Did the piece also come with the waterproof Patek faux leather strap?

Wow, nice. Very impressive to be able and acquire this Nautilus as your first PP.

He must have a great relationship with them.

I was offered and bought mine this year, but only after buying another PP and several Rolex’s, PAMs and some jeweler for my wife. Enjoy.

The leather strap is alligator and is not water proof.
I keep mine on the other strap, the rubber “faux leather” strap as it is water and sweat proof and I think looks really nice as well.

Big congrats! :-)

I tried the rubber and decided to swap back to the leather. Will be appreciated if anyone can share the photos of third parties‘ rubber strap!

I’m not sure what the purpose of these questions are. Do you assume that you will be able to get something any easier than another AD? There are lots of factors that go into a situation and at this point no easy way in.

Regardless, congrats on the Nautilus, consider a aftermarket rubber strap if desired as well, RubberB perhaps?

Congratulations! The 5172G is quite underrated for a Nautilus. I do hope that they will make the rubber strap the same as the ones on the Aquanaut (sized and cut) then it will be perfect!
