Hi Buddy,

Slightly off topic, but on your review on your facebook link for the excellent watch stand eLander 42mm black.
I fixed the side cable management 'problem' with this product sold in the UK. The 'edge' of the tape doesn't really show in 'normal' light and blends with the 'piano black' stand. This tape is really strong and has stayed in place since 02/07/15 when the stand was purchased from amazon UK.
Gorilla Tape 1-inch Handy Roll https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001E5ZWT4/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_Kvylwb7ZWX4TF and a sharp knife required.

Please excuse my poor photo done in a hurry.

I notice amazon US sell it http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001E...rilla+tape&dpPl=1&dpID=51gLhOZAxIL&ref=plSrch

this was the knife I used to get the diagonal cut:
http://www.amazon.com/Kitchen-Devil...-1&keywords=Kitchen+Devil+Multi+Purpose+Knife
which is serrated on both sides of the blade.

might go nice with your new SS black.

hope that helps

ps
I'm rubbish at DIY!

It seems there is a quality issue with the 4th Generation clone link band which leads to a total failure:
Here he explains the problem in more detail:

Actually I think the quality of the link parts is almost spot on - So only minor changes are necessary for a almost perfect alternative to the real deal.
Can anyone confirm if this problem has been solved or if it still exists?

Is anybody else having this issue with the 1:1 bands?

Got my brown modern buckle today in 42mm size. The magnets are strong and the way it clips together there's no way it's coming off unless I was to really pinch it to unhook. Brown 42mm one looks fine on my skinny man wrists

Where do you think I can get a decent brown leather band (with gold adapter/buckle) and a black link bracelet for a 42mm watch in the UK (if its from the US then I don't want to spend loads on delivery)? Thanks in advance.

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.

Hi

Have now been wearing the Milanese loop in black all day. At first it was pulling the tiny hairs in my wrist.

Now it seems fine and I can possitively recommend it

http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/321846577694

Seller ships within EU.

cheers

UPDATE:

Two days on now _totally_ used to wearing it, 'one finger' loose if that makes sense. 100% recommend this item from the ebay seller if you are UK or EU based.

I tried with my 1:1 and it did break a link but that amount of force i used to try to pull it apart i would never see in real life situations unless i got into a fight. So wonderful now that i have one less link to use since it broke from it. I won't be doing that again I've had no issues with it for 2 weeks now.
