Second time lucky, managed to bag myself an grade A brown leather loop this morning. Hopefully they send this one.
Got a tip for us?

Good luck!! Still no blue sport band here, no idea what is going to happen lol. Kinda want the Milanese Loop now..
Doesn't sound like it will ever arrive by the sounds of it.
I considered one after seeing one on a threat on here in space grey and it suprisingly went but thought the chrome look of the adopters clashed a bit.
Unless you have the SS AW then I don't recommend any of the bands with SS adapters.
Just got the stone leather loop grade C(was a risk)
Will be taking it back tomorrow as its in much worse condition I was expecting. Very badly worn and the side of it is flaking off as well. Not quite sure it even passed but yeah I think that will be the last time I buy a grade C strap.

I've always stayed away from grade C for that reason. Had a couple of grade B sport bands, which were ok.
If I'm honest I really didn't think it was going to be as bad as it was. Couldn't find anyone on here with much experience with grade C. Lesson learned I suppose.
I think grade C is classed as everything else. Could be lucky and get a good one. Risk is high though.
Yeah you sure can, I've got some amazing prices on a lot of my grade A bands and straps. Remember these bands and straps are trade ins from their shops, items go in and out of stock in minutes. Missed out on a grade A blue leather loop in medium yesterday. I was gutted I've been waiting for one for weeks.
You've literally got to go on it a few times a day I've found. I've gone on within 30 minute gaps and bands have popped up then 5 minutes later have gone.
Lol what? No.. Because the SS connectors will clash badly.
EDIT: Looks like CEX put their prices up on all bands today. Milanese Loop used to be £48 now £55.

Not surprised to be honest, with the amount of people on here who have bought them. Before Christmas CEX had a massive amount of stock, now there's very little left.
Of the 4 bands I would like to get none of them are in stock, plus a LOT of people here alone have been buying so they have obviously realised the demand is high.
Aaand that's me no longer bothering to look. Takes it too close to just buying brand new from Apple for the bands I'd want.
Me too, bad customer service is putting me off the most, they still owe me a refund for a band that never turned up.
i haven't had any kind of reply over a week after emailing about the dodgy white strap combo. at least it's partly useful to me, i'll just give up and move on.
I got a reply saying they are looking into what happened and are waiting for the store that shipped it to reply.. God knows what for, it's clearly lost in the post..
Just managed to order a grade A link bracelet for £130. Been checking their website for ages not and always been out of stock. It must of been just one in stock as it now says out of stock again. Hope it's as good as the Milanese Loop I bought from them as that came fully packaged and unopened it the Apple packaging. Fingers crossed!
Saw they had a couple back in stock this morning, saw they had put them up £15. Still a bargain.
Good catch! I had the same with my Grade A Milanese loop
And, was it for the 42mm by any chance? CEX seem to have much more bands in stock for the 42mm than they do for the 38mm....That's why i didn't really hang around with the Grade C Link Bracelet lol.

Yeah, the 42.
Bought from customers who walk into their shops, however where they get them I have no idea. Unwanted presents? Prizes and gifts I would imagine.
