Let me revise my statement, a brown leather band with black lugs that isnt $150.Nomad offer a nice brown leather band with black lugs and a buckle. I have just ordered one myself but hasn't arrived yet.

I am also after a space black link bracelt to go with my space grey sport. I saw both an eBay option:

And the aliexpress option as well and considering it but after seeing so many 4th generations with wide gaps between links I may wait.

If anyone knows of any without the gaps I'd also appriciate it

thanks. I don't mind the regular bad but some days I struggle to get it on. that may be because I put the watch on my left wrist to keep it after at work.
I am in the market for a good 4th gen 42mm black link bracelet. I have a 3rd get and whilst it is ok you can see the silver between links and its quite flimsy. The weight of it is around 70 grams when all links are on it, excluding the watch which is all that the 4th gen ones seem to be so I can imagine it will be the same flimsy sort.
Has anyone felt a genuine link bracelet? How does this compare to the 3rd and 4th gen clones?
Please share any good links to a 4th gen black...

I'm wearing the genuine Apple Space black bracelet and the watch. Got a good deal on eBay. I would never go back to third party links they're terrible I had two that broke.
To each their own, but for me, I just cannot justify $450 on a watch band. What 3rd party bands did you buy and from where? Was it a 4th gen 1:1 clone?
I tried on an Apple link bracelet and was astonished at how light it felt. Quite honestly, it felt "cheap" to me because of how light it was. My immediate reaction was, I'd never pay $450 for this. It's really nice, but maybe for a quarter of the price.
I didn't just get the Space Black link I got the Space Black SS with Link. I bought a hoco link band back in August and the adaptor piece broke. I contacted them on eBay through the seller and haven't heard anything back after they said they would contact the factory.
It should be in the original Apple box. My Milanese loop came completely sealed. Never even been open.
Finally came in, and it's a beaut! Ordered on Nov 23rd, arrived Dec 21.

Relius, looks nice!!
Are you able to weight it and post back how much it weighs in grams. I am looking for the weight of just the strap with all links. No watch or packaging...
Was this the link you ordered from:-

Space grey ceramic link bracelet to go with my SGS. Had to remove two links. (Took it to a jeweler.) Feels amazing. Looks incredible. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014R4BEH2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
Looks pretty sweet. Although that adaptor looks sketch was it the one you had to screw in before attaching it?
It doesn't- remember it's a link bracelet - the linkss shift with movement and so do the gaps
Don't have access to a scale sorry! But let me save u some money: THIS is the link:

Same link...
I looked on Amazon and the top 2 rated link bands are Moko and JETech.
Was thinking ordering the JETech ($70) instead of the one on aliepexress, should I expect a worse quality? I'd rather order from Amazon if possible
Did more research and found quite a few ads of link bracelets that can be "removed without needle" on eBay for $50 - 42mm version.
I'm guessing that's the 4th gen? Any reason for eBay to be a lower quality?
$50 seems a steal, I'd order in a heartbeat if it's same quality than aliexpress

I wanted an exact replica (without the pinholes on the side, tools or ugly butterfly). There was one on eBay but he was still more expensive. I'd be happy to share differences if you see one you like to compare.
UPDATE: 4th generation on eBay still about $10 bucks more expensive than AliExpress
That auction seems misleading. The initial photos are of the OEM Apple band. But when you select color and width (stainless steel 42mm) the photos show a band without the sizing "pads" on the links (in red in the photo below). Meaning it's not a true 1:1 replica

Has anyone found a red sport band that matches Apple's? I don't want to gamble and get a pink or orange looking "red" band.
Just ordered this one from Amazon. It arrives Thursday. I'll post pics although I believe this one was shown further back in the thread.

Got my new link bracelet today. As promised here are some pics. Initial impression is good. I love the way it looks. Now just to see how long it lasts. 38mm SS watch by the way.
I also noticed the packaging says iWatch. I cringed. Haha
