Good luck! I hope you like it as much as I like mine. SBSS Link Bracelet is beautiful. I still need to post pics, but wanted to get some really good ones.

Received the band. It’s genuine looks great. So, for fun checked eBay for others and could have bought another used band for less. I’m good though. It looks new and works great.

Got my SBSS link band on Friday. This thing is awesome! Obviously have not had the OEM Apple one to compare to but based on my experience with Apple products I think this meets that level of quality.

Just pulled the trigger on two of these. One for me and one for a co-worker. At almost $300 less than retail it’s a great deal. I’ve read some murmurs about possible cancellation of these. Seeing the availability on the site, makes me wonder if this is true.

Has anyone bought a Milanese loop from this seller? Everyone in this thread has bought the link bracelet or leather loop but no mention of the quality of the Milanese.

Cheers

I bought mine on eBay before I found this seller. I think I got it for like $70 open box with the plastic still on the magnetic part. The nice thing is it has its box as well.

I can’t wait for mine to arrive. Shipped a couple of days ago. How do you adjust the links?
There are videos that show it better on YouTube but its simple, you press a button similar to what you do when you remove a band from the watch. Same function and similar size. That is one of the best features. I am not wearing mine at the moment, I like to swap bands around, but when I put it on and take it off the watch I press one of the buttons on the band to split it. I then remove it from the watch, it makes it easier.

Wow. Leave it to Apple. Thanks for the reply.

I was hoping for better pictures. This is after over 2 months. I don’t see the “Assembled in China” on the lugs. But there is the 316L stainless inside the butterfly clasp. Either way, it looked brand new. Wouldn’t know how to tell if it’s authentic or not.

Are the sides polished? The authentic Apple ones have polished sides. I’ve never seen a knockoff one with polished sides.

Looking to buy from the uk. As the price is in dollars if I pay via credit card through paypal are there any hidden charges with difference in currency?

When I bought my link bracelet through eBay/Paypal it converted it to GBP and requested that from the bank.

Is the Link Bracelet band ordered from here factory-quality and new? I want a silver version.
Thank!

It’s a fantastic deal. No packaging of course but they’re in great shape. For the money you won’t be disappointed.

This is not watch related but I found a similar listing with the smart battery case for 6s, it was just the case without packaging like 60% of the price. I don't know how they do this but it's awesome when you find such deals.

These are supposed to be brand new. Mine was. Even smelled like one.

My SBSS Link Bracelet arrived today and it is flawless. Almost bought it at retail, but glad I did not as I saved so much. Also received a flawless White Leather Loop.

The White Leather Loop open box I got from him is legitimate (I have a Black and a Forest Green purchased new from the Apple Store to compare it to and they are identical in markings and materials) and looking at his Classic Loop open boxes, they are identical to the new ones I have purchased so I would expect his Sport Loops are legitimate, as well.
