OP offered me the strap for $499 via PM. Now he’s making a public offer for $380. Beware.

I don't begrudge anyone trying to make a profit, but OP also stated the cost was $339 and quotes c+s of $380 - it doesn't cost $40 to ship a watch strap.

Wrong. OP sent me a PM saying he sold the straps for $499. AFTER someone else posted the link to Hermes with the price, $339, the OP wrote offering the strap for less. Do as you please, but I’ll keep this experience in mind.

There's nothing wrong there - I'm not disagreeing with what you posted, but rather pointing out how the OP seems to be a bit disingenuous in pricing.

My thoughts too.

But OP, it's your watch, your wrist and your liking. Enjoy and wear it in good health!

Doesn't work, a diver tool watch with a refined leather strap doesn't mix well in my eyes, also the buckle doesn't match at all.

The watch straps were sold out at apple.com so I ordered from Hermès. I have an extra strap (same as pictured) that I'll sell for cost plus shipping ($380), if anyone is interested DM me and it will save you the trouble of buying the tool. Cheers!

Can you explain how you took the apple end link apart?

I’m not a fan of leather on a diver watch. However, the strap is nice.

Agreed. Too each his own but definitely doesn't work with this watch.

You can't beat Hermes quality, but don't care for the overall brown and Sub black color combo.

Looks sharp but… just looks like any other leather strap that you can buy for $50-$80

Hermes makes very nice quality (overpriced) goods but in this case it's waste of money because every Rolex watch looks the best on the original bracelet.

The strap looks to be very short for your wrist also.
