Just got the 0,5:1 clone in the mail.
It's the same one as reviewd a couple of pages back, same seller.

And it's damned impressive, the closere of the band is differend but all the rest is spot on.
Links are the same size, finish on the SS is the same, the Adapter that goes on the watch is exacly the same (No GAP!!!!! :) )

Highly reccomended to buy this one from this AliExpress seller!

It looks so great! grats with the nice link bracelet :)

I got the AW space grey and thinking about buying this link bracelet in black from the same seller. Anyone purchased the black version from this seller? I would really like to see some pictures of it.

I am wearing one now and it is my smartest looking strap and I wear it everyday the whole day. I have been wearing it for one week now and it feels very very comfortable.

What do you think about this band? It's like the Apple's one however the locking mechanism seems a little sketchy.

Looks a bit sketchy indeed. still having the "butterfly" locking mechanism but also a original look outside of the locking mechanism. Looks like we can expect real 1:1 replicas soon tho.

Finally! My Milanese Loop from Inkoo888 arrived, after very quirky shipping.
Anyways, I am BLOWN AWAY by the quality of this band. The mesh is very fine, unlike some of the clones I've seen. Looks identical to the OEM, at least based on pics I've seen.
The adapters fit fine, and seem as good as I'd expect for only $30.
Magnet is very strong, although it does fit through the adapter as you can see in the picture.
It's very comfortable on my wrist; even though I've only had it on for like 20 minutes, I am so impressed by it.
I HIGHLY recommend this band. Seriously buy it if you are even remotely considering the ML. It is EXCELLENT!


That's pretty nice. Thx for sharing.

I know it'd block the sensors, but I'd love to have two of the loop side adapters for nato bands.

Just got utica guys ML and quite frankly I'm stunned with it. The fit on the watch is pretty much perfect.

I got the OEM SS Link Bracelet & I'd like to buy the non-OEM Black Link. I'm wondering if the replica uses DLC treatment or if it is just using a dye..

It's not my first butterfly clasp band, had the, before on other watches, never been uncomfortable in any way.

The clasp is "round" so it follows the curve of your wrist.
(See picture).

Looks great and when it's on my wrist there is no way you can see it's not the real one, you must turn your wrist to see that.

eBay user partswowdotcom, has some really great sports bands available. Purchased white and blue. Look and feel identical, almost....but a good value! And built in latch mechanism also!

Might I add order the loop from Inko as well, was impressed by everyone sharing their purchase so thanks all!

Got a special treat from the Utica seller today, I've been in close contact with him for a while now. Sent me these pictures this morning. This is the 0.90:1 clone with the butterfly clasp looking like the apple one but uses a different locking mechanism.

The bands are on their way to him from China via DHL overnight, 50 in the initial shipment. Another 100 will arrive next week for any additional orders. I am securing a discount for macrumors members so stay tuned. It appears in initial talks he is considering selling at cost, so to avoid any possible undercutting. (Like inko88 seller and the Milanese band well below what Utica guy is selling but its the same product). Also if anyone is still interested in Milanese loops i should be able to secure a lower price than inko88. Thanks to Richard!

I will have a review model of the steel link bracelet in hand by Monday hopefully.

For now here are pictures of how to resize the band. :)
