For those of you who ordered on Amazon how long did delivery take from China? I ordered and it's on it's way from China but the tracking info provided by Amazon wont work.

Took about 2 weeks for mine to arrive. Ordered the 5 bead. Adapters weren't the best but the band is nice

Took about 10 days for me. Ordered the three bead and it looks GREAT! Adapters were fine for me.

Thanks. Looking forward to its arrival.
Not sure who you purchased it from on Amazon, but I told the seller about my adapters and he quickly responded with tracking info for new adapters that should fit better.

Can't complain.

Went to the Apple Store yesterday to pick up a leather loop and the employee that helped me was loving the look of the hoco. You'll love the overall look for sure

Mine said it was a hoco but the clasp looks different than the others.

That looks like the Roti I ordered off of Amazon - I haven't been able to find anything on these other than what I'm seeing on Amazon (they're listed under Roti, MyRoti & Rotibox). I have one coming today - how do you like it? Would love to hear your thoughts on it as I have a Hoco coming next week and will likely be returning one of the two.

I like it. Did Crossfit and it holds well. No issues. Wish it was grey instead of black but no one probably notices but me. Looks good. Don't have a true hoco to compare it to though.

Got mine today. I admit, I had my doubts but the pictures just don't do it justice. It's so much better looking in person. IMG_6748.JPG

I'm so bummed because I finally got my 5 pointer Hoco today after waiting some 3 weeks or so and come to open the package from the same seller everyone recommended from Amazon and they sent me a 42mm instead of a 38mm.
Having said that, if someone is interested in buying it, this is it. Send me a PM. My loss your gain.

That's weird that the adapter is different than the one I have. I thought all the 5 beads had the non-leather adapter version.

Sadly this is what it came on.
Have to order from a seller that has different adapters hopeful since the iVapoUS came with these regular ones.

Earlier in here I posted that the adapters my 5 bead came with were horrible. iVapoUS was kind enough to send me new adapters that fit perfectly now.

Don't have any complaints now.

Does anyone know by chance the size of the hole that connects to the adapter. I know that amazon has 2.5mm fat boy pins that will likely remove the movement caused by the small pin they come with, but I don't know the exact size of the hole.

I love this band (have the 3-bead) BUT my adapters weren't fully screwed/flush which made the watch sit crooked, so I tried to get them tighter and stripped the screws I think. My seller is graciously sending me new adapters but I have no idea how I can remove these old ones now the screws are most likely stripped. I have tried tools that came with other adapter kits and no luck.

Any advice am I just SOL?

i had the same problem. asked the watch repairer who was changing my link to tighten them and he basically refused - he could feel if he did that the screws would give up.

on the subject of removing yours - bolt cutters?

Thanks yeah I had the same exp with a repair kiosk they told me they wouldn't attempt it so that's how I stripped them, d'oh. I don't have any bolt cutters but hopefully I can find a friend who does and hoping I can remove them for the new adapters!

Anybody interested in these 3 bracelets? One is a 5 pointer Hoco 42mm, the other 2 have no adapters or pins for them. Yours for $45 if you want them. I paid $45 just for the Hoco band and another $40 for the other two together but I've got no use for them. One is a generic Hoco without branding, and the other one is a Milanese / mesh style with folding clasp. None of the 2 black bracelets have adapters and the Hoco band arrived without a tool. PM me if interested.

What seller should I order from to get a proper one of these 3 link bands - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YMHEE4A?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
Oittm on Amazon is a heck of a seller and I believe I've seen this band on his store. Check him out maybe he still has some. He had at some point the space gray 5 pointer band as well.
Anyhow here's the direct link for this band and he ships in less than a week.
