Linde Werdelin straps?!

While I was looking at another strap for my Linde Werdelin I stumbled upon prices of €600 incl. VAT for an alligator strap?! What makes these straps so expensive? The straps for my Audemars Piguet ROO's are quite a lot cheaper. Compared to other brands like JLC, VC and IWC their prices are somewhat "overpriced". Or am I the only one with that thought?

They are almost in the league of Patek Philippe when it comes to strap prices.

Howcome, because of the small production?!

Strap is actually the reason why I stayed away from LW.

If nobody is making strap to fit the watch, you can basically name your own price. I am not saying the straps are not nice, but they are indeed pricey.
