I saw that same band and wanted to do the same thing but was worried it wouldn't look good on the leather band adapter rods. I really don't think in my opinion that it looks good. Not to mention a 42 mm SS with Classic is $700 plus $80 for the setup you have is $780 vs $1,000 for the Apple Link. Not enough savings to warrant it when it doesn't look that good to me. But I'm glad someone else did it as I would have wanted to and I don't think it does.
Right. The true comparison is $449 vs $229 [$149 + $80]. It's all subjective but I don't think the $220 is a worthwhile tradeoff for something you'll wear every day for at least 1-2 years.
