I bought one but have put it on hold for now because I'm quite sceptical cause I've seen no reviews of it anywhere on the internet.
BTW, I know this seller. And yes you have been scammed. Those photos are of the real link bracelet. The one that he is going to deliver to you looks like the real LB but it still needs a tool to remove the links.

That is not a replica. That is the real deal. You're being scammed.
This was my request a couple of hours ago... You're probably right (Read from bottom to top)

Has anyone gotten a 1:1 clone link band yet? The freedomclock09 one is all over...but I'd really like to see actual pics of the 1:1...

Anyone? :)

How do you resize the link clone I have a tool but it's a nightmare to adjust no holes on the size to eject link

Yes that's right

It's a little difficult at first but once you figure it out it's ok. You have to use the tool to put pressure on the spring bar and pull it down (towards middle of band) so that the pin will release. You just have to get it down a little and you can tug on the link and it'll pop out. To reconnect just stick on end of the spring bar back in and use the tool to depress the other end to pop it back in.

I hope that helps a little.

Thanks 2 removed 1 to go I must say it was a lot easier on the other clone the one without the butterfly Apple clasp

Glad you got it.

I agree. The ones with the holes on the sides are much easier.

It would be too expensive for them to clone it to Apple standards, not to mention they don't have the high-end machines to closely produce the Link. It's never going to be as good.

Could you explain a little more in detail how you got it out? Tried the above steps and for the life of me, can't seem to get it out. I put pressure on it using the tool, but can't seem to get it out.

You want to put pressure on the pin with the tool and pull down (towards the center of the band). It's just a spring bar hold the links in. If you look at the photo you want to get the forked end of the tool as close to the top as the spring bars (by the red line) and then pull down. Hope that helps a little better.
