Incoming and first Patek
 
Very excited to say that after a couple years of Rolex that I’ve entered the Patek family of watches. I love the Aquanaut!

I believe the only thing I’d change would be to add 1/2 link availability or a micro adjustment on the bracelet. Will see how it feels when outside tomorrow.

Regardless, love the watch and look forward to wearing it for many years to come!

Congrats man. Looks great! Love the bracelet. Did you or are you getting the strap too?

Congrats bud :thumbsup: I like the bracelet on the 67 as it gives more heft to the watch which I like after wearing it for some time now

Congrats! The aquanaut is a great starter. There is a 1 1/2 link available for order, talk to your AD

Thanks all! I have ordered the rubber strap.

Will ask about the 1/2 link tomorrow. Appreciate the info!

Where are you based?

My AD says 1a cannot simply order a rubber strap. PP are supposed to be very strict about this.

An AD can easily order a black 5167 or black 5164a strap (quite common for them to have a few straps in stock). Getting the blue for 5164 (5650g original ref with it) is quite hard and green rubber for the 5167 is no longer available. Should also be able to order the deployant clasp as my AD just received one I requested so I can change from the bracelet 67 whenever.

If your AD wont order one, just call up another and someone should be able to help you

Wait: told my AD I wanted one about a year ago and haven’t heard much since. Showed up at the store to visit and it was there...he said don’t feel obligated! [emoji23]

Congrats! I love the 5167 on the bracelet. Originally I purchased mine on rubber and found it to be too light. My AD got me a bracelet and although it was quite expensive I wear it a lot more. Plus, I think the bracelet just looks cool too.

BigAppleBill 1 December 2019 12:22 PM

Congrats! Beautiful watch!

woof 2 December 2019 03:43 AM

Awesome watch!!! congrats

srvrf 2 December 2019 09:03 AM

Congrats! The 1.5 link made the fit just right for me. It’s a shame that they don’t just include one in the original bracelet. The rubber strap is awesome too.

Congrats. Mine says hi.

I really like the lightness of the Rubber strap plus my other daily - a WG Sub - is on a bracelet so I wanted something different. When they cut the rubber make sure it is not too tight as that is what you will be stuck with. Mine is a little loose, which I prefer anyway.

Grats!

Nephro 2 December 2019 11:29 AM

Congrats! I just recently put myself on “the list” for the 5167 on bracelet at my AD. Will see how long it takes...

I think getting the strap is easy after getting the bracelet version...but I've heard the clasp needed for the rubber strap will cost you another £1000 (UK) or so from the AD. Anyone able to confirm?

rw2008 3 December 2019 12:13 AM

Congratulations! Really looks great.

Quite the addition to go along with this amazing season you're having! I'm going to my first game in Tiger Stadium next year!

Geaux Tigers!
