It is a lot of money, but the strap on its own is £449 v approx £100 for an apple leather. Also get a sports strap thrown in, those unique Hermés faces and an extra year's warranty. I did the maths last year and was 'only' paying about £100 over the odds. The leather on the straps is unbelievable and unlike the watch, if you keep them in good condition are actually worth more a few years later when they are discontinued.
You’re selling it to me! Guess I’ll have 14 days after the s8 arrives to decide!
