Alright so I've searched the forum a bunch of times but haven't seen this topic. APbands vs HKTan vs Jacob Straps vs Donerix (Hamilton leather) if you have one of these please post some pics! If you have more than one please tell me your thoughts. I've got an gen oem black on black one I paid $750 for a few months back but want some more options. Thanks!

If I am not mistaken, he just started to after he was able to get some custom inserts made in order to address fitting. Check him out again.

The inserts make the fitment closer to the OEM AP's. I ordered one from him this morning.
Here are some quick snaps of my gen ap hornback. Custom ordered by a member over at TRF's for his diver, but it wasn't to his taste so I was able to purchase it. Scooped the diver buckle over at PuristS from a good friend. Had it since last year and have been wearing it on my black themes.
Finally located a v3.5 and am getting it shipped today!! I asked Ryan, Toro, Hont and Angus daily for QC's and if they had any. I they may have wanted to figure out a way to block my endless messages. I also bothered some members here on RWI (you know who you are! haha)
I like this strap because it accepts the diver tang and is an ap oem not an aftermarket oem. I got lucky that I had the funds when I saw it for sale.

Here's a pic (some of you may have seen it) from the previous owner of the strap on his diver. I think he may have changed his mind and gotten another black on black ap hornback after he sold his old one...then again those that can afford a gen diver have more spend on straps..
Damn you're annoying! :cheers:
I can't wait to put my Hornback on the 3.5
Actually, I have one coming for my RB and one for my diver. Wait till you get it. You're going to love it!

I can't wait! I'll post pics once I put the shoes on the diver, I know you'll do the same. Thanks again!Ordered this one for my Diver from Eric as well as I love grey straps. I will post some pics here once I receive and mount it.
This fits between 6' and 7 1/4' smaller wrist like I do have.. The Diver has longer "lug to lug ' length at about 52cm . This shorter strap works just as fine..
I just sold an AP Strap that was 110/65 . That's an average length and will fit 7 1/4 " wrists. 95/65 will not. Take a look at this chart that I've used for a long time.
110/65 (6.3-6.7in wrist size)
115/70 (6.7-7.0 in wrist size)
120/75 (7.0-7.5 in wrist size)
125/80 (7.5-7.8 in wrist size)
130/85 (7.8-8.2 in wrist size)
That's why I assumed your strap was for a lady.
110/65 (6.3-6.7in wrist size)
115/70 (6.7-7.0 in wrist size)
120/75 (7.0-7.5 in wrist size)
125/80 (7.5-7.8 in wrist size)
130/85 (7.8-8.2 in wrist size)

Is you strap from Eric for a V3? Is the spacing for the buckle tang wide enough or did you have to modify it to make it fit?

As stated above, I'm officially making AP straps, which include my custom inserts. These are made with alligator leather which is superior to hornback IMO.
A bunch of insert blanks fresh off the press. I sand & clean-up the flash prior to using them for a strap build.
