Samurai Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Broke down and ordered the Don Ramon last night. I know it has it's flaws (non gold AP logo....color on tachy and sub-dials not the same and the missing hallmarks on the case-back). However, there's a very remote possibility that I will bump in to someone who has seen/handled a gen or for that matter even knows about this LE release. So..now the important part is to get a nice strap to go with this baby. The choices, as I see it, are... APBands and HKTan. Would really appreciate any other suggestions... I have written to Aaron to figure out what straps does he have in stock-ready to ship. Still waiting to hear from him. Here is a pic of the watch for reference: The AP Bands that I looked @ is: >>> Not sure if I should get this in off-white stitch or black: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgematic1 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Also take a look at Jacobstraps. Not very well-known but his straps are hot! The quality is at least as high as APbands & HKTan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 For whatever it's worth, I think a "honey brown" or "cognac" color strap is the best match for the rose gold AP... and my vote is for black stitch. Genuine hornback will look super sharp on that watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 How about this one? It's a HKTan brown hornback with brown stitching: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samurai Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Sure will take pics. Decide to go with the HK Tan strap as posted above. The strap should arrive around the same time as the watch. Can't wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most dealers should be able to get this. Mine is coming from Josh. The logo on the dial should be gold in color. The pictures floated on the net by AP have the same whitish logo as the rep (this is a common practice to try n fool the rep makers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkdk Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Its definetly my favorite rep. I actually got the chance to buy the gen brown rubber strap for it. The colors are really amazing. the gen is 45.000 eu now, its a tuff one to pull off :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
