JohnnyChingas Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Seeing as some people don't use the search function (took me all of 60 secs), here's some 'real world' photos of my strap... Is your strap Gen or Rep? And if it is Gen or Rep can you take a pic of your strap where it says haf or gaf? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Is your strap Gen or Rep? And if it is Gen or Rep can you take a pic of your strap where it says haf or gaf? Thanks *sigh* it's gen...note the lack of dust, the smooth matt look, and the brushed flawless SS finish on the buckle incl. sharp engraving. Don't mean to sound grumpy but I wish some of you people would actually read the entire thread never mind use the bloody search function (how very 'Bricktop' of me no? ) and read all the other dozen threads on this strap - I actually posted a full set of photos in one of the original threads, including the area you 'request' I photograph . Anyway, it's exactly as per Silix photos except for the letter change - not exactly sure why anyone would want to obssess over this detail anyway as it is unseen either on or off the wrist. It was a mildly curious/amusing remark about the initials that's all. @Chronus - Athens here we come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dario33 Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 I'm tempted to hold out and see how Josh/Andrew's rubber strap will compare... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to know if maybe somehow those reps have been leaked and have been sold or were/are available for purchase before they hit the rep market? If you don't know no problem but I guess I will have to post pics to show you what I am talking about. Just let me read up on PugW's how to camera tutorial so I can get some decent shots.

piratedzeus Posted April 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Alright. I have confirmation that the rubber strap for Josh/Andrew/Angus won't be pure rubber. I think the Silix strap isn't too, I asked him about that and he said that they cut the gen strap to check the structure... but with all the dust it doesn't seem to be pure rubber.... Straps will be quite the same I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dario33 Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Thanks for the confirmation. So I guess price is the only tell as to which dealer we'll be buying from. Silix's is quite accurate (HAF,?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solicitor Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 I don't know about you guys, but I find this "GAF" vs. "HAF" discussion hilarious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyChingas Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 I don't know about you guys, but I find this "GAF" vs. "HAF" discussion hilarious... Please explain. I'd like to know why it's funny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Please explain. I'd like to know why it's funny? Do I have to say it again??? Even though I've said it already about 5 posts up this thread??? Obviously I do... (re. GAF / HAF on underside strap beneath keeper) not exactly sure why anyone would want to obssess over this detail anyway as it is unseen either on or off the wrist. It was a mildly curious/amusing remark about the initials that's all. i.e. some of you need to get out more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
