Clone of Hermes 'cuff' band?

[cfactor20]

Thanks sorry to be such a pain, how exactly did you manage to cut a hole in it so nicely? Do you have a special tool or just really good at cutting with scissors/ something like a stanley knife?

I was thinking the same thing... I would have destroyed it.

I was thinking a hammer and a cookie cutter.

A cookie cutter did come to mind before I asked

My uncle owns a company that makes leather gloves. They have huge cutters that look like cookie cutters to cut out the patterns that get sewn together. Though I would like to know what that person used in this thread.

My husband first drew the hole using an ⌚️ cover/protector for the exact size. He then used a tool called a "punch" (it may have a more technical name) and punched holes around perimeter of drawn hole. (See pix below for punch & ⌚️ cover.) After the entire hole was punched out, he used a Dremel tool to "sand" the hole area smooth. It didn't take but about 15 minutes from start to finish. I hope this makes sense!

Thank you! I just received the same brown strap that you ordered and it looks great. I love the look of it even though it is slightly chunky looking on my wrist. I really wanted something similar to the Hermes Cuff. I didn't go for the other one you linked as I liked the curvy look and I'm glad I went for that one luckily the punch tool you showed I found one in the loft so will be cutting the hole out later. Wish me luck haha

Not sure if anyone is still interested but there are clones up on ebay now.

The eBay ones don't seem to let you choose the color of the adapter?

This seller does. You need to include a separate note to him requesting the color you prefer. He also sells on AliExpress - that's how I discovered this. I wrote him & he responded that I could get the adapter in the color I preferred.

Even if they don't, just order the correct colour adapters and change them yourself.

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

Does anyone know what wrist circumference range the Hoco Hermes set is for the 38mm?

I ordered this for 21 bucks US - from an ebay reseller in the US - took one week to receive and it looks better than I thought it would - little more difficult to put on than my link bracelet or sports band but I'm sure I will get the hang of it soon. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cuff-Leathe...h-Bands-For-Apple-Watch-iWatch-/321915917991? looks like he has reduced the price a little - I got black but he has red, orange, and blue. I think i will be ordering a red one soon.

Cheers,
Bobbie

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:

"Genuine" and "eBay" should never be in the same sentence.

Probably not....but sometimes that is where the savings are found!

I ordered a deployment clasp to add it to - hoping that will make it easier to get on/off and allow me to keep it tight. I wore it pretty much all day on Sunday but had an issue with it locking a couple of times. I'm hoping by adding the deployment clasp (should arrive from Amazon tomorrow) it will stay tight. I will keep you all updated - plus that makes it look closer to the actual Hermes version.

Yup looks really nice, I just ordered the Chestnut color, looking forward to getting mine ! Pad and Quill Quality leather reputation, the soft leather back and the nicely done stitching made me pull the trigger on this one !

I've ordered this and should have it tomorrow. I don't expect it to be anywhere near the quality of the bands on the Hermes Apple watches but hope it's of decent quality none the less. Most of the pictures used on the Amazon page are for the real Hermes watch by the looks of it although the picture of the bands the packaging make them look pretty good.

Greetings,
Pad and Quill will be making their Lowry Cuff for the 38 MM AW available in a few months - http://www.padandquill.com/lowry-leather-cuff-for-apple-watch.html. I emailed customer service and told them I really hope they release a 38 MM version and they confirmed it's in the works. The leather cuff I got from eBay is just too big and the watch locks. I've given up on wearing it. The Lowry Cuff for the 42 MM version is for small wrists - starts out at 125MM - 150 MM. I'm hoping the 38 MM will be the same length or smaller.

Cheers,
Bobbie

O great teh band looks alike to the non replica one
[doublepost=1458420874][/doublepost]

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
