don't get your hopes up. The leather will probably feel and look like trash

Non-OEM (FAKE/CLONE) Apple Watch Bands

Received my black link (3rd gen) yesterday & sized it to fit my wrist. I like the black link with my watch - but, yes, the silver shows though.
What would we say is the best black Milanese Loop clone on amazon at this time? Which seller? (I have a bunch of amazon credit so that is why sadly amazon is first up. If no real ideas , I guess freedom will get another sale. 
Well that lasted for a little while... I had the lnkoo Milanese loop, the one that could unravel. It gave way while adjusting today, not even excessive force, just enough to pull the magnet off and adjust. I'd recommend not testing the connecting between the mesh and magnetic end, or you might find yourself with a similar looking loop.
I guess that's what you get for a $30 knock off vs a $230 Apple loop (Canadian price with tax). Back to using the leather loop!

Use some industrial strength adhesive and glue that sucker back in!
Does lnkoo have a 180 warranty like Freedomoclock09? Turn that sucker in!
Any one else have any issues with ordering from lnkoo888? I ordered and leather loop and sportband on August 3rd and was told it would be delivered by August 20th (I'm in Canada). Nothing yet. When I contacted him he said it takes longer to get to Canada, which is fine but a month seems awfully long.
I emailed him last night and he said to check with the post office or go and ask my neighbors.
Also do you guys know how to track items from China Post? The tracking he gave me stopped working on August 10th.

Exact same thing happened to mine (post #1539). Same spot, same seller. He offered a new one or a refund. I chose a new one. I'm thinking I should have asked for the refund now.
I don't know how it works in Canada, but in the US, once China Post hands it off to the USPS, you can use the same tracking number to follow the item in country.
In my experience shipping into Canada from the US, I've had several packages lost. I waited several months for a package to arrive at its destination in Canada and it finally arrived one day. Not the greatest postal service.
He ships from China, not the US.
The tracking number he gave me is totally useless as it hasn't been undated since August 10th. I'm a little unsure as to what I should do. I don't want to ask for a refund and have the package show up later. But my eBay profile says the item should be here no later than August 20th.
No, I understand that. I gave my experience because it was shipping INTO Canada. I understand that he ships from China if going to Canada. Just thought it may be a similar experience.
Just spotted this
http://m.aliexpress.com/item/32458020060.html
Looks like version 3 without holes on the side (pins on the under side). I wonder if there will be a gap issue on the first link, since it's removable just like the links with the gap.

I just received this MB clone today from this seller:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Modern-Buck...252070114200&srcrot=e11021.m43.l3160&rvr_id=0
It is made very well... leather is supple & is just like the OEM. Magnets are strong. In pix, the MB black (gold plated) is Apple original & the brown is the clone.
I returned my silver link bracelet to Freedomoclock09 for a full refund and ordered this: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=161798474138&globalID=EBAY-US
It is everything I wanted. No gaps, very tight, and well constructed. It looks really good! Very happy with it! The pins are spring pins so it was really easy to size with a paper clip. The shipping only took eight days from Hong Kong.

There are holes on the side of the first five links. With a paper clip or something similar you push the spring pin in through the hole to remove the link.

I ordered a green and white sport band from Moko on Amazon. I got the green one today and it's great! The ends don't pertrude from the watch but have a seam, fair warning though it's hardly noticeable. I don't know how close the OEM green matches the green watch face color but this one is a hair too lime. That might be just me. I'll post the link later.
