AP ROO MH Hornback Strap from HKTan

[Sbybbuser]

As soon as I paid for my AP ROO MH, I immediately contacted HKTan/Aaron to order a hornback strap.
From my limited time and knowledge here, I gathered that he is the man to go for AP Hornback Strap.
Luckily, all the time I spent here actually pays off.
Today, I received an amazing strap from Aaron.
Mind you that I have seen the gen MH Hornback Strap. And IMHO, Aaron's strap can be passed as gen easily.
I will let the pictures do the talking.

Some pics of the gen white rubber strap I bought while waiting for the one from Aaron arrived.
(I might sell this since the hornback looks too awesome and expensive; the white rubber looks a bit too boyband-ish)

Here comes THE MH hornback strap:

Upper part ( Hornback is big and centered):

Lower part (Also big and centered):

Full view:

As you can see, the hornbacks line up in the middle. I don't quite know how to make sure that this is a one piece leather/hornback or stitched up.
If I have to choose between one piece strap that has a small tilted hornback to this, I will take this everytime.
But I think this is a one piece anyway. If it is not, then Aaron is a jedi master in strap making.

Here's the wristshot:

That white rubber looks nice, mind sharing where you got it?
The hornback looks stunning on that watch. Enjoy!

That's a beauty, can't beat that combo on the MH!

The white rubber is gen.
Got it from a local store.

Looks great but the six subdial is driving me nuts

I thought Aaron does not use gen hornbacks?

I think the white would look good on the Navy themes

this is not a gen hornback, it's an insert like most of his straps.
I understand the OP likes the strap, but there's no way it can "pass as an OEM one" or whatever.
typical HK strap, nicely made with a fake insert horn.

Didn't we already conclude that the Gen may very well use inserts as well? It's a beautiful strap man!! I have one from Orloff on the way!

Not all HK's are inserts. Where did you get that info?

Guess the maker:

Orloff I guess

 

[cayman909]

looks like Donnerix or its gen. He uses square cut ends. A friend told me that Orloff uses rounded cut ends.
