Deployant options for 5212A
So, I just got a call from the AD offering me a 5212A. I strongly like the watch but would prefer a deployant to the prong buckle. Unfortunately no other dress watches from PP are steel, so I’m wondering if one could in theory use an Aquanaut deployant (the only alternative is the 5726A deployant that has NAUTILUS engraved on it).
I don’t own an Aquanaut, but if I understood correctly it’s 18mm on the clasp side, and the notches with which the strap ends are attached to the deployant are held in place with common 18mm spring bars. So in theory, I should be fine ordering a set of 20/18mm fitted straps with no holes and no long or short end, just two identical halves of the same length... correct? Anyone else has a good idea for an alternative? I’m assuming getting a 5522A clevis prong buckle id not going to be possible through any AD. |

(Stating the obvious) you could get a white gold deployant, which is what I did...

Ended up using a 18K clevis prong from the 5524G. Looks good, methinks! Taupe leather from ACM |

Your only option is the WG 16mm model.

Well spotted! Oh it's just the angle. Really difficult to take good pics without reflections. My sales associate was holding a catalog on top to shield the lights and I was taking the pic with my phone at an awkward angle.
