Here's my HOCO stainless band with my Sport. Match made in heaven. The people at the jewelry store where I had it fitted said it looks like they came together.

Anyone bought a space grey strap adapter in the UK? (from a UK source)

..every one I've seen is more a match for the SS watch not the sport.

I've got a rubber 22mm strap on my Breitling B-1 that I think would look rather smart on it.

Cheers!

My adaptor arrived today, coupled it with a standard 22mm wide strap.

Looks great on my 38mm, makes the watch appear larger than with the sports strap.

I really like the look of the modern buckle, but could'nt justify its price. So I bought an adapter and a similar leather band with a width of 20mm.
I'm pretty happy with the result:

That looks awesome -how's the quality - it looks nice in the pics just wondering what your thoughts are after wearing it.

Is it not something that you can size yourself?

I guess you can, but I've never done it before and I didn't want to mess with it and I would have rather paid $10 to a small business to do it for peace of mind and less hassle.

So far so good. It doesn't feel cheap at all. Definitely a quality product and at $60 its a steal.

Could you provide more pictures? I haven't seen any anywhere! Maybe some close ups and different angles?

Bought this one in black leather. Adapter is already attached. Shipped on the 12th and supposed to arrive some time next week via snail mail. I'll let you know how it looks.
I bought the same one for my 38mm, it's supposed to arrive today. Will report back.

What kind of band adapter?

That actually looks great, much better than I thought it'd be. Just need some matching aluminium adaptors to complete the look!

So I received the HOCO stainless steel strap today (Bought from eBay for £29.99).

Looks O...K.... (It looks like a £30 strap) BUT one major problem - one of the connectors is too long and fits terribly (the other fits perfectly, as good as Apples own!!)

Below you can see the bottom connecter (the one with the problem) is slightly longer and not as thick

Here is the look of it overall (I've positioned the connector in the best possible way to make it look good, but there is no way it sits anywhere near this good when its on your wrist - you can still see it sticking out on the bottom right corner a bit)

I finally got my watch all set up.

First I ordered this for the adapter (not a fan of leather):
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WOQ3BU4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Only one side fit into the watch. So I called Amazon, they told me to order another one, and return the defective one. I kept the good side from this kit, and when the other kit came (just now) only one of those fit as well. So I took the good adapter from each kit and am returning the second order with both bad adapters.

I already ordered this band, although I think it fits well, I think it may have been better with a 23 mm (not sure if 24 would fit, but it might). Amazon also sells a 23 mm version of this band:

Here are the pictures (hairy arms included):
