I MUCH rather, pay the extra $10 to Utica Guy aka Freedomoclock09
Freedomoclock09 is actually charging $50 for the same band and it is a pre-order. So that is $20 difference, as Inkoo888 is accepting $30 bids.
Got a tip for us?

Great pics, loving the color.
My order from the same seller, same color, is arriving today. I own the OEM Blue LL in M, so will be able to compare the difference. At times I wonder if the OEM is real leather. But, it is very comfortable to wear. Right now I am wearing it daily, switching off with the BSB.
I have the 5 Bead HOCO band which I am not wearing at all. If I take out 2 links it is too tight, 1 link out it is too loose. I guess my wrist it not the right size for it. I have worn it twice, and will probably list it for sale.

I was going to order another 42mm leather loop. I purchased a blue one from Freedomoclock09. I would order from him but his price is 49.99 and Inkoo88 is 36.99. That is a big difference in price. I was planning on getting an brown or stone, but not sure yet. I was just wondering what type of box did your 42mm Blue Leather Loop come in? This will let me know if they are using the same manufacturing plant. I have had no problems with Freedomoclock09 when it comes to shipping or problems. How is Inkoo88 when it comes to tracking, problems, etc? I do live in the U.S., so I want a U.S. seller. If you could post picture of box, if you still have it, or describe it, that would be appreciated. Thanks
I had the OEM blue leather loop for about a week. I remember the first thought I had when I put it on ... "This really doesn't feel like leather". It had more of a plactic-y/vinyl feel to it. I equated it the texture and thinness. It wasn't worth $150 to me so that why it went back.
Ah ok so even the Apple one doesn't have a typical leather feel. Thanks for the info!
It did not come in a box. It was in a plastic baggy looking thing. Sounds sketchy, but I'm still loving it! Haha. As far as shipping.. I would say to just make sure you get a tracking number within a day and you should be fine. If not, just shoot him a message and keep him honest
My Blue leather loop from Utica guy is coming today. Will post pics once I receive it.
Milanese from Inkoo88 has been shipped.

Ended up getting the Milanese loop from inkoo88 for $30. It shipped today, however it shipped from China post. I thought these were supposed to ship from the US?
I got my blue leather loop from Inkoo888 today. It doesn't come in a box like the rest and while I can't attest of the quality of the other knock offs, his seems to be on par with the pictures that I've seen
You definitely have to stay on top of him but he does respond back within a day or two. It took 10 days for mine to get to Florida.

Initial pics of red LL delivered from Utica. Bought on eBay 7/19, delivered 7/27 (6 business days).
All above adjectives hold true, it seems like a great buy! I cleaned it with a warm, moist towel, then some Lexol, an automotive leather cleaner, and now I will use Voodoo leather conditioner to try to soften it up some. I'll report back on the outcome.

I believe someone already posted this, however, wanted to reaffirm what they said.
Just received my green bands from this:
http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Silicone...d=1438019123&sr=8-4&keywords=moko+apple+watch
And when I ordered, it was Prime. Got to me in 2 days and quality is excellent. A little difficult to push in at first, but unless I told you or you turned it over to look for the apple markings, you would think I got it from the apple store. I will say, because I have a black OEM sport band, this band is thinner, but it feels like a sport band at a fraction of the cost.
Will report back if there is any color bleeding or peeling.

As did mine. The tracking number he provided me last week for my leather loop still isn't tracking. I have a feeling the same will happen with this one. I sent him a message asking about it.
On a side note my link band clone from AliExpress is showing to be stateside in San Francisco. Should be here in a few days.
Production is running but it is very slow. Currently it looks likely to be an early August release for a first batch.
The fact they use that simple clasp and make it look like it would be the real deal from the outside. Very inventive!
You got me worried. I preordered it and thought what was funny was that I would never get it lol.
No no! ;-) I can't see a reason this clone couldn't be legit and coming out soon. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
Not sure if anyone's posted/mentioned yet, but there are 3rd party leather loops now available on Amazon with Prime for $50: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011TR4FB2
Very nice. I'm hoping they do the prime shipping again then I will order. Been looking for a quality sport band.
