I got my 5 bead way earlier than I expected! About a week after I ordered on eBay from China. The silver really brings out the clarity and sharpness of the screen. I love this band!! My purchase came with the regulator to remove the bands also.

Thanks for the pictures. I was hesitant on ordering before because the picture they (the sellers) always show makes the band look weird but I now believe that the person/model they used has a real small wrist.

I have the 3 bead on order also but I like how the 5 bead looks so I ordered one from link you provided (in other post). I sorta like how the strap on the 3 bead band itself looks over the 5 bead but the connection to adapter is superior on the 5 bead because one doesn't see the wire on the adapter. Not expensive to try and the way I look at it is can't have too many bands and I still saved hundreds of dollars over the ugly apple link band.

OK is THIS nuts! :eek:

I am thinking that I want a HOCO band for my AW arriving tomorrow BUT I have 235mm wrists.

If I purchased 2 bands and used the links from the second one would that work?

:eek:

I think it would.

Hoco 3 bead band fits:
140-205mm (42mm)
135-195mm (38mm)

Does anyone have any guides as to how to remove the links?

I know there is a 4 stage picture on the ebay page, but I'd prefer an actual guide if possible.

Has anyone tried the Hoco band with the Sport Aluminum (Silver)? You guys think it would match ok?

Note that the HOCO band is also available under different other brands like T-Trees, Jelly Comb. I don't know if they have the branding on the clasp, might need to investigate that..

Could you post more pics of the band (on wrist - profile)?

I don't know which model to pick. I like the adapter on the 5 beads but I like the 3 beads bracelet better :rolleyes:

Thank you

Isn't it possible to get a hold of just the adapter for the 5 beads and fit it with the 3 beads bracelet? Or maybe it doesn't even fit?

That's what I was thinking. Some people here have both models, can anyone confirm this works?

Just received mine today. Received it within a week. Came with a tool to remove the link. Overall I am happy with the price and quality. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1432856133.441959.jpg

Purchased the 5-bead link off Amazon just yesterday (with an estimated delivery of next Tuesday - because it was out of stock, to be restock on the 30th) and lo and behold, it was shipped today with other items I've ordered and should be here tomorrow. Can't wait!

Does anyone know the difference between the Classic and Luxury HOCO leather bands?

Photos look to be the same - just seeing anyone's thoughts.

not sure where you've seen them, but...

on taobao in China there are two definite versions of their leather band. one has flatter looking leather with a gold (why?) clasp, the other more textured leather and a nicer looking fastener. and i it had HOCO PREMIUM stamped inside, didn't see that on any of the pics for the other one. so there *should* be a difference.
