1911 Discovery Panda and with 7.5" wrists, it's a pretty snug fit, but I really like the watch. Wear it in good health.

Fine watch, nicely photographed. I think the APs are my fave reps after the Omegas. Gotta save up for the safari, but I don't want to have to deal with the secs @12 issue. Enjoy it.

Sorry about the delay. As promised, wrist shots.

Agreed. I've bought 3 Invicta's only to have one arrive DOA, and a second crap out in a few months. Third is with my brother and he's happy with it. I won't buy Invicta anymore.

Fascinating. I knew only the barest outlines. Thank you.

Really first class photos. I'm not a Rolex guy, but you make it look good. Well done.

I keep waiting to hear you say, "Just kidding..." I give you a tip of the noggin' Dude. You got big brass ones. And those are prolly iced too, amiright?

You can find it on Josh's site HERE.

I'm wearing the AP Wempe today. Love the APs. The Safari is my next move. Had 2 different gens of it on my wrist this weekend. One AD wanted $14K and the other wanted $18K. The second AD had 2 Volcanos in stock as well. Sweet ride, that.

I posted in this thread yesterday. It was the first time I'd seen or heard of the Safari. Today, I'm walking along a side street in Newport Beach and I duck into a tiny watch store. He's got PAMs and Pateks and most of the usual suspects. And right in the middle of all this horological win, there's a beautiful genuine Safari with the hornback strap. I was gobsmacked. I had to try it on. It's a very good thing that I didn't have $14,200 burning a hole in my pocket, because I've got zero impulse control around such a sublime piece as this. I wanted a rep of this watch yesterday and I'm twice as want it today.

I had a gen Safari on my wrist an hour ago. The guy wanted $14,200, before haggling. I told my wife to start saving up, because my birthday is in August. What a sweet ride in person. (The watch, not my wife. You think I didn't see that coming?) But I have to tell you, I have two AP ROO reps and the look and feel is amazingly similar to the gen. I don't have the Safari rep yet, but I will soon. Once I've had it for a couple of days, I'm going to go back and try that gen on again. And if it looks and feels pretty much the same, I won't be shocked. And I won't be pining away for the gen, or feel that I'm missing out. Unless I had WAAAYYY more money than sense, for me, it seems nuts to spend 14 large on a stainless steel watch and an admittedly great movement, when for a couple of pennies on the dollar, I could have something so close to the original. I've been wearing a Bvlgari Diagano Titanium rep for a couple of days this week. Yesterday at lunch I walked into the Bvlgari store and tried on the gen. Other than the fact that the gen was so light I thought it might float away, I thought the rep was at least as good as the gen, and the rep strap was BETTER than the gen strap. The text on the rep was crisp and clear and on the gen was kinda sloppy and smeared. I was really surprised. The quality of the reps these days is hard to believe, compared to the fake Rolex I bought in Tijuana 20 years ago.

Goddamn, this one gives me a chub. Is there a rep of it available with that strap?
