[etphone]

Any US seller beating $60 for a LL yet? I have been scanning the thread but nothing jumps out.

Order this one today, shipping from the US and should be here Wed/Thur. I'll post pics and thoughts when I get the loop.

I ordered this one hope it's similar to yours http://m.aliexpress.com/item/32381212998.html

Do you mind keeping us updated on how long it takes to arrive and the fit and finish when it does? If it's any good I'll definitely buy one.

Mine arrived today from the UK, using Royal Mail Tracked 48 (4 days after ordering although the seller said Monday 20 so technically 3 days early).

I had been looking forward to it's arrival, and I am absolutely blown away with the quality. I cannot think of how it could be made more realistic, and it even smells like it's leather too.

I've attached some photos (but like many in this thread I have wrists that are probably slightly small for the 42mm ).

If you live in the UK and have £29 spare, I cannot see any reason not to order one of these. An extra sport band is £39, and a real leather loop is £100 more!

Edit: And these also come in 38mm unlike Apple's!

I ordered a red leather loop from another eBay seller.

Got a tracking number, but it's been a week and it's still not registering.

Hope I didn't get burned again. The seller has good feedback, and it seems like a few people got theirs already....

I contacted the Seller and they gave me the wrong tracking number. The new one they gave me does indeed say it's on it's way to Canada. So knock on wood....

Got my band from Sea_Daughter on Aliexpress today and I've got to say my faith in human race has been officially restored.
Magnets are strong. As strong as the Apple official one. I know because my husband got my neighbors to bring his to compare while I slept during my morning chemo treatment. So I woke up to both bracelets for comparison and here it is. It's nice. And while its a tiny bit short on the connectors (barely noticeable if at all) it's pretty nice. The faux leather holds and feels very nice, the magnets are strong and it makes Mickey pop. I have the feeling I'll order the other colors given the good experience.

DO you have a direct link to the band? I can't find it on Aliexpress. THanks

I posted in this thread last week the same red and blue band from Aliexpress. Look back in the thread a few days and I have posted the link.

HTH

I'm getting impatient for my Red Loop.

I ordered a black Loop yesterday.

My band collection is getting out of hand.

Is there a Bands Anonymous group yet?

Can't wait for this bugger to show

A Mod needs to clean up this thread quick. Stay on topic peeps.

Ugh, picked up 3 bands today! and another one last night!

 

[slvrscoobie]

The Hoco feels and looks almost identical to the Apple strap - except for the space gray lugs that came with it.

Damn you. That seller had a blue leather with dark adapters, and I had to pick one up!

 

[Binarymix]

REALLY loving that grew red and black band !

It's from Poetic, so I expect the Quality to be great!:

Can I ask where you ordered it from? Mine feels and smells quite plasticy, but the seller assures me it is leather. How is yours?

Hey guys! So I just got an email from this seller from Aliexpress and he says he has these available. Unfortunately for us 38mm adopters we're out of luck since these are 42mm links. Anyhow, since someone ha been posting updates on the links manufacture process from what seems to be a reliable source, thought to post and see if this can be verified as well as if the photos sent to my email are legit or not.
Take a look!

I can confirm those bands are now more widely available. ianfann showed it to me on Taobao first and it was going for about 80 USD. I think it's maybe the product of the molds they used trying to recreate the links for the real 1:1. At least it's interesting that it comes out right now when the real link bracelet clone is just around the corner.

It seems like you are very informed about these link bracelet clones, will you be able to post a link to a reliable seller when you know that a high quality 1:1 link bracelet is available?

 

[Jmona]

I just hope that soon we can see a 38mm. I'd very much like to get one. So far though I'm loving the red leather loop a lot! I recommend Sea Daughter from Aliexpress a lot. I went ahead and ordered 2 more. The blue and the brown but from Freedomoclock09 on eBay. It's a Chinese store that has a warehouse in NY so hopefully once they start shipping by the end of this month I'll get them.
Now. Does anyone recommend a Milanese Loop clone? I've seen some that have gotten one but sadly the sellers on Aliexpress don't accept paypal and it's the only trusted method of payment for me at the moment.

Freedomoclock09 also has the Milanese Loop clone with magnet. I ordered the Blue Leather Loop from them on the July 13 and it just shipped today and will be delivered on Monday. I looks like the the Milanese Loop is a pre order that will ship at the end of August, if you want to wait.

Here is that link for the Milanese Loop

I'll post pictures of my 42mm Blue Leather Loop once I get it.

What if the magnet fails on these ? Straight on the concrete floor...is it worth the risk ?
