Go onto the Patek forum and see how much a buckle costs.

And you can rationalize it by amortizing it over the life of the watch. However, as I mentioned before it is actually slightly less than what I was quoted for a new JLC croc strap by the dealer, but for that one you are probably paying for the "JL" on the buckle, too.

Does it come with a buckle too? I'm tempted to get one, but haven't pulled the trigger. I would love to get one in black and use it over the OEM one.

I don't know. I'm afraid that it doesn't and I will have to be swapping buckles and straps when going back to the original strap for dressy occasions. But I sure hope it does for the price.

Are there still mega discounts available on JLC?
