Just received this Gun Metal Link Bracelet for 42mm AW. Though it doesn't look like the space black link bracelet in color but it suits the SG AW very well.

Haha yea some pictures of the SS with the spacegrey, or maybe the spacegrey with your other silver link could be nice :)

I may buy the silver one for my spacegrey watch, but im not quite sure about the combination.

That's the band to get right now, i've been in close contact with the seller Freedomoclock09 and will have a review up next week.
I ordered from freedomclock09 as well...but he wasn't sure when the bands would arrive. Do you have an idea when you'll get a band? I'm on vacation the next two weeks out of town...he did say that he'd ship to my vacation address if possible.

This band looks SWEET! No way to tell the difference, IMO.

He is shipping them out next week, so you should have it by end of next week. :)

BUMMER!!!

I'll be in Oregon next week! Hmmm. Wondering if I should have him ship to Oregon or to Idaho. We'll be in both places. I'll check with him on that. Thanks for the update.

Actually you may get it later, he had his first 50 shipped to him which he will start shipping those out next week, he has another 100 on their way to him to cover the rest of the orders. Looking at his ebay page he's sold over 140. So depending on how soon you ordered you may be in the first batch or 2nd. If it's the latter you should get it the week after possibly. Double check with him to make sure though. :)

Anyone got any experience with this version of the link bracelet or the sellers?

I just had to give a review of Freedomclock09.

I've been in touch with him and he's been responding on my end. I emailed to let him know I'll be on vacation, but that I'd LOVE to get this band while I'm there...I can't wait to get it!

So he checked to make sure I was in the top 50 orders and then confirmed that he will ship to my vacation address via Priority Mail.

EXCELLENT customer service! He's shipping today so if you were in the first 50, you should be getting them next week! When I come across a good eBay seller like that, I want to promote that! I bought the adapters from him as well and they are a quality product, too!

Thanks, Freedomclock09!

If you want to purchase his .75:1 Apple Link Band (that's my description according to the picture)...you can purchase HERE.

What was your exact question? I may be able to answer it for you as i speak to Richard almost everyday. If not i can ask him to personally look into why your question went unanswered. They have been super busy since yesterday shipping out orders for the link bands.
