Icon14 OEM Patek Philippe pin & tube parts for Aquanaut & Nautilus...

For those who truly need OEM Patek Philippe pin & tube parts for Aquanaut & Nautilus...

Please see the pictures for the parts number..... If you order those parts from Patek Philippe Service Center or your AD it may take months....



Pin part number....^^^....





Tube part number....^^^.....

$20 for the pin

$10 for the tube

$15 for shipping.....

Lucky my AD order those parts free of charge.....

OR

You could go with the substitute pin and tube provide by Esslinger Watchermakers parts tools & supply....

https://www.esslinger.com/watch-band...in-assortment/

My watchmaker advice to by it from here....^^^.... Same quality as OEM Patek Philippe parts for $1.25 each....

Make sure you buy the 1mm pin.... The length is 30mm long... You will need to cut it to 20.40mm by using a Dremel....

https://www.esslinger.com/watch-band...nd-assortment/

As for the tube is only $1.10 each...

For the tube make sure you buy the 1.30mm.... You don't need to cut them....

I am not affiliated with the seller in anyway , just here to help out if you ever need those parts....

Actually my buddies watch. He had a 3 month wait lol

I like this a lot...


Also no I’m not going to work at the T stamp,... lost the drive to care here. I’ve also told them I will never go into the NYC flagship to even look at diamonds. So if they can’t get it to Boston or other stores... it’s a deal breaker...

That said. The Boston branch sent this yesterday... nice gesture but wtf do I do with flowers?

I know this thread is old. But man oh man great thread. Thanks for the review. I am like you and like the 5167a. Had no it could be changed to 3 different factory model straps. Not a big fan of bracelet version and never knew it could be in leather. Leather is very cool.

Glad you like the review, my friend......

That what make the 5167 so great, for the people who like everything in original equipment manufacturer...

It can cover all 3 occasion (sports wear, casual wear, and formal wear) just by changing different type of OEM strap.... Such bracelet, rubber, and crocodile leather strap with pin buckle or Calatrava cross deployant clasp....

Good to know that you enjoy the review..... That is the old price chart (5-18-18).....

Just for the fun of it.... Let do a comparison of old price chart (5-18-18) vs new price chart (9-21-20)





Top old price chart (5-18-18)******VS*****Bottom new price chart (9-21-20)




Up, Up, and Away...??...^^^...
......

Going price give & take......^^^.....

Doesn’t the one on bracelet cost more than the one on the rubber?

To answer your question.....

If you were to buy from the AD or Boutique at retail price, the bracelet version cost more.....

You mention that you not a fan of the bracelet version....

Then I suggest you to get the rubber version, if you could get it at the AD or Boutique for retail price.......

As a reminder...... Make sure you 110% sure regarding what you want (rubber version)....

Some members regret later on that they should had bought the bracelet version because they loss the option of be able the switch back and forth, between bracelet and rubber....

Another thing worth mentioning it's use to be true regarding it was easier to get the bracelet version from the AD..........

My AD told me that now days the 5167 is popular than ever and in high demand regardless bracelet version or rubber version...... Both have the same time frame of wait lists...

People starting to buy smart, they pick the bracelet version and buy the optional rubber strap with clasp so they can be able to switch back and forth...

Now we going to talk about the secondary market price (rubber vs bracelet)

Depend on supply, demand and location.....

If same condition with box and paper..... And cost the same.....

No matter what the bracelet version is a better buy at that price.... With the extra fund that you save, could get a brand new rubber strap & deployant clasp form Patek Philippe......

Another thing I notice people who has both rubber & bracelet, they tend to sell quicker......

Hope this reply help to your questions....

Thank you for sharing. I have been tracking 5167a for awhile. I just don’t see myself ever wanting the bracelet. I guess time will tell.

Outstanding review Tony!
Your coverage of this watch plays a very big factor in me getting a 5167 bracelet.

Should be able to pick it up later this afternoon. Looking forward to pairing the 5167 with a leather strap as well!
