Any recommended sellers on eBay or sites for Classic buckles? Also looking for Hermès knock off leather and their orange sport band. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I have been a lurker on here for quite sometime now and have enjoyed all the awesome bands you all are using.
Was wondering if you might be able to help me find a particular band. I live in the SF Bay Area and have been looking for
bands that are in the colors of the The Giants (Orange and Black) and the Warriors (Royal Blue and Gold).
Anyone sporting bands in those team colors? My searches on Amazon and Ebay have been fruitless.

Does anyone know of a wider than usual canvas or nylon band? The one I have (Barton) is 7/8in which looks a little small on a 42mm watch. I'm looking for a band around 1in.

ClockworkSynergy has several classic NATO bands in black/orange. Haven’t seen anything close to Warriors colors though.

Does anyone know a place I can get a double tour 38mm Hermes replica band with the Hermes branding and all, I had a look on AliExpress but I can’t seem to find any with the Hermes branding?

I bought an amazing Hermès Feu Epsom knockoff from Taobao, a Chinese website similar to eBay and Amazon.

I did a full review in the thread below:
Hermès Edition Owners Thread

A few pictures attached here.

SOOOOOOOO excited! I just ordered my first SS connector band! I got the kate spade polka dot band that I have been jonesing for FOREVER... but since it has the silver stainless connectors, I couldn't get it (my own OCD issues) since I have the black and rose gold watches... (I do have a bunch of colors in the sport band.)

I ordered a brand new, shiny, SS watch so now I'm going to go absolutely CRAZY ordering bands that I haven't been able to all these years! OMG! I'g going to be a shopping monster!

I like the look of that. It looks wider than the standard 22mm (for the 42mm watch) width of most bands. I wonder what the width is?

Not sure, but it certainly looks wider than the Apple nylon straps, which is my biggest beef with those. I don’t want to pay $50 + import taxes for that strap, though..

Was looking to buy one of the Southern Straps green nylon band, but i'm struggling to find a UK supplier. Does anyone know of one, or know of a similar strap available here..? :)

Just picked up this one.

This one is 24mm wide (for the 42mm Watch) which is what I was looking for. The Southern Straps version looks to be 22mm wide like most Nato bands out there.

So im looking for some reseller that have a huge selection of loops.
Can you recommend any reseller/brand?
Im specifically looking for a really red band, but others are also interesting.
It seems like a really vivid red band is hard to find.

I’m looking for some premium leather bands. And classic. Brown and black. U$ 100 max. Any ideas?

Lucrin makes some very nice bands. I have several, and can attest to their quality. A bit more than you might want to spend, but the leather and materials are top quality. And you can choose from many different colors and contrasting stitching.
