Pics of your Aquanauts on aftermarket straps?
I've just picked up a 5167a. Really liking the standard strap but I'm interested to see photos of them on different straps.
Would you mind posting up photos if you've done this? Thanks |

Congrats on the pick up, another month another great incoming
After the 116500 I've shortlisted a battle between a 15400 and the 5167a Has it taken pride of place over the Daytona, which slightly off topic but how's it after a month on the wrist? And any chance of a side by side pic? |

Personally, I’d skip spending time on it, and opt for a custom grey suede from the likes of JacobStraps or Dangerous9.

Thanks for the pics :-)
That sounds like a good option. Grey would work well with the dial; the dial which I assumed was very plain, but is actually bloody wonderful! |

There's a green rubber composite strap from Patek that I'd like to get my hands on.

I haven't been strongly tempted by the 5167 until I saw this pic. Does anyone here have it or any more pics? |

Same as the brown and black, but may be a special order, which could mean a 6-8 week delivery timeframe. |

I've been away from the site for a little while so I'm not really up to date on recent threads. When did this strap surface? Any story? Did pp make it just to give a new look for the 5167/64? Same price as black strap? Thanks for any additional info! I like it.

I take it you can no longer purchase the green dial Aquanaut? |

So is it safe to assume based on the underwhelming results of this thread is that most people are happy with the oem rubber, rather than using. an aftermarket strap?

The dial goes quite well with the rubber strap, and it's comfortable.

I also like the tropical strap(s) best of all the pics I have seen.

When I changed my bracelet model 5167 1A to tropical rubber strap, I can choose black or brown colour strap, there is no restriction of color as long as there is stock available.
