audemar piguet safari

[baruch]

Dear forum members,

Im from the other watch forum,RWG called.

Know Mine collection is growing and I really want to purchase a Audemar Piguet, I just fell in love with the safari with the brown hornback strap.

I really want to have it, but did someone did a review of this watch?

Please let me know, I want to buy the sec@12 one.

Whell hope you can help me out because on the other forum they dont do incredible reviews like you guys.

Greets,

I don't have a review but I can let you know what its like.

First be prepared sec@12 can be temperamental, had to get mine looked at , it now it works fine and dandy , but the second hand just wasn't smooth or consistent when i first got it, though the watch appeared to keep time.

The strap they come with is rubbish, brown doesn't seem ever to be able to work if its cheap. Black rep straps are passable , Brown especially crocs and gators look cheap and scream fake. So if inclined you will need to factor in a new strap these are not cheap 150$ + .

The newer Safari with the Cream/off white dial and lighter subdials is the one to get.

ROO's demand attention, they are big watches that draw your eyes to them, so be prepared that people will check your watch out.

Saying that the Safari out of all the ROO's, is perhaps a more subtle varient; less Show'y that the others.

Mine's on a HKTan Hornback and I dont wear it everyday but I still think its a good watch to have in your collection, they are very well constructed and a high quality build.

YESSS THATS THE ONE!!!!!!! thats what i want, the creamy dial colour and I want a brown hornback strap, I knbew that the rep straps are just bad.

But mine question is, on the original the screws are white gold and very shiny, do they shine on the rep as well?

Thank you for reading and replying.

Well I never knew that about the screws. Because of the brushed nature of the case the screws are a definate contrast. I think they look ok but I suppose you could give them a polish or even a plate if you really want to. You'd have to be really a ROO expert to know though.

Damn!!! Its just such a beauty, but im just hesitating.

Im not really wel known by this forum, but do you have modders that mod AP´s

If so could some one give me the email adress, i tried the search button, but unfortunately know luck.

You should ask the dealer you bought your watch from for a new buckle if you need one. You should be able to source a dealer that can get it, if not I'd suggest you buy a black rubber strap, they mostly look good on any AP and you can use the buckle on the leather strap as well
