Modern buckle now $149?

[bniu]

seems the modern buckle is now $150 instead of $250? Did Apple quietly lower this price?

I suspect these are being discontinued. There are no black Modern buckles available in small or medium and no future dates are given. I can’t get confirmation from the Apple reps. I’m sorry to see this because, although they were overpriced IMO, I did love the elegance of the buckle. I wear my watch on the inside of my wrist and so that buckle on the outside made it look purposeful. Rats!
