This looks better than the photo you are talking about. As you can see the person wearing it hasn't had it fitted, so you can't really judge it based off the pics and model's wrist. If it looks like this in person, I think it looks sleeker than the 3 bead one and it's loop attachment.
Got a tip for us?

You bought on eBay?
I bought the 3 bead hoco band from Amazon will take approx 2 weeks to arrive.

I prefer the three bead version much better I don't like that 5 bead band looks very cheesy with the way it connects to the watch.

I've only seen the stock photos on line. I really want a SS band but don't like the Apple one. Went ahead and ordered a 3 bead version. Picked the US seller and just got a message it already shipped. Hope it's legit.

Looks great!

Well you are buying a stainless steel band to go with a space grey sport...I think we have different definitions of cheese. lol. If you compare the 2 bands, the 5 bead is more similar to any other link band on the market. I have 4 watches that don't attach with any loops. I think it's just a workaround for now since that type of adapter is all that's available for bands right now.
That was the point, I need black/space gray ones for my space gray watch. I posted asking about those and the band you linked to is silver...
Yes I bought it on eBay from here

Got a tracking number from usps, should be here end of next week. There were some cheaper options for the band from Chinese sellers but figured I'd order US.
Agreed, I would LOVE to see a Black version for my 42mm SG Sport. It would be an instabuy for me, beautiful bracelet.
Looks good!
What size wrist do you have? (Curious for how many links I might need removed)
Is their leather genuine as they claim? I'm wondering because I want to get a couple in different colors but I'm worried it's just polyurethane fake leather.
I sold my SS with link for a huge profit and ordered another SS with leather buckle. Whilst I was waiting I ordered the hoco metal band and fitted it on my daughters 42mm sport and I have to say that it looked pretty good. The band is well made, it's feels heavy and removing links is easy as they provided a tool for doing so.
All in all, very impressive
Received my Hoco band last night. I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised. The lugs fit perfectly and match the watch body. Best part is I haven't felt a single tug of an arm hair yet.
It was supposed to come with a sizing tool but the seller forgot to include it. Luckily the JCPenney up the street sizedit for me for free. I have 170-175mm wrists and three links were taken out.
I think it looks great and I've already received several compliments on it.

How many links on each side can be removed? I ask as a tiny-wristed person. I bought another metal link band from Amazon and 3 links on each side could be removed but it was still too loose.
I have Fossil metal link bands with 6 removable links on each side (they don't work with my adapter though).
Thanks in advance!

I only had to remove one from each side but my wrists are 185mm

It is a great band and because it has a slightly brushed effect after two days, no marks or scratches
Can u post photos of your watch with the hoco band please? Post a few shots! Thanks!
I did, they're up in my post
Any way you can make a quick video for us to see how it is live?
The nice things about the 4 bead version is that the catch is on the inside meaning that the band looks seamless around the wrist
