UK Stockist for 5X with metal strap

As the title says really, does anywhere in the UK stock the 5X with the metal strap? According to Google, I can only find this version on the Garmin store. Everywhere else that I've found is the rubber/plastic strap version.

For clarity, I'm after this one: https://buy.garmin.com/en-GB/GB/p/560327/pn/010-01733-03#

Thanks.

I can only speak for Austria though but my dealer (a bike shop) told me, that the metla strap version is only available at a jeweller!!! And he was quite serious.
But as I said....maybe that's valid for Austria only.

Garmin Sweden does the same. Ridiculous.

No need sitting around waiting for the one with a metal band since it offers no price incentive which is strange because with the fenix 3 Sapphire with metal band you saved around $50 compared to buying the regular Sapphire version and buying an extra metal strap. The regular slate grey sapphire fenix 5X is $699 while the metal strap version is $849 but the metal strap alone as a spare part is found on eBay for $150 so by buying the regular version and adding a metal strap as an extra you end up paying the same price which I find strange!:eek:

Similarly, there doesn't seem to be anywhere in the UK or online that sells the Brown leather Quickfit 26 strap!
