First choice would be an HKTan hornback. Amazing quality! Next in line I would say AP Bands.

check out jacobstraps, he is the best aftermarket strap maker imo...

Hi can you confirm if the gen safari horn back strap fits the rep, ie are the securing pins/screws the same depth/width? as I am thinking of getting a gen strap as its only £335 and the gen clasp is only £385 which considering how much some are ..I thought not as horrendous as I thought

It fits but it's not an easy fit. It is a PITA to get it fitted honestly. But it does.

Other than HKTan's e-mail does he have a website through which to contact him? Also, how did you guys get pics of what to expect? Last question. Is he able to make a strap without the taper (24mm throughout with PAM like buckle?)

PITA as in the pins don't line up or is it just very tight? Do the rep pins fit through the strap ok as I am told it has a metal sleeve through the gen strap? I hope it does as I've just ordered one :)

AP Bands is a rip off - you can get better straps from RWI strap makers.

The flip side is you have to very patient. Most watches come with nice shoes to begin with so if you do the time you reap the rewards.

Sorry for my late reply guys. It fits but it's very tight indeed :).
