Wow looks stunning!

Nice kaleidoscope picture. Looks very cool. I have a J12 version on order and can't wait for it to arrive.

Very nice looking Safari. Does this model come with the tang buckle rather than the Deployant? I would like to convert all of my (3) AP ROO's to the tang buckle, as I find the deployant very uncomfortable.

I actually prefer the clasp to a buckle so on this I'm putting on a gen Hornback and clasp. With it though I have a rubber strap and clasp coming as I may use this on my Diver.

Great looking watch. Congrats

QC pics from today

Thanks Ken.

lol. I didn't want to get told to stand in the corner. The site is still down. Hopefully back up soon

Hopefully not sinful to mention RWI. Anyone know why it's down? I've not been able to get on for about 1-2 days

Thanks. I've ordered it based on all the positive feedback. Look forward to receiving it!

No worries. Order placed. Hopefully have a new safari soon. Means the old one will be up for sale

So they do awnser ;-)

Not sure I get your joke! I got the pics from their website.

Legend. That's a stunning piece. Is your deployment from AP?

Better pic to show dial colour and texture on rep

Looking to pick up a Safari from Puretime today. Never ordered from them before but read good things.

Here are original and rep pics.

Also picked up an AP Hornback and clasp yesterday too

A few questions though.

I've emailed and PM'ed Puretime on a number of occasions with no reply. Do they reply back to messages?

How long does it usually take to receive the watch? I'm in the UK.

Have the dial colour issues been resolved on the latest J12?

Thanks!

Great looking watch. I have small wrists so lean towards the 42mm. But that is one 44mm I would consider!

Despite the costs, I'm a big fan of buying original straps. I don't think any rep strap will ever be up to the right standard.

Interesting seeing both side by side. For me the 15400 looks better. I like the thinner bezel

I know the feeling. In one month I've bought 3. A ROO Safari, Chronopassion, and Diver. Annoyingly two are in transit.

I can't wait to take a group shot once they are all here!

That looks like a legend!

Wow that really is a stunner. Did you wear a rep into the store?

Not sure on the Cartier. I'm more of an AP man but it's all about personal choice!

Many thanks for taking the time out to reply.

I've been reading up as much as possible on this and other sites to understand the intricacies of Rep APs. The whole franken and upgrade options are pretty much amazing, and love the way some people have improved on the base quality to get it to such a high standard!

Its very addictive though! I've just purchased a Safari with oem strap, and a Diver with SS strap and black face. Waiting for both to be delivered so very impatiently waiting!

Hi all. I'm new to the forum. Always been a big fan of AP especially the ROO models.

Quick question on the makers and suppliers. I've seen manufacturers like noob mentioned. What is the difference in their finished product and which are preferred and avoided. Also why.

Thanks in advance

Thanks. How have you found the quality of the watch and strap? Do you think it will last well over time?

Wow that's a serious timepiece. Good choice!
