Bracelet is great too!
I bought mine both with the stainless steel bracelet and the rubber strap. After trying both on at the AD I decided to give a go to the bracelet first, and I must say it is fantastic. I like it better than the bracelets of the former Aquanaut models. I does not produce the contrast that rubber and steel produce, of course, but it does give the watch a very rugged appearance. Sporty and strong at the same time.
Nevertheless, the time is coming to try the strap on... Does anyone know if it is easy to change the strap on one's own, or is is better to go to the AD just in case? I am useless at this changing strap business, anyway. I even have problems with my Panerais, ha-ha-ha!
Patek 5167 Strap Question
Hey guys. I'm interested in buying a sporty watch which can be "knocked about" and was seriously considering the IWC 7-Day Power Reserve and the Breguet Marine Automatic Big Date... until my AD suggested the Patek 5167. To be honest, I had brushed it off ...
here you go
I've had the rubber strap because the SS bracelet did not excist at the time I bought the 5167. If I could choose today I would take the SS bracelet. I just don't like rubber straps and that's why I replaced it with a leather strap. The leather strap was ...
Would you happen to know if there's a Patek original strap that would fit the watch?
Bruno, thanks for sharing. Thanks for sharing. Your watch looks great. I think you can even wear it with a suit. Why would would want a SS bracelet for it? Yea, I'm a little hesitant about the rubber strap esp. since I have haven't seen what it looks like...
I have the rubber strap
It is the most comfortable watch i've EVER WORN The 5167 rubber strap is more rounded than the previous model. I myself have NO desire to dress it up, it is to me a casual watch afterall.
Do you have a wrist shot of the watch?
I guess I'll order the rubber strap version. It's meant as a sporty watch for me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the watch.. Regards, iAn
Rubber
I too had dismissed this watch, but a friend bought a 5165 and I got to take a closer look at it. Disaster! I quickly bought a 5167 and love it. The rubber strap is very comfortable to a point that you don;t even feel you;re wearing a watch at all. I happ...
question on 5165 and 5167
any idea if a 5165 and a 5167 share the same deploynant buckle though the lug size of rubber is diff for the 38mm vs the 40mm? any info appreciated!
Deployant
The deployants for 5165 & 7 "look" identical. It would make sense on such a low volume watch to use the same part.
5167 with rubber strap
This is one of the most comfortable watches in my collection. Look great even with shirt....
I love how the design of the rubber strap matches
with the dial design. That's a very nice wrist shop. Works for me. Thanks for sharing. Regards, iAn

Thanks Sanro
Thanks for sharing your experience. I would advise that you get your strap changed at the AD. Regards, iAn
