LOL. I'm sure Apple would be happy to sell you the Space Black Stainless Watch as your "backup" option to the Space Gray Aluminum Black Band Watch. You could get the $49 black fluoroelastomer band to wear with it around daily, saving the stock $449 Space Black Stainless bracelet for dress up.
Let's see, $1099 for stainless watch + $49 for black rubber band vs. $399 for your first choice.
I was actually considering the black stainless watch, but worried it would limit my alternate band options down the road. The regular stainless watch looks good with everything.
