This means that indeed the 5164 straps will be too thick for the 5167. I believe that member 'SL Brabus' even posted a pic of the 5164 with 5167/1A-011 metal bracelet on one of the threads here on this forum (maybe the 'The OFFICIAL Patek Philippe Aquanaut Appreciation Thread... Let's see them!!' thread?) where the 'gap' is visible. I also found a picture on Pinterest
Apart from that and as a response to your question: I do not think that it will be possible to purchase a 5164 strap at the AD/a Salon as owner of the 5167A, unless you have a very specialist relationship where they are willing to bend the rules and please you.

Thanks for your reply! I checked the pic and you seem to be absolutely right. So I think the only options are getting an (incredibly rare) green 5167 strap or just wait for patek to discontinue the 5167A as well and come out with a 5167G in a different colour.
Would love to have an alternative to the all-black look.
