That is awesome looking. Can't wait to get one. Waiting until the price comes down.
I went ahead and ordered a Hermès double tour copy from Aliexpress. I ordered black and brown and they are great. Real leather as well. Please excuse the watermark. I have had pictures taken off this forum and end up in Aliexpress listings. I have watermarked it with my husbands company as I didn't want to put my name ...
ETA: Here is the link to the seller ... http://www.aliexpress.com/item/The-...celet-Leather-Watchband-38mm/32479939649.html
Nice I like it.
I had ordered one myself (a brown one) but cancelled it after the shipping got delayed.
Maybe I order again after seeing this.
I am also wearing the watch on the left only crown on right. So I am going for the leather loop on the left.
I made a quick review video of my replica Hermés Double Tour band. Please watch before ordering ...

Loved the video! Thank you
The band looks good quality and I'd say your negatives towards the band would apply to the genuine one too, no?
I've ordered the cuff... Which I presume includes the single tour (you just unthread it...?) so I'll let you know what it's like. The brown leather looks great!

I agree. I am interested to know how the original fits. I have watched a few videos and they all appear loosely wrapped which won't keep the contact with the sensor.
These bands are excellent quality and are real leather. Perhaps if my digital crown were in the right upper position, they would work better for me. Still loving my replica modern buckle though
. I think the cuff will be a better option for me as well. Very excited to get that. I ordered black and red
. Did you get the brown cuff or? Now I'm sad I didn't get a brown one too :/.

I have a modern buckle in brown coming tomorrow. I think that's 11 OEM style bands in my collection now...!
Yes, I got the brown cuff as I just really like brown leather and thought it looked the best in the photos and I like the contrast stitching.
Did you also order a modern buckle off AliExpress in blue?
Thanks
Whow this is some good input. Love it.
(I am not using any of the sensors btw, so it's no problem for me but I see why this can be a problem for others)

Hey. Great video. You are very sweet. Tell me, how is the stitching on the band? Any chance of some close up shots of it. Are the adapters good- fit well? I ask as I have ordered a clone single tour band.

I ordered a black modern buckle from the same seller a few months back. I am very pleased with it and wear it often. You will love the modern buckle.
I'm really trying to up my brown game
. I feel like I'm brown so the brown is just there on me ... Lol . I don't really wear brown clothes either. If I do, I tend to look naked! 
.
Thank you so much
. Yes, I can do some closeups in a little bit. I find the stitching to be solid and of great quality. The adaptors also fit well and are snug. Do you want closeups of the black or brown (or both)?
Xx
I should be getting the original hermes from Silicone Valley sometime in the next few weeks after they're done promoting the film. One of the Chairmen at Apple is sending me one, Just not sure when. I figure once
What is the width of the modern buckle on the faux one? If I may ask. Like what does it look like from the adapter part?I ordered a black modern buckle from the same seller a few months back. I am very pleased with it and wear it often. You will love the modern buckle.

Edit... I just realized that somehow the rest of my post got deleted. Or was it the mods?
Please advise so I can either fix this and finish my sentence or leave it blank. Thanks!

Here you are. Let me know if you were looking for some other angle. I have taken the front and back of the band. On the backside, it feels like suede.

Well, have to say thanks to all the input in this thread. I bought my Apple Watch Sport in May and always wanted to get a Milanese Loop. The UK Apple price for it is £129, but seeing as I'm heading out to the US next month, I was gonna treat myself while there and get it a bit cheaper (closer to £100 after tax and conversion back to GBP). Well then I came across this thread and that got me started.
Did a bit of research throught he posts and decided on a Milanese Loop Clone on eBay from (I assume the UK version of lnkoo888) lnkoo999, selling for £16.99 free P&P. It arrived last Thursday and I've been wearing it since to test out the strength of the fixings and magnet. So far it's holding up really well with nothing to really worry me.
Anyway, I'm very impressed with the build quality and seeing as I tried on the Milanese in the Apple store for my tryon session, it's seems exactly the same.
Check out the photo's below.
Hi Buddy,
You couldn't provide the link to your watch to see if they do black.
ps I guess you are still happy? do you wear it everyday?
Thanks

Just applied this to my leather strap
'Dubbin' PROTECTS PRESERVES & SOFTENS
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=111689194952&globalID=EBAY-GB
really recommend it.
The strap was this one:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/301647821184
shipped from UK very happy with the black version.
I just have to double check the 'buckle tongue' is always in the 'adjustment hole'.
It was starting to show signs of 'cracking' slightly, the 'Dubbin' has sorted that.
hope this helps someone.

Thank you so much. It looks great quality. Appreciate the photos. I'll post pics of my single tour when I get it.
Somebody know if there are good 1:1 Milanese loop clones out there?
The first ones from a couple of weeks/months back where not that great so I waited with buying that ones.
