Ok so I just bought a 42mm Milanese Loop off the Apple Store yesterday for $229 AUD & I found this the next day... wow these options look amazing!

I'm defiantly going to be picking up one of these also in rose gold.

Thanks man for sharing!

Still waiting. Not expecting it anytime in the near future. If I have been sent shipping information I'm almost positive it was blocked by my spam filter. I'll be sure the come post pics the second it arrives.

The seller just updated the listing

It now says...

It's presell, we will ship the item in 15th, June.

So with that and shipping times, we should receive these bands in Late June - Mid July.

The wait begins...

Now the Milanese loop bands are no longer available. Interesting another supposed seller has three separate listings now priced at $73.14. CrAzy!

I just had a chat with the seller... I'm a tad worried...

Can you link me to the three other listings?

not worth the wait & questionable quality, i'll just buy real one from apple :p

I only paid $28.99 so it won't be a terrible loss if the quality isn't that great; however, if it is I'll be glad I didn't shell out $150 plus tax for the Milanese band. I can wait for the band.

Just received my HOCO stainless steel band, picked up for just over £20 of eBay.

Very, very nice, nice weight, they are very well made and designed.

I'm very happy i bought this instead of Apples over priced bands.

Heres a picture:

I received an email this morning notifying me that my Milanese band is on the way. It'll be interesting to see whether or not my $28.99 was well spent.

Thank you for posting this so I could cancel my order. I thought this was shady from the beginning and now I definitely don't like it. I've canceled and my refund is processing.

Trying this instead. http://www.amazon.com/Emisoon-Quant...2754148&sr=8-13&keywords=milanese+apple+watch

So the one I ordered from AliExpress isn't shipping. They were so late to reply to my query that it was marked shipped (apparently it does that automatically!). So now I have to wait another 3 days to dispute it.

But that one you posted from Amazon is gorgeous! Just ordered it.

That clasp is just so bulky though...
