Honestly the gaps on that look worse than the Utica band.

Really? Could have fooled me. I'm happy. That's all that matters :)

Utica vs Inkoo

So I'm guessing you've got to pin the links from the sides and they're not hidden like Freedomoclock's?
It looks good though.

They're not hidden like Freedomunlock's. It was easier to size but but I did like the hidden spring bars better. I guess it's a trade off for less gaps.

Now bring on the 1:1's!!

I received my 42mm black link bracelet from Inkoo yesterday.(uk) Bracelet had scratches and chips on some of the links, came with no packaging just bubble wrap and the gaps between links were big. Contacted the seller for a refund still waiting to hear back

Mine came the same way. Luckily, there was no damage. The return should be easy, at least.

I hope Freedomunlock/Utica gets a decent version of the 1:1 clone. I'd really like to have the 180 day warranty on that band.

Maybe they will make a grey one soon, I'm not sure. I'm waiting to hear back from the seller about the push buttons as confirmation!

I remember reading earlier Apple had patents on parts of the Link Band. If these 1:1 are virtually interchangeable down to extra Links, I wonder how this is different to "counterfeit" watches. I suppose unlike Rolex, TAG etc, there's no Apple logo on these parts, right?

Probably around a week or so, I'm waiting for the price to come down as it's about £170.

Looks good! Hope they are really here next week. We are hearing "next week" for a couple of weeks now.

I had contact which "China" earlier and they expect to sell for $120,- after the first rush is gone.

I got my link bracelet today from Freedomoclock09 aka Utica guy. I like it. It does have a gap but I don't mind it. It's well made and great quality for $59. The tool was not very helpful in taking out the links. I used a sharp knife since it was thinner and could reach in between the pin and the link easier... way easier.

So the gap has widened and it's really bugging me now. I looked into exchanging links from the ones I removed since they are more narrow but the link next to the adapter is non removable. I would have to cut the links off. I wrote Freedomoclock09 to see if he had any suggestions... Either a fix or refund.
