Assuming I can get an OEM or Rubber B strap, which colored straps would look good on a plain 5167? I'd like a blue, red, orange or khaki. Or something similar.

Something bright for sure. That watch looks so good with a bright strap. I’d say orange.

The original looks the best.

I like the brown one from the 5167R. The warm color softens the overall appearance. I believe there are no blue or orange OEM straps that fit, the red one may not be available, and khaki is just a fad in my view. I'd stay clear of non-OEM rubber and leather straps.

always black

Khaki

AK797 · 29 February 2020, 10:17 PM

Khaki, blue, but best on 64 though, or grey, matches the dial best, would work.

Thanks, everyone. I will talk to my AD and see what they can order. I would like blue, Khaki, or yellow.

The khaki was discontinued in October 2018 anymore. The SKU can no longer be ordered

locutus49 · 1 March 2020, 04:35 PM

Okay, thanks. Blue or Yellow it is. Hopefully they look okay.

There is no yellow strap for the aquanaut. Also none of the blue straps from other aquanaut models fit the 5167, your only choices are the brown or original black.
The only other straps made for the 5167 are khaki and red but you can only get those if you have the specific model that they are meant to come with.
Rubber B are releasing straps for the 5167 but there aren’t any pictures yet.

WOW, these straps are hard to get.

This got me thinking of different colors for my 5168. I love the 5968 w/ orange strap, but what about on a 5168?

Please forgive my terrible photoshop skills. What do you think?

Threads like this show why Rubber B are releasing an Aquanaut range. If they get it right, it could give the likes of the 5167A a whole new life - I love the idea of having 3 or 4 different colour straps to interchange depending on what I am wearing/where I am going. Though of course I wish Patek offered them, but let's see what Rubber B have come up with. Their Nautilus straps are very good, are they not?

This is all they have for now. I wish they showed what it will look like: https://rubberb.com/blog/aquanaut/?f...8ms65jeJNxCCrs

If it look great & the price is right, I bet there will be a back order.....

That's pretty cool - I just signed up on their waitlist. Would be fun to put a new color on the Aquanaut.
