Hey Jeremy, If you have so much money how about you buy me a little old Apple Watch 4 Aluminium 40mm for $399 *smile* I just had another look and you have to scroll waydown in the list to get to these, it is beyond me, however, why one would want to spend this kind of money on a watch just because it has the Hermes watch face and a watch band which costs $500. Also, interesting enough Voiceover announces the heading as "Apple Watch Hermes Series 3", then it goes on to explain that these watches have "handcrafted leather straps and iconic watch faces". But the listing all says "series 4" and mentions that they come in 44mm only. If you get the "double tour" watch band instead of the single tour you can add another $100 or so... crazy. I can buy the most basic series 4 stainless steel watch with GPS and cellular for $500 less and the only difference is the watch strap and watch face. But everybody has their preferences, I have many many thousands of Dollars invested in woodworking equipment and machines and we'll all make choices as to what we buy with the money we have available. Apple has managed it again to invent a category of devices which people back in the day bought once or twice in their lifetime, a good watch, and they made it into an item we all want to upgrade after a few years. My first Apple Watch, a series 2, I also bought I stainless steel because that model has sapphire crystal and I thought since I can be hard on my stuff at times it might be mmmmmore durable, but while I most likely will buy an Apple Watch 4 I will not spend the extra couple of hundred Dollars for a stainless stell version any more.This is why
