DD GT3 RD Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 emailed with HKtan and his strap is $269 and say it will take about 2 weeks to make. APbands.com has their band in stock but is $349 (link below) http://apbands.com/shop/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=ROO-PARTCAPO-CHOCOLATE&Category_Code=ROO-HORN-ALL&Product_Count=4 I read twice on here that the band the Rep AP safari comes with is of poor quality so I thought to get something good. Do you guys recommend one of the above over the other?
coolwatchdude Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 I think it was mentioned somewhere in the AP forum that APband makes the best aftermarket. then HKTan. I've seen decent Donerix ones (avg $169?). assuming you're not willing to fork out the dough for OEM. Goodluck. Planning on picking up a Safari?

Should be here end of this week or beginning of next. How much is an AP strap? assuming around $1000
jeffw69 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 I just got my Safari from Andrew, watch is awesome, rep strap is nasty. I read somewhere, can't remember that a Gen strap is $1300. I am almost definite that I will be going with Aaron-HKTan on this one. Jeff
pabler Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Try Jacob. Jacobstraps.com Good price, excellent quality.
Watchmeister Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 I read somewhere, can't remember that a Gen strap is $1300. I don't think you are right on the gen straps. I was at the AD (boutique) several weeks ago and asked . From memory I believe the prices were $3oo ish for leather, $400 ish for regular crocodile amd $500 ish for hornback. The deployant is what is very expensive so that may be how you heard $1300. Any AD is happy to order them for you if you walk in the door.
DD GT3 RD Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Posted October 13, 2011 just placed my order with HK Tan. He said it should be sent out this week.
jeffw69 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Watchmeister, that is good to know, thanks. Too bad the AD is two hour drive or i'd be there, maybe this weekend. Jeff
MADRED7 Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 Allthough I do like Aarons straps....when it comes to accuracy and fit, you cannot beat APBands straps. The fit-to-the-case is the most evident....Aarons straps have "rounded" ends for the case attachment....whereas APBands fit 100%. I would sign-in for APbands newsletter and wait for their next SALE....you can at least save on shipping! Theo
