Aquanaut 5167/1a metal bracelet swap for rubber

Is it possible to order a rubber strap from patek (via AD) if I currently have the bracelet for the 5167 Aquanaut?

I just ordered a second black rubber strap to have as a backup and think it was around 200 bucks. I got the deployant clasp / buckle years ago and recall it being pretty pricey. Not sure on availability but if you call any of the authorized Patek service centers and they should be able to help you out.

Thanks for the help. Did you do it through your ad? I would need a clasp and strap.

FYI, May be fitment issues if you have an early aquanaut?

In early production of 5167 the strap and bracelet were not interchangeable.

Aftermarket is the best option

I personally love my 5167 on rubber & love changing strap colors. As original is not an option for price and difficulty of getting some colors like the khaki i found a company making great aftermarket straps. Same quality as original and the design is pretty cool. Share a shot on my orange strap and leave you the site in case it helps!http://www.tempomaterials.com

Can this rubber band be used on other models? If yes, how does it look?
