Where to buy Aquanut rubber bands online?

Hey guys

I'm looking for one of the bands for the Aquanut, I know they exist in brown and green.

Any chance of being able to buy them online?

If not, where?

Doubtful. I would assume patek ADs. I bought a replacemwnt black one from tiffanys Nyc in person. I would imagine you could walk into any miami AD but don't count on getting a green one. Ask Davidsw as he apparently got one, who knows how.

Thanks! I pinged David about it. I got the aquanaut from him anyways!

I went to a patek AD last Monday and they didn't have the green in stock. They ordered one for me and they think it'll take a month or two to ship to the store.

Did they make you bring yours in?

I called one and they said I had to bring my watch in, and that Patek would decide if they would sell me one or not.

Do you have a stainless steel?

Also how much did you pay?

No I didn't bring mine in. They just asked for the reference number. I didn't pay for it yet and silly thing is I didn't ask them the price. I hear on other threads that it's $250.

Yes I have SS.

Ok. My AD is one of those crooked ones. They want me to pay a deposit even.

Find another AD — and the green is a regular item, albeit made in lesser quantity than black and brown.

Why is it an issue to pay a deposit for what is most certainly a special order item? Anyone who takes issue with that is exactly the kind of person who would stiff a dealer. Doesn't sound crooked, sounds like good business, and instincts.

Why do you want to buy online? I recently bought a new Aquanaut strap from the Patek Salon in London. Excellent experience. Good service fitting / cutting the strap to my size and I even got a small Patek branded gift on top as well.

I'm happy to pay as long as they don't leave me hanging.

No direct PP here in Miami, just ADs. I was able to get the email of the person in charge of bands in NYC. Going to go directly.
