Loving my 5167A

First month with this one and I’m just loving it. It’s become my daily wear really fast and now my other watches feel so much bulkier than they did before!

Definitely perfect daily watch . The simple date and time only watch we need and not more than that.

Yes, that’s a Tempomat strap. Just got the orange and green ones and I really like them. Obviously not one, but the fit and colors are great.

I was told by my AD that the orange strap does not fit the regular 5167A- only the black strap does.
Is this strap OEM?

the original orange strap comes with the 5968A, the chrono aquanaut in steel. it doesn't fit the 5167 case because it's 1mm wider.

Hey, the strap that I posted up top is not OEM, it's a Tempomat strap. The photo that WWC posted looks OEM to me, but I don't know if it is or not.

Not sure if the use of the Oem tire pattern is considered copyright infringement as none of the strap vendors like RubberB have replicated the pattern.

Thanks for noticing that and pointing it out! I’m sure you’re correct — all of the top rated/quality aftermarket straps seem to have their own pattern. I had that link saved for the day a 5167 falls into my hands and didn’t do much research beyond that, but I will definitely stick with a product like RubberB
