I heard a story from a retired jeweller and watchmaker, he said customers oftentimes would ask to have the expansion bands removed on new watches at point of sale, and a leather one substituted. Apparently, at some point the expansion bands started to lose favour, or maybe it was before they became popular? I do get asked to change a new band myself, but not very often. Expansion bands have become more popular in the past few years and some watch companies  have restored them as options on their models.
