Really want one but 150$ is a lot for something that isn't caught up with what it is trying to replicate. If there is enough positive reviews I will consider it for sure though.As requested, here is a photo of my SS with the space grey link bracelet :

No unfortunately the tool wasn't included. I used a pin which was a bit awkward, but worked ok. A small flathead watch screwdriver would also work.
You're famous. MR tweeted your review.So my Link Bracelet replica turned up today ( from http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271947141070?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT ), and it really is an extremely good copy of the original. I had the original Link before so I can make a pretty good comparison.
Pics below, and the final pic of the original link bracelet (blue shirt/suit jacket on):
Pros:
Cons
- Looks very close to the original
- Very good quality materials, really doesn't feel/look much different than the original
- The clasp is a bit tougher to click shut, not so well engineered as the original
- I have 170mm wrists, and I had to remove every possible link to get it to fit. It will clearly fit larger wrists much better (you can see the gap on the top link where it has to curve), so the original is much better than the close for smaller wrists. In fact, I'd say the 42mm (which I have) will not fit smaller wrists than 170mm.

CHEERS!!!
Little did I know when I chose what shirt to wear to work today that it would be on Twitter a few hours later!
Too bad he doesn't ship outside of America...Sorry for pasting here too but in light of who it is, being the most reliable seller ever I had to share this everywhere!
The moment we've all been waiting for has arrived!
Available for pre-order here with the amazing Richard Utica Guy/ Freedomoclock who is trying to find out if a discount can be made for us Forum Members!
Shipping time will be anywhere between August 25-30th.
He said that he's been pushing for a better price from the factory but he won't be able to make any changes this month. Perhaps next.
If anything changes I'll keep you all informed.
I'm preordering all of them SPECIALLY THE BLUE! Are you kidding me? ITS FLIPPING GORGEOUS! (minus the silver since I already purchased it.)CHEERS!!!
is the black sort of off color in certain spots or is that smudging? is it flat black?
Some really good looking copies above. Tempting.
