Sorry to hear buddy. I sort of figured as much.

Not discontinued at all, as I pointed out in the link in post #145 – it's restricted to owners of the LE model it was designed for. |

Semantics. Nobody has that watch so for all intents and purposes it’s discontinued.

It's far from being semantic – check the definition of both words, and you'll see why. |

What I mean is towards the end of that babble. The point you are arguing does not really matter as everyone here knows the OP doesn’t have a green aquanaut or this conversation wouldn’t be happening! In other words, the green strap is discontinued for everyone except the very few who happen to own the green aqua. In other news, has anyone on trf got one? I don’t think even Khalid? https://www.merriam-webster.com/word...rgue-semantics

I have a green strap and I had the dumb luck of being at the AD when he had one. I got mine in May 2017 and wear it on the 5164.

Has anyone seen some of the recent asking prices for the green strap?
In short - they've reached a comical level. I thought $800-$1,000 for one a few months ago was ridiculous. Recently, one on the 'Bay sold for $2,600 even though it was used and cut. Others I've seen sell for $2,000. Whoever has a green Aquanaut out there basically has a license to print money right now! |

I have the green on my 5167. It actually matches the lume and thus coordinates very well. I prefer the green to the black and will probably leave it on the watch. I think I may have gotten the last green from HS. Talk about weird timing and blind luck.

Try the brown strap as well. The dial on the aquanaut looks greyish brown at times and the brown one really highlights this.

Green or brown both looks stunning on the aqua,green gives a military accent the brown matching beautifully w the dial.

Pretty confident AD not selling unless you have the LE Aquanaut that came with it. I’m a buyer of an 8” strap at 1k if anyone selling.

Wow. Last time I checked the market for one they were about $900, but this was quite sometime ago. Happy I got mine when I did, had no idea they were trading north of $2,000!!!

yep. Same goes for blue straps/orange straps. You need the watch its for in theory. Some AD's have gotten blue straps for people though, but im pretty sure they didn't tell patek it was for a 5164 when they ordered it.

i doubt they would sell them in bulk to somone even if they had the correct watch for it. Who knows, they might want the old strap back.
