Replacement Strap for Aquanaut

[JBrandon86]

Hi,

Just bought a rep PP Aquanaut Jumbo w/ decorated Miyota movement. Like the strap but would love to entertain alternatives. Thinking NATO but not set on anything. Looking for any advice on alternate straps / combos that look good. Pics would be appreciated.

Thanks!

how about this for an idea?

That looks very nice! What is that kind of strap called / which company makes it? Reckon I could try finding one in a blueish grey to match my stainless steel model.

I'm more sold on something like that VS a metal bracelet... some leather straps I've seen also look good

Anyone got a good source for a SS bracelet for an Aquanaut?

Hey buddy, I know it's a very old post but I'm trying to change the strap on my Aquanaut and I can't really find a way to do so because of the way the pins are kinda stuck within the rubber band. Do you have any tips ?

Hey mate. It is a bit of a bugger. I use a regular spring bar tool to free one side while pulling gently on the strap away from the case. I then move the tool over to the corresponding lug to work in that side of the spring bar, all the while pulling gently so the freed side doesn’t snap back in. Once both sides of the spring bar are freed, I jiggle the strap side to side and the case prongs should pop out
