I just received the "Caitlin 2" Gunny Strap from Panatime.com. Fantastic quality, and I love the distressed look of the leather. Using Luvvitt adapters.
Got a tip for us?

PM me if interested.
Hey guys. I bought the 5 pointer band from Hoco and while I absolutely love it, the seller messed up and sent me a 42mm one without the tool so now I'm just getting rid of it because there's no point waiting for it to arrive in China to get a full refund.
I have another two bracelets that I don't need too. If you're interested PM me.
Thanks!
Where did you get that dark Milanese loop please? Does it come with the mechanism to slide on the watch? I may get one for my 42 mm SG sport.
No. Sadly it doesn't have adapters with pins and but it has a folding clasp and it is 24mm in size.
This is where I bought it from and the seller is awesome. Shipped fairly quick considering its coming from the UK.
I paid about $20 for it but since I don't have adapters and now I have a SS watch instead of the SGS, I don't have use for it. I'm selling all 3 bracelets for a great price if interested.

Much appreciated, thank you.
Quite puzzled with sizes. For 150-160mm wrist what kind of band size would do?
They are adjustable. Get the 24mm (width, not length) for 42mm AW and 22mm for the 38mm AW.
Just recieved my 'fake' 38mm leather loop. It came from an eBay seller who shipped it from within the UK. It states it is genuine leather, but I'm not sure. It has a really plasticy feel and smell to it. Not sure how to test it without destroying it. Magnets seem good, it takes a reasonable amount to force to 'flick it' open. It came from seller lancini1985.

I think this is just a product mock up to advertise the case. I would lOVE it if a company was making this band. I have a 42 mm and would pay decent $$ for a modern buckle in my size.Does anyone have an extra green Sports Band they don't need they want to swap with a Large white one that came with my SS?PM me if interested.
Hey everyone! Has anyone seen this band anywhere? If you have would you care to share a link for it?!
Thanks in advance.
Meant to reply to this thread
This is the link I found, but seems to lead to Amazon....then nowhere:

Just got the Clockwork Synergy black leather band. Had a small problem when I got it.
Figured it out, but still, not much in the way of craftsmanship when the lug is too snug for the leather cut out that it misses the bar link to keep it in until the customer gets it.
Other the other side, the black looks really good with the SB case. The holes are spaced a bit far apart so Im trying to stretch the leather so it fits better, and the strap is a bit creeky.

That's interesting material to work with. Thanks for the link. In general I like bands with some texture or pattern in the material feeling it makes them more interesting to look at. I really like the look of the long raised lines along the strap length. The only thing that bothers me about the overall look is the holes in the side. I would probably buy if they had filled them in and sealed the ends like they do on leather bands. From the closeup pics on their site to me it looks unfinished and shaggy.

Thanks for sharing... I went with a two tone black band with them and they shipped it out quickly, got it in less than a week.So happy I found a quality stainless steel band after trying a cheap hoco
Here is the sellers page - they have plenty of bands - my search for a stainless band is over

Finally got my adapters. From Watch Shoppe. The quality is amazing. Fitting is perfect and no movement at all like the OEM Apple ones. The strap is from combat straps, I've been wearing for over 3 years now.
Does anyone here know what band this is?
I hope someone knows. This is beautiful and I would totally rock it.
