Just got a brown leather loop from cex. Hadn't see the brown leather loop in person and only pictures and it looked nice in photos but I'm not 100% now I've got it.
Thought it was more khaki in pictures but looks more like something you'd find in a toilet in real life
That actually looks green, and looks really nice! Far from toiletries!
I bought one from eBay. It looks like the same band. Mine was $55 but I wasn't totally happy they let me keep it for $27 she. I was asking to return. I didn't realize at the time that it's actually almost a 1:1 clone and the link spacing is like that on the authentic which is unforgivable for a bracelet that costs so much. You're right it's incredibly dear ridiculously so. That should be the price of a leather loop which should behalf the price they are.
Got this one from amazon... So far no bad, still don't understand how apple can price this 620€... An omega genuine bracelet for speedmaster is priced cheaper at 450€!
I believe there's going to be a massive adjustment or a ton of new bands at the $50 range.
I am especially interested in your impression of Moko's black ML. I want to order a third party black ML but keep reading that they look cheap and are just painted black so it would start chipping over time. The other Moko bands look nice so I'm hoping the ML will be, as well. Thanks!
Just got my Black Moko ML for my SG AW, I must say that that it feels great! Now it is slightly thinner the the original ML but for $23 you just can complain. Only been wearing it for an hour and only time will tell how well it holds up.
Can you say where you ordered the Space Black Milanese Loop and how good it is, like the quality and how good the magnet is when wearing it?
All bands except the leather one are Moko brand off of Amazon. The quality is very good on all of them. Magnet is strong as well. I'd recommend them if you're in the market and looking to save a few bucks.
I received mine as well. So far so good. The magnet seems very strong. I've been wearing it for about a day. I agree, it feels a little thin but it doesn't bother me at all.

I ended up giving my SG to my wife, got me a space black watch
I'm here to let everyone know that Sport bands that are not from Apple will eventually turn into a plasticy rubbery looking joke.
They will not keep the "dry" matte finish for more than 2 week.. It'll end up a fake rubbery "wet" look.
I've purchased many off eBay/Amazon, it happens to all of them.
So the fluemaster or whatever Apple calls it is worth it! $50 tho
I just paid $90 for this:

Yes, it's 3rd party since my watch is the 38mm model. I got it on Ebay for £12,99 so really a no-brainer even if there was a genuine one for the 38mm. I had a chance to try the genuine one and the difference is only in terms of the feel, visually it's pretty much identical.
Do you have a link to the seller? A colleague has been after something like this.
Just got these delivered today. Moko white and fog bands. Their midnight blue was nice enough so I got these too. Gonna put the fog on later and see how it looks with space grey.
Here is their midnight blue
My latest band is the yellow band from Apple. Also have the lime green, red, walnut, fog, midnight blue and the black that it came with.

Whilst I like the look of some of the third party bands on here, I don't feel that its necessary to buy third party sport bands as the original ones from Apple are relatively cheap anyway IMHO.
Additionally, the look of this, would drive my OCD insane:
....you can clearly see that the ends don't quite fit into the watch, like an original band would. Its this small attention to detail, which I feel makes the Apple bands far more superior.
Yes, it was this exact listing. The seller claims to be based in China, however, it appears he ships from London.

You think it would be worth it and possible to trim them without making it look butchered? I would give it a shot of I knew I wouldn't ruin the band.
