This is my latest purchase from Hermes, A Cape Cod GM Automatic with matte black alligator strap. I also got an interchangeable natural Barenia strap for it, if a more casual look is called for.

Love this watch for casual weekends! I’ve special ordered the double tour straps (because these aren’t available off the shelf in my wrist size) in matte black gator and fauve Barenia :)

With a single tour black gator strap, I think that this watch can actually look quite dressy. I had to special order my gator strap as well. I love the look of the double tour straps and definitely want to get one, but I'm not yet sure in which leather/color combination.
 
I wanted a belt kit with a Constance buckle for a while (it used to be 42 mm and now it is 38 mm). I like it more than the 32 mm H one that I have in the guilloche finish. Almost got one in Rome in 2019. The store only had the polished Constance H, although I wanted the brushed one more. Now that I got a HAC in blue, I figured it was a good time to get the belt to match it. Togo in Bleu de Prusse and 135 calfskin in black. The same colour combination in the 32 mm size used to be with Box calfskin. Is 135 a newer version of Box?

there he goes... down the slippery slope of H... :D
 
How is the Depeche in practical situations? Do you baby it?
I'm a bit afraid to load it up too much, as I normally tend to carry laptop, iPad, and a bunch of other things.

I don’t abuse my bags but I’m not precious with them either. I carry the above as seen in my pic + airpods, keys, a petit H A4 file, an H pencil case and sometimes a folded, spare shirt. I carry my laptop separately as the weight (16” macbook) puts too much strain on the leather

lol yeah I thought so on the 16" MacBook pro.
I guess I won't be able to use it for laptops then, which means it probably won't get much use.
It'd better at least accommodate an iPad pro, because otherwise I will have zero use for it.

You learn quickly to be careful with your fingernails.
I realise that is more a comment about the box calf.
I have the previous Kelly SaD style and opening is not as quick and easy as this.

As long as your 'things' are flat and not too fat, you should be fine.
It is a briefcase not a tote, like a Birkin.
