PSA: Tried the 5168G Blue Strap on 5167A...

Just wanted to make a quick post to let everyone know that I tried the 5168G Midnight Blue Strap on 5167A... and it didnt work.

We all knew the thickness of the watches is different but turns out the main blocker was that the lug holes are slightly off and that is what caused the strap not to latch on. The metal pins placement and size were identical.

Just wanted to let everyone know as I couldn't find any confirmation when researching. It's unfortunate as I think it would look great!

Onto continuing to search for a Khaki one that I'll never find at a reasonable price haha

My AD told me it didn’t fit when I enquired about an orange strap for my 5167

Sadly I don't think it would... this 5168G works on a 5164 but not on a 5167. I suspect the 5650G strap would be the same...
But that looks GORGEOUS, congrats!!

Could be. 5250G and 5164a are 40.8mm, possible it would be a touch too large.

Well, 5168g is 42.2mm. So quite a bit larger than the 5164 or 5650. Still might be worth a try.

Oh well yes, I saw your photos of the blue on 5164. I was referring to 5167.

Hi All,

Any idea if the 5168 blue strap works on the 5164? I know the 5650 blue straps works on the 5164, but what about the 5168?

Cheers.

So is there a blue strap that would fit the 5167? I want to confirm the answer is no.

5650 strap does work on the 64, don't think the 5168 will if it won't on the 67.

I have my 5164A on a 5650 midnight blue strap as well! Perfect seamless fit

Sorry to add to the confusion, but does anyone know whether the 5168 straps will fit on a 5164?

So far the only starps that works on my 5167 is the brown and khaki strap and of course the black one.

Blue and orange will not fit as what the others had said
