Does anyone have an Aquanaut on a steel bracelet?
Pictures? What are your thoughts on steel vs. rubber strap for looks and comfort?

I think that it looks good on steel. Very Nautilus look! Thanks!

The steel bracelet versions are more readily available and you could probably negotiate a sale wherein the dealer will give you a free rubber bracelet and deployant. While I own neither, I loved the rubber 5167 I tried on but the steel bracelet version I tried on made the watch dial and case look small. The 5167 metal bracelet doesn't taper like a normal metal bracelet (Rolex oyster, AP Royal Oak, 5711) should. My 2 cents

I have seen the 5167 with steel bracelet on the wrist of several Patek AD salespeople. The SS bracelet looks fine, although IMO the rubber strap looks better.

The 5167 was made for the rubber bracelet in my humble opinion.The dial matches the rubber design and it's super lightweight and not a scratch magnet like the steel bracelet.
