5167 on bracelet or not?

Hey guys,
Already posted this elsewhere but making sure my bases are covered.
I finally got permanent residence in Sweden having moved here from Australia and am looking to celebrate with a Patek.
Now I walked into my AD here and found out that they could do a 1 year wait on the 5167/1A vs a 2 or 3 year wait on a 5167A.
They also said they can add the rubber strap with the 1A but if you get the A you can't get a bracelet for that. Weird but okay.
They require a 20% deposit which is fine but what do you guys think?
Also I assume no discount is on the cards at all haha
I'm thinking a 1 year wait for the 1A is the way to go, as I get the watch sooner, but then I do pay extra for a bracelet that I have never worn or tried on and I can't say that I love the bracelet but it is slowly growing on me.
I have tried on a 5167A and loved that which is surprising as I normally really dislike rubber strapped watches.
