Hell's blazes. Putting the band in bandit.

I have a nice seiko sportura chronograph. SNAE67 or something.
Got it for my 50th, was $400+ on a super special off the web. $659 best price locally retail.
Need a replacement band for it... best price I can find for genuine is over $100.
WHAT?  :ahhh :ahhh

For a few square inches of leather,  a buckle and some stitching?????
 
I don't mind paying for quality but that's just robbery.

 :rant: :rant:

While I was looking for info on nato adapters for my g-shock there was a utube video where the guy paid $180 for the nato strap for his watch. He was comparing it to a $11 dollar one he bought that looked the same.

For that money I could buy my watch, the nato adapters and all 3 nato straps I've ordered and still have enough for a few beers. That's just ludicrous for a length of webbing.
