Ted Su makes the BEST hornback straps. See if he will make a custom BR one, most strap makers will notch it out for ya.

Congrats, beautiful watch! I can only imagine your excitement at the moment! I truly love AP's, especially the Offshore line. Enjoy that amazing piece!

Very nice indeed Altair, but damn you for telling us that they now have in-house movements!! Arrrgh!!!! That now means that the ONLY reason for me not to buy one is a lack of cash!!!! :wink:

No in all seriousness, money aside, the lack of an in-house movement was the only thing that prevented me from wanting to own one, but you've just blown that out of the water. The Safari is without doubt the best of the bunch IMO, and the colours just work superbly. I've never been able to try an AP, but even from looking at your pics I see that the quality of that strap is something else. :bow: I think I officially NEED one now! :wink:

Many congrats Altair - how on earth are you going top it?! :)


:yeahthat thanks for saving me typing that D8 but thats EXACTLY how i feel

Damn it, given breitlings poor releases i have added more non B's to my list and this just makes it worse

Right on! Ted Su straps come from very good hides, but the craftsmanship is lacking IMO. AP had better quality hides and the craftsmanship is downright perfect. In fact I wanted to get a black hornback for my Safari and I cant imagine anything but an OEM strap (even though it is 600USD for just the strap without any hardware)

Wow. Never been a fan of AP, but this is just an awesome piece. And I completely agree on the colors, that watch and strap combo are pretty much perfect. Anyone know where I can make 15-20k really fast? :P
