Not on the honey gator strap. On the field drab, yes, the buckle and strap are larger, but that doesn't really bother me as I'm used to wearing straps like that and I like that style.
Got a tip for us?

Found something for you: JUUK like band including correct connectors
The seller is taking pre-orders right now with shipments beginning July 18th. Band goes for about 80 USD and is only available as 42 mm for the moment. Expect to see more link bands popping up on AliExpress in July including a "perfect" 1:1 clone somewhere in the month. That one will go for a bit more though with a current pre-sale price of about 300 USD (I am sure this will be changed before actual release) [Source: Click!]. It comes in 38 and 42 mm.
Saw this one on Amazon for the Space Gray and Space Black Adopters. In case no one has posted yet.

Posted in the 'Show off your Watch' thread, but wanted to show off the custom band i installed today. Inspired by another member in this thread somewhere. Loving the look.
on hand
And other days my 'Fade to Black' Collection
Enjoying all the leather smell. Custom Dock from Metacove still to arrive. Ebony Black.
Link for the blue strap please?
I found something like this on AliExpress and ordered it. It's been ten days and still hasn't shipped. In a previous post on this thread someone said its not an exact clone but something that looks similar with regular adapters. I only paid $36 so we'll see. But I definitely want to find an exact copy.
That person was probably me. ;-) I had it on order too but then canceled to wait for a real 1:1.
Yes, it was you. This is the post. I actually like the band. But maybe I should cancel because I definitely want to get the exact copy when it's available.
These space gray adapters just came in and the color is the closest I've seen yet. Here's the link-http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00XP...ch+adapter&dpPl=1&dpID=41SbM2RgQ7L&ref=plSrch
I am looking to pair it with a bright red band I ordered from eBay(not received yet)

If you can wait until July I guess it will be worth it. I have heard of a 1:1 clone to be released around July 10th. (Although that date should probably be taken with the usual grain of salt.) ;-)
Why do you think it is taking so long to ship? Could it be possible they are waiting for the 1:1 clone? That is what they advertised.
I'm in a similar boat. Will either store my sport band in the original Apple plastic case it came with or in a jewelry box I have.
Are those the black or gunmetal colored adapters?

I'm not sure what the reason is. I'm pretty sure you won't get a 1:1 clone for 30 USD. The band consists of about 120 precise parts that are partially mechanic. Even in China that price is not possible for a clone manufacturer without forgoing his profit margin - at least when production has just started. I think they are still waiting for the band I uploaded pictures of to finally hit the market and then you will probably get that. As for why they changed to 60 USD afterwards I don't know. Personally I think they just saw a big amount of orders and wanted to test how far they can go. In case customers complain when they don't get a real clone they can still hope to settle for 30 USD and still make a good profit. I have seen that plenty of times on AliExpress.
If you really want a high quality clone of the link bracelet I would suggest you to wait a little longer and rather cancel the order. This is all based on my personal feeling but I have been buying stuff from China for almost 10 years now and think I can sniff out those products that just seem too good to be true. Sorry for having to dampen your hopes! :-/
As for the real clone I will post once I have new info.
