because it is Hermes.

Then again, I am just being frivolous and I hope you take it in the same manner smile That question is like should I carry a Valextra carry-on or should I just settle for a Porter (of Japan, mind you, and perhaps stretching it to Monocle's edition of the Porter "of Japan" bags ;-) canvas week-ender?

But seriously, at the end of the day, does it really matter? Who will know whether your watch strap is by Hermes or otherwise? Just you yourself and to me, that's really what matters. Wear something because it speaks about you and not for what the brand represents. They are not paying us to be their brand ambassador; unless they are already doing so for you ;-)

Wear your orange strap in happiness.

Pardon my off-the-cuff cheekiness ;-)

where can you get an Hermes strap unless it is Parmigiani or Hermes watch? Hermes makes a really good quality leather. Well all their bags price really high, they should make the best leather.

Is alligator on both under and upper right? From what I understand, only a very few number of brands do this, and the two that I know off are both independent - Dufour and Gauthier. Apparently CF prices these style of straps close to double what they woul...
