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


If shipped after July 29th they updated it with a newer version. Their factory is constantly improving the product, so there will always be 'Revision1, 2, 3' etc until it's 1:1 clone. Looks like they are on 'Revision 2' Milanese now as Richard has stated there are more changes coming in the Milanese and Steel Link bands. Good times!

Hey guys I got a question. Im new to the whole Apple Watch scene and I'm still within my 14 days return window and I'm thinking of returning my 42mm sports band and pay the extra $100 to get the official Milanese loops. Is the knockoff Milanese loop that much different from the official Apple Milanese Loop? Also which knockoff Milanese Loop would be the best to get

I have to say, after an initial bad experience with freedomoclock (EARLY on, first adapters never shipping, making excuses, etc), they've turned around to be a fantastic seller. Great communication, fast shipping, good prices, and excellent products so far. Now if only someone can convince them to get cloned sport bands in different colors. There's a huge market for that, not sure why no one's jumped in. They can clearly clone the band well. Someone should provide all the colors Apple hasn't yet (red, orange, yellow, purple, navy, maroon, etc).

I ordered mine from seller Inkoo888 on eBay. The band is outstanding, see my pictures posted Tuesday. The only issue is the shipping is a bit weird. I think at this point several sellers are selling pretty much the same Milanese loop, and it looks extremely close to Apple's.

I'm waiting for someone to post a photo of a Space Gray Sport with either the OEM Space Black band or a 1:1 clone band in black. If anyone knows of one, please share!

Here is a video review of the OEM black Link bracelet on the space grey sport
. It shows it at the 2:35 minute mark in the video. LOOKS GREAT! I ordered the clone on eBay, looking forward to it.

I just helped my brother buy this 0.5:1 clone space grey link bracelet for his 42mm SGS. I still prefer my SS though...

Just ordered a blue leather loop from lnkoo999 (the UK version of lnkoo888). Due to be delivered just after I come back from holiday. I'm hoping the quality will be just as good as the ones seen here!

Thank you for posting that! I saw this video on Youtube and for some reason I was never able to find it again. Cheers!

I bought and paid for the ML from inkoo888 on the 28th and received it on the 5th going to Vancouver so it may get to you sooner than you think.

Altough Vancouver is closer to China then Montreal is.

Will see. If I'm satisfied, he will get other orders from me.

So is the leather loop from Freedomoclock better than the one from lnkoo888 or are they all the same? I remember reading on a thread here that the magnet on one from lnkoo888 wasn't that strong
