I'm sorry if this is bad to do, as I have posted it in a couple other corresponding threads but it kinda applies here as it arrives as a hoco band for like 35$ on prime. so here (side note joke, I guess you can ignore the "i don't post often" as this is now my third post in like a month or something and they all say the same thing haha):
ok so I don't post often, and I am super anal about things matching and furthermore I am one that will gladly spend more money if it means I never have to worry about quality. with that said I was waiting for a metal link that wouldn't piss me off because I just had to return it. I took a chance on this
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZOR2GTC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00
let me say that I feel my watch is of a whole new caliber now. So detail, it comes saying hoco on the band and in the hoco box. says "series 3 limited" or something to that affect. Sorry I'm not posting pictures I'm lazy, I'll give some details though.
the color matches perfectly ALTHOUGH there is a shiny finish instead of a matte finish but the color is 98% perfect (if it was matte finish you wouldn't be able to tell, yet it isn't fully "stainless steel shiny"), hope that makes sense.
the adaptors, well they are about perfect too. The gap between band and watch is minimal and the gaps between the adaptors and watch is near apple fit if not slightly tighter.
the clasp thing, thing that is what it is called, is very nice and sturdy, folds up really shallow to the wrist, near same depth of the links.
my wife, who thinks all this apple watch stuff is "silly", said that it looks like a "really nice dress watch" as in suit type watch. don't know a lot about watches as the Marines didn't really want us wearing "time pieces" in uniform so I never had one but I know about suits and dressing nice and this would make the watch fit in perfectly. I have a clockwork synergy leather strap witch is also very nice, but it doesn't feel classy/dressy/business like this does. I am still waiting on my click adaptors and straps (like 5 total i think lol) so I didn't want to buy anything expensive. This is perfect and is even on prime!
EDIT: BTW with all the good i forgot the one bad. the tool they sent was missing the punch part that actually pushes out the pins. i rigged up the tool they sent to work though and was done in 15 min
it looks and feels amazing. In officially in love. I didn't expect for it to arrive until the end of next week but it was pretty awesome to come home to it.
