I ordered from him as well. Right now it's been seven days since my order and my tracking hasn't changed in 4 days. Just says it departed Secaucus.. And that's it. I just sent him another (not so pleasant) email. We'll see what he has to say. I don't mind waiting 10 days for something to come in the mail but his store says that his items are located in New Jersey. They clearly aren't. That is the only reason I ordered from him. If I wanted to order from China, I would have.
I would say for anyone who uses him to buy with caution. I'm giving him till Monday and will open a dispute.
I offered $30 for this band: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261961841425?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Thanks @bmwellsokstate ! The band looks fantastic in ur pics so I'm excited!

I would advise to just stay on him if he doesn't provide a tracking number within a day and again if it doesn't update after a day. Like I said, it has been fine for me.
Yeah it went unchanged for a couple days for me after it initially departed from somewhere in WA, not NJ. Either way, it was within the US and did arrive. Good enough price to try to be patient.
Also offered $30 for the milanese replica and he agreed to it. Hopefully it comes sometime mid-next week rather than Aug 3rd haha
Same thing got it for 30$. It's a steal if it looks the same as the pics posted!
He must have accepted all the offers at once haha; got it for $30 as well! What a deal for an excellent looking band! For me, $150 is just too much for the official ML; I might wear it twice a week or so; so to pay the full price for the Apple one would be a waste.
Add me to the list of $30 offers he accepted. You should be getting paid commission for all these knockoff Milanese sales you just made for him, bmwellsokstate. 
Any chance you could visit the Apple Store for a closer comparison with the Milanese Loop?
Hi guys
I'm expecting to receive my watch sgs in a week and would really like to order a black leather loop. I've been going through the posts here and just really wanted to check if any eBay seller has one with a perfect fit i.e. without any gaps or spaces between the watch and the band. I'm outside of the U.S. so need a seller who provides international shipping. Thanks for your help in advance.
Cheers

Just got my white sport band knock off from this seller.

Looks great! Feels just like my OEM sports band. Supple and soft. Only problem was the engagement mechanism was a little thick so I had to shove it in and it stripped off a bit of the buttons 'rubber' works great now but not as smooth of an install.

Sweet!! Waiting for my black LL to arrive from same seller. Also paid $41 so slightly annoyed it's down to 37 now :/
Oh, I know. I wish! HahaAdd me to the list of $30 offers he accepted. You should be getting paid commission for all these knockoff Milanese sales you just made for him, bmwellsokstate.
Unfortunately I'm in clinicals right now for PT school, so I probably won't be able to anytime soon. Life is a little crazy right now. Sorry!
I also submitted a $30 bid for the Milanese band. Hope he accepts it. The band looks amazing.
He accepted my $30 bid. I guess we will all be receiving them around the same time.
Thanks bmwellsokstate for the heads up.

Got my Blue Leather Loop for the above seller. Just as everyone else is reporting it's nice. Magnets are strong. Leather is thinner for sure but whatever. After 15 minutes I'm happy.
Looks fine to me. I'm not too picky though. I'll take some pics and upload them when I get a min.
Ok everyone. It is a steal, an I won't draw away from that. However.
Here's my reasoning and stay with me before you stone me to death for saying it. lol
Deals often don't pan out very well and I'll tell you why. This guy in his listing says he has a 14 day return policy and the buyer must contact seller within 7 days of receiving item.
Most stores do that but.
I MUCH rather, pay the extra $10 to Utica Guy aka Freedomoclock09 on eBay because not only do I know I'm getting a good product but if I run in to problems with my purchase, I don't have 7, nor 14 days to contact or return said item.
The guy clearly states this in ALL his listings and as a prior customer and know that in no way am I getting any discounts whatsoever nor am I getting freebies of any kind for saying this either; offers 180 days of warranty for those products.
So I know that later on after my 14 day trial is done and something has gone wrong; BAM. I have the convenience of good reliable customer service that provides a cushion to every item I buy.
So. Yes. You'll pay a little extra and you might regret it in 4 months. But the way I see it with so many problems I've run in to lately with products I've purchased for my Apple Watch, I much rather pay the price.
Deals are awesome but it's more awesome to have the advantage of talking to a seller that backs each and every product you buy up to 4 months.
If you don't like it, send it back. Label is on you but if you don't want that band 2 months down the line as I once asked, they said they'd send your money back!
Now tell me, where in the heck, who in eBay gives YOU that guarantee? It's not a cheap watch, and while the materials are the same considering all these products might all be coming out of Guangdong, Guangzhou or whatever it's called, you can't go on buying a product that in the long run might inflict even the tiniest damage on your wearable. Having the extra little protection is just precaution. Some might not be able to afford it as we've all purchase a very expensive watch but after a while and if you change your mind, you will appreciate having those extra 180 days of warranty that covers everything coming from Freedomoclock.
So. For me is a no brainer. I bought another 2 bands from him. The Milanese and the 1:2 link clone and although I payed a little more than $30 I know I will be happy with my purchase. If not? No foul. I have that backing there to set me up if need be.
Yesterday I received my red LL from here, for my Silver Sport 42mm. So far I'm liking it. The magnets are plenty strong, and the length is fine for my wrist, which is fairly large (I wear the M/L SB on the third hole). The red color is great.
Here's my only thing though: I'm not sure if it's real leather. Now I'm no expert on leather, and I only had a small bit of time with the OEM LL at the Apple Store try on way back in April, so I'm not sure. To those that have both OEM and non OEM: do they feel the same?
