StormTooper4 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 Quick post and dirty picture, its new , its a big lump of metal It is very nice indeed, except the strap and buckle me no likey , been spoilt with PAM leather I guess. But it is an incredible chunk of watch. ST4
hiker01 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 Looks sweet, Stormy! Is that an updated dial? FYI! Don't get the APBands strap, it's a pain to install! Cheers and enjoy the new Hunk! F-
wheaton26 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 congrats! i sent my v2 off to The Zigmeister today for a full service and installation of an oem strap. there is some modding that needs to be done to get it to fit. hopefully he can sort it out ... fingers crossed!
StormTooper4 Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Posted September 5, 2009 Cheers guys Yep supposed to be updated dial will take some better pictures another time. There is a definite contrast on the subdials but its a very light cream on the dial. Has anyone had and experience of hxxp://strapluxe.com are they OK? ST4
neverworn Posted September 5, 2009 Report Posted September 5, 2009 looks realy nice! wear it in good health
bertieng Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 V2??? From whom you got his upgraded dial version? Been waiting for it for a long time.
StormTooper4 Posted September 7, 2009 Author Report Posted September 7, 2009 TrustyAndrew it was my first purchase from him. He seems to have the best price and it was a very quick delivery. Its not left my wrist since it arrived ST4
silverspeed Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 Great looking Safari, the new dial is a great improvement +1 for the HKTan strap, the wait might not be that long...I've ordered some straps from Aaron recently and the delivery time wasn't half as long as it used to be
StormTooper4 Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Posted September 8, 2009 Thanks for the strap tips guys, I think you are right HK would be the best option, I am going to wait ab it and see how this Sec@12 runs before buying a new strap. ST4
MADRED7 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 Thanks for the strap tips guys, I think you are right HK would be the best option, I am going to wait ab it and see how this Sec@12 runs before buying a new strap. ST4 Is it dead or still allive after these days???? ....now I think about a SAFARI again with that updated dial....I have a wonderful strap for it. Theo This is a cayman-leather strap, handmade with an extremely nice pattern....no hornback but a great looker!
StormTooper4 Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Posted September 11, 2009 Nice strap T. Watch is on the bench of a watchsmith. Had a bit of fun taking it apart this morning. Hopefully its nothing to serious seems like second hand was getting stuck becuase it was touching the dial. We wait for the verdict some time next week. ST4
neverworn Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 mann this looks awesome theo!! made for a safari
Mickey Padge Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 Nice watch, I think this strap would work really well with that dial http://apbands.com/shop/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=APBANDSSAMPLE4&Category_Code=SAMPLES&Product_Count=0 Great price too! Easy to tone down a little with some leather oil I tweaked the picture a little, I hope you don't mind!
StormTooper4 Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Posted September 12, 2009 Nice enhancement MP, Safari is back in action and working well. Will take some more pictures soon. Have to say build quality of parts is very impressive.
