For those that are interested, there are some really nice Hermes style double tour and cuff clones on AliExpress for around £20-30 which look pretty nice on the live photos. I think they're nice, but not sure if they're for guys.

thanks for the links.

These knock offs seem to be never ending!- and get better!

Just got my milanese loop 3 weeks early for £100 less.

I'm not sure if I like the idea of fiddling with a screw driver though on the hermes one. I've already smashed the screen from dropping my last Sport. Nice straps though for someone who is handy and prepared to take the risk of the link being compromised.

Cheers

I got the reply that it was "watermelon red" what a joke....
Not gonna bother sending it back because of the low price, and the quality is OK.
Probably gonna give it away in the future...
Still looking for a real good and actual RED sports band though.
Any suggestions out there?

It looks good, but there's no way to choose the color?
You have to leave them a message stating the color?
I think i'll wait for the first reviews...

yes I noticed that, I think 'aliexpress' wins the worst e shopping experience I have ever come across (I've been an amazon customer since 1999).

Someone would need to actually show me how to place an order with aliexpress.

Cuff: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/100-...-Watchband-38mm-and-42mm-1-1/32485835498.html

Double Tour: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/The-...nd-For-Apple-Watch-38mm-42mm/32477148706.html

Look pretty nice! I'd consider the cuff one and taking the actual cuff part off, and just using the strap part - look more masculine, then.

Those both look great - especially the red! I'd be tempted to get one, but can't tell if it ships with the silver lugs, which won't go with my SGS.

You can choose black lugs if You want :)

Received my 3rd Gen black Link bracelet today.

Not happy.

It has a defect on the first link to the casing (doesn't curve into the next link on one side, looks like it was cut afterwards because it's showing silver.). You can see impressions slightly on the main link to the watch body, where the adapter cutouts are.
It doesn't curve as much as the second gen, so it bows out of the wrist and leaves noticeable gaps.

On the plus side, I guess, the link gaps aren't too bad.

I paid $120 CAD for this and it's pretty much unwearable.

Going to contact seller and see what he/she says.

Contacted seller and they offered me a $10 refund. :rolleyes:

Their policy says that any defect warrants a full refund. Should I contact eBay if they are uncooperative?

I have never had to lay a claim as most sellers have been very fair in resolving any problems.

A seller on AliExpress sent me a photo of the double tour Hermes clone, I think the leather looks pretty good. Shame about the adapters, but they could be changed easily I expect.

The leather looks really nice, I think I may invest in the cuff!

EDIT: I just placed an order for the cuff :D

Oh man I'm probably going to get the double tour. I should probably wait for a review first

Are these adapters secure?
