I wouldn’t worry about the fauve barenia stock long term, it seems like that one and feu epsom kind of dip in and out of stock. As for the comparison to Apple leather it’s no contest...the drape and the fingertip feel on Hermes leather is on another planet. The Apple bands of all generations kinda have this mush meat quality to their insides too, even the thin modern buckle bands kinda feel unnatural even though the space age design doesn’t leave a lot of plush to begin with.
That’s the most basic bish, widespread Hermes so if you can be patient on the resale sites you can prob find it for 200. Sadly fauve barenia also shows its age more than the other ones, whether it’s attractive patina or beat to ***** dark grease, trawling the seller listings can be a little depressing.
pro tip: you gotta search hermes and hermès on eBay. Not everyone spams both keywords. Here’s a modest discount NIB $310. It is 42mm so the curve on the lugs will jut out slightly if you have S4/5
