Hi, Robert, originally I thought the rubber B strap will fit, but later realise it's only for the 5712G or R originally fit with leather strap.

Seems that there is no 3rd party replacement straps for all nautiluses with metallic bracelets, as the removal links are all located near the clasp instead off the case. You may remove the bracelet all together at the lugs (with open holes), but the "tongue" of replacement straps may not be strong/ secure enough to hold the case. That's just my postulation.
Best, Henry

Mechanical reason 3rd party strap can't be installed on 5712/1A?

Various strap vendors offer calf, croc, rubber, etc replacement straps for stainless steel bracelets (eg Rolex Daytona stainless steel), however I can't find a vendor that makes a strap for the Patek 5712/1A. I know the 5712/1A bracelet is beautiful howev...
Appreciate your response

however was seeking a mechanical reason it can't be done. Tried to explain that "I know the 5712/1A bracelet is beautiful however..." Best, Robert
Many thanks for you postulation!

That mechanical explanation is quite plausible, appreciate that you took the time to respond. Best, Robert
I agree - after much research

The stainless steel case doesn't feature the more robust attachment apparatus of the gold cases. Best, Robert
