Better in every way. Authentic is the only one with a secure enough locking mechanism to where I trust it with my watch for daily use. The third party ones I tried randomly would come open.

Did this seller every provide you guys with a tracking number? My purchase from 2/8 just got marked shipped but no tracking number was provided. Oddly the guy is still giving the same excuse for delay in shipping.

Yes, I got a tracking number through ebay. As others have said mine was shipped FedEx Express Saver. It is odd, the seller seems to take a little over a week to ship every time with the same excuse...but for me it was worth the delay.

Ordered a space black and knew what to expect based on the last time.

Received an email from them this morning despite never reaching out. This poor person will have no family left soon enough.

Hello buyer,

If you are reading this message, it means you have purchased an item from me in the past couple of weeks and may be seeing a delayed shipment of the item. I truly apologize for this. I was met with some unfortunate news that a family member of mine had passed away on March 11, and since then I have been out of the country without internet access. I returned just tonight and saw a few questions in my inbox.

Rest assured, items that have been paid for will be sent out on the next business day. I will pay for a quicker shipping method to make up for this. Again, I apologize for the delay and appreciate your continued patience.

Hi sidezero
Have you received the band or tracking info?
If you did receive the black band is it genuine?
He doesn't seem to have anything in stock now. Will keep looking

I just received shipping notification last night but he didn't provide a tracking number yet. I ordered a silver link bracelet from him before and it was genuine so I have no reason to believe the space black won't also be genuine.

The seller got a negative feedback for not sending the band! not sure how long the buyer had to wait though.

My experience with the space black is worse than the silver. I never reached out to him but over a week ago he sent me what I posted above. It was marked shipped last week but he never provided a tracking number and it still hasn't shown up. I've asked for a tracking number three times without a response at this point. Hoping it shows up sometime in the next few days.

My gut feeling this is the same seller

You may be right. He already shipped mine last Thursday, according to eBay, but I got the following email from him today:

If you are reading this message, it is because you are a purchaser of one of my items recently. I am sorry that my communication has been sparse, but I have been out of country due to the death of a family member, and I have not had access to eBay. I gave instructions to a family member back here in the States on how to send items out via FedEx, and most of the items have been shipped. A few still have not. Rest assured, your item is headed your way tomorrow at the latest (depending on how early in the auction you bought one of my items) as I will be back in the States tomorrow. Shipping info will follow shortly after that, once I have access to my FedEx account.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.
- Bill

The estimated delivery date was last Friday 4/15 to tomorrow, Friday 4/22. I'm hoping it comes tomorrow but I'm willing to give one extra week before I start to worry and open a case with eBay.

Wish you the best
I purchased a used one. Almost like new according to description, however had minor signs of use (not visible unless you look with a microscope lol) So happy with it and im glad that I didn't buy a fake.

Check your eBay account. My order was updated with a tracking number. Despite it being marked shipped last Thursday, tracking says it was just shipped today. Weirdly, it says it's being shipped from Ohio

That's where mine shipped from-- you should be fine. I did get a genuine Apple strap (as I understand it's the kind that people get as replacement straps from Apple).

That *is* strange. Unfortunately, my order has seen no updates yet but I'm optimistic based on all the posts in this thread.

Mine finally shipped friday. It is from a different seller but with an identical death in family claim on the delay. Should arrive weds according to fedex tracking.
[doublepost=1461423021][/doublepost]Just curious... those who paid by paypal what was the senders email? Mine went to something called blake's trading with an email that looks like b******@icloud.com?

The email is also tied to a twitter account

Have not got mine and will reserve my opinion till it comes. Overall a good price and if he had let me know early on there was a delay I would have been ok with it. Seems scammy to me to keep re-using the death in family excuse over multiple accounts. I am debating whether I should contact eBay? Price is great so I don't want to ruin it for others, but his selling practices stink!

My PayPal shows the same email and Blake's trading. I just wish I would have gotten a tracking number by now. Are there any reference numbers tied to your shipment? I tried to use the eBay transaction and item numbers but neither yielded any results.
