Found this on eBay. Looks good. Anyone seen or tried this one?

The proper term is deployant... It looks nice, any idea if the buckle end is fixed to the hole or if it can come out? Fixed would be much more secure. The nice thing about deployant clasps is if it opens accidentally, the watch won’t just fall to the ground like a regular buckle...

I prefer the butterfly style because when closed the clasp is more centered on the wrist.

I have one on order from a different ebay retailer - I'll report how good/not good it is. For about $20 I'll take a chance.

I'm not sure if the comments on Ebay can be fake but according to all the feedback for that seller everybody really liked that band and not 1 person commented negatively on the quality of the leather. Typically you find people commenting on the poor quality of the leather on these Ebay/Amazon leather band deals.

Haven't had time to take pictures but after a few days with this this strap I'd say it was an okay purchase. I like the look and overall functionality of the deployment buckle. The leather is a bit stiff but after wearing it for a couple days it's starting to break in nicely. The stitching is a bit uneven along one side but at this price point I wasn't expecting an exact replica of the Hermes nor the same quality.
