It would be cool if there was a clone of the 'cuff' band that was revealed yesterday.

Anyone know of something similar?
I'm looking for one....I love that band but even if I could justify that price the cuff style is only for the 42 MM and I have the 38MM. I will post if I find one - I'm really hoping someone creates a knockoff cuff band - it's beautiful!!

So I just found a replica cuff band for a Fossil watch on Etsy - the seller said he will give quotes for custom bands so I requested a quote and gave him the pic of the Hermes band. I will let you know what I hear back from him. His price for the fossil version was 41 bucks and it looked high quality -https://www.etsy.com/listing/245937263/leather-handmade-watch-cuff-strap-with?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=apple%20watch%20leather%20wrist%20cuff&ref=sr_gallery_2

Cheers,

Cool. Thanks! I guess the key is not blocking the heart rate sensor.

If you find the double loop band, could you post it here also? Thank you!

I will be glad to do so....waiting to hear back from the Etsy dude - he's in Rome, Italy. I hope to hear back from him soon. I will keep everyone posted.

Cheers!

I messaged him to about another one of his bands asking him if he can make it in 24mm rather than 22mm. Haven't heard from him.

I found these on eBay today. Genuine Hermes though - a bit pricey, but if you look often enough, you might find a better price. Hermes Cape Cod Double Tour band:

Thanks - i did email him - I will let you know if I hear back. I've heard nothing from the Etsy person.

Thanks again for the suggestion.

Cheers,
Bobbie

Great. His stuff is not inexpensive, but is really unique and high quality.

Aaron got back to me tonight from combat-straps.com - he's going to have something to show me tomorrow. I will be in an area with crappy signal so I may not be able to post anything until Sunday but I will keep you all updated. Thanks for the suggestion Snoopy16

I like that - i know it will huge on my wrist - my 38MM does - where did you get the cuff?

Cheers,
B
Cuff information is shown in my earlier post in this thread (#12). The second one pictured is the one on my wrist in post #18. I prefer the first one pictured in post #12 (I got it in black - see below). It fits better & if you got it in brown, imo, it would look more like the real Hermes ⌚️. My husband cut a hole in the center of each cuff so the ⌚️ sensors would react properly (see below).
