O knoe - 2 beautiful Aquanaut straps

Hideous. Also, the snug fit the OEM one has with the case is lacking, there is an unsightly gap. Look at how it is supposed to fit:

I’m going to say this nicely. The aquanaut is NOT a STRAP MONSTER.

I don’t mind a little variety. After all, they are just straps and can be changed. Since I have a small wrist, I’m a huge fan of integrated straps and bracelets.

I don’t think I’d ever order either of those for my 5167, but the original Aquanaut (5060) did not have the option of an integrated rubber strap. So that was the original intended look.

The older generation aquanauts are strap monsters. It's only since the 5165 and 5167 that the integrated gapless look is "in". I for one like the 5065 look. Pic to follow

I still don’t think it’s a strap monster... I can’t hear you.

I think if that chessboard one could be built up in such a way to come up against the case it could be very nice :D

Khaki does look good against the black/grey dial, might be worth making a custom one with no gap.

There is a company, I think Rubber B, that makes custom integrated straps for watches like the Aquanaut. I may check them out. I don't know if a color like blue or yellow would look good, but I think khaki would.

Just checked the Rubber B website. Great straps. But they only make Patek straps for the 5711, not for the Aquanaut. Disappointing.

I bought the green one. It really changes the look and makes it more 5065A-ish. Will get it end of the month and photos to follow.
