Somebody know if there is a 1:1 clone of the Leather loop?
All I find on aliexpress are with not 100% fitting watch adapters.
No the 1:1 clone is not out yet.
Every week it comes out "next week"

Thanks for adding the links.
Yes he has a few for sale but I am assuming I would select the 1:1 original Tarnish (black)?

How is the first one you posted a 1:1 clone if the adjustment mechanism isn't the same as the OEM strap?
Can anyone confirm if the version 3 black is the same as the official Apple black link bracelet? This is the link I am comparing against:-

That's crazy you say that because I got version .2 of the .5/1 clone from Richard Freedomoclock today and in fact, as I posted last week, the new version of the link has more removable links.
In fact the last one, I could only remove 2 from each side whilst the new one, I removed 4 links from each end of the link and now my watch fits nice and snug.
I have to say there are gaps by the clasp and maybe one or two not too noticeable on the band's sides (well I'm OCD too and take meds for it so maybe that's why it doesn't bother me at all) but other than that, the link band now fits perfectly and it's now small to fit my 140mm wrist.
This is what it looks like btw.
) but other than that, the link band now fits perfectly and it's now small to fit my 140mm wrist.Really? Maybe I'm missing something here, but my wrist is 160mm and it's still loose. I just counted and it looks like I removed 3 links from each side, but none of the other links are removable -- maybe I got a different model than you?
I'll probably return it anyway, because this unevenness is pretty ridiculous. Unless it's normal, which I hope it's not...

I removed 8 links total from my band. 4 from each side. This is what it looks like from the back.
I'm getting more confused now and hope you can help.
I am looking at the black not the silver so that it goes with my space grey sport watch.
Looking at v1 it seems more like space grey than black.
Looking at v3 is seems more jet black.
I think the v1 colour will go better but wondering if there is a space grey version 3 as I think the black is jury too dark and is darker than the official Apple black one.
Can anyone confirm a v3 or v2 in space grey?
These links i've posted are just there to compare the version with other version. Dont mind the color because the color can be different from each seller.
A few weeks ago i tried the original SG Link Bracelet in a Apple Reseller nearby and it was awesome. Stupid me forgot to take pictures. Maybe i'll again in 2 weeks to make some pictures.
The SG Link Bracelet is the first band that has style for the office compared to a Sports band and makes the Apple Watch look even more expensive.
Sorry I wasn't clear... I did notice that your links are just how the physically compare and not colours...
This v1 seems to be the colour I would like:-

This v3 I think is just too black:-
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/391241513...49&var=660538821533&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
I guess my question is, do you know where I can find a Space Grey (or the colour in the V1 link above) but in a Version 3??
Wonder how these black link bands will maintain their finish. Least you have a chance of replacing the band if it wears from Apple. Course you could also buy 4 of them from eBay for the same price
I really dont know where you can get that.
Youtube link for more information on the real color:
Ive some more news. Recieved a load of pictures of a seller today.
Product quality looks amazing, no gap, color looks good. Too bad its a v3 band.
Price is 65 USD + shipping costs for 1 band, more bands means discount.

Dude. What the hell was I saying. I was half asleep when I posted this quite literally and not even kidding. I regress from saying 1.1 when I meant 5/1.
Sorry for my own mess. Not blaming it on meds but I'm on Clonidine 3 times a day for my BP and that crap makes me pass out in the middle of the day.
My apologies!Also to those wondering about the links removed from my link band, as mentioned before I removed 8 and the band fits just nicely now. Here's a shot of it with the remaining removed links.
Here ya go!
This is one of them.

There's another listing.

And yet the only seller that has the soft pink buckle.

Looks like they're holding back on the pink one for now. I asked Richard if he'll be carrying it at the Freedomoclock store and he said he is waiting to find out when will they be available. Once I know and if the pink is coming, I'll keep you posted!
I ordered it on July 10, and I'm still waiting for it, it takes a long ass time to make because they are being made by hand.
Here's the only seller that has it as of now:

One thing that has been bothering me with the Black Link Bands I have been seeing is that there seems to be silver material that can been seen between the links. Is this the same with the one you bought?
