AP Offshore Safari!

[daytona4me]

I'm not an AP Offshore fan. But when I saw this,, I was really supprised.

I think I would buy this one if it were made.

I like the numbers on the dial as apposed to sticks, etc..

This is a pretty basic post but thought I would share the pics as I have not seen anyone talking about this model.

What do you guys think about it? Maybe the dealers can push for this model??

This movement might cause some serious problems

See this guy...built some stuff together with correct dial&correct working subdials.

Look at that price

Also really like the boney croc strap.....

This is as close as you will get (and not pay a fortune).... it´s MBW´s SINCERE white or some might call it SAFARI due to the strap.....it originally came with the ss bracelet and I exchanged with a handmade buttery soft caiman strap (the end-links were espacially machined to fit)
Enjoy
P.S.: ...don´t ask me where the strap is from, it was a one-off and he will not do it again

great looking combo...I love it....this AP's are damn expensive but it seems that i'll have to order more of them...not only the EOD i ordered a few days ago...

I like the Spiky-domed strap on the original Watch.
I don't know if someone will ever produce rep ou copy of these type of straps, but I think they look awesome.

for Pam1, your ROO looks good man! I love the combo with the leather strap. I will not ask where you got it, but it was a damn good idea....

If someone knows where to get AP straps tell me, I have looked around and except some Carbon Fiber model, I cannot find any leather ones.

dont get me started on AP ROO models. at first i thought they were OK, but now i love em. they have so many nice models out there and the safari is amazing. i love the hornback straps they have. the safari shouldnt be that hard to rep if they would be able to do the strap. cant wait for the new rubber clad bezel version to come out. heres some borrowed pics.

...if you can provide the correct sizes and meassurerments, you can give HKTan a try....he can surely build a horn back croc for AP ROO (cause I know he did before).

This is the piece he did for a friend:

 

[juanstar]

thanks pam1,
this HKtan's strap looks terrific...
I may give a try, indeed...

 

[turbogt]

I'm also begining to like AP ROO specially with those croc straps!

Cheers!

 

[horologie_unitas]

really beautiful watch...i would buy that model in a heartbeat !-
still i am also waiting for a good rep of the T3

if i had the funds- id get some models with ETA 7750....no doubt !

love the contrast of the safari

 

[d4m.test]

I'm currently speaking with the supplier to see if we can get this one done.....The Volcano.....also having a meet with a strap manf'r to see about 'bony croc' straps for the AP's.......hopefully something good comes out of it....!

VOLCANO

SAFARI WITH 'BONY CROC' STRAP

 

[PAM1A]

...eerrh and Neil, BTW....how about the old-style cases (like the one of the EOD) with blue/gray dial and stick markers??? PLEASE PLEASE ask them!!!

Safari on boney, is real nice, I like em but its alot to pay for a rep with the seconds in the wrong place,

 

[dadog13]

TTK...I am going to bankrupt if you are going to bring those beauties as reps...this AP ROO's are becoming my favs...cannot wait to receive the EOD...after getting it I think I'll soon have to face with End Of $$$ on my Bank Account...

BTW TTK...you could do some group shots of the EOD you are going to pick up for the delivery...it would be nice to have some additional photos to drool while the EOD's are on the way to us...

The volcano is realy cool,
kind of Flashy, but the combo with the croc strap and the orange stitching is great,

If these "little things" can be Rep, it will cost much muchos pesetas...
I am curious to know if the horn back strap can be reproduced, how good the quality will be.

I have heard that the Gen Strap costs almost as much as a good Gen Watch ... :?
