Colt GMT Strap Help
I have a Colt GMT in steel. i went to the AD here in Dubai to get a leather strap and was told that the strap will cost me around $ 135 however if i want to add the deployment buckle the cost will be around $ 300. does this make sense? i.e. is the buckle more expensive than the strap?? any idea how much will it cost if I get it online?Thanks for your help
