Here are more images like you asked. Two notes* the color on this band is a deep gun metal even though it says black

(it's very nice) and this is the first version of these clones. The new version has a clasp more like Apples.

Overall it is a very high quality band and the price on this version is dropping daily as the supply increases and the new versions emerge.

The look of that one is nice, don't see bends or folds (not sure what we are calling them) in the band, the band links follow a nice diagonal pattern, the band ends line up straight and the mesh is uniform and shiny. SS Magnetic end looks curved too, some I've seen look more squared off.

CJ, That band looks quite good. It also looks a lot like this one from Bioage on Amazon. I wonder if it is the same? http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Z6K18HS/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=

OK , i think this looks amazing! What's the quality like ?
 
Just revived my non Apple Leather Loop.

Very happy indeed, shipping was three working days. The quality is very good. The strap is nice and comfortable and it fits in the watch better than my band adaptors.

I tried an Apple Leather Loop in store, and I have to say I don't think the leather ( if it is actually leather ) is not as soft. The upside of that is, I think this one could take getting wet better. I don't think it would absorb any water.

From what I remember the Apple version has one strong magnet on the end of the long strap, where as this one seems to have magnets all the way along.

Considering this cost £106.01 less than the Apple version, I think it's an absolute bargain. No way is the Apple version worth that much more.

The link for the strap is here http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=331607558649&globalID=EBAY-GB the seller is inkoo999.

I made a quick one minute video of the strap if anyone is interested

Just a quick post to say that I picked up a Hoco stainless steel strap for use with a SS Watch and have been very impressed by the quality of the strap and its weight etc. A bargain IMO for the £30 i paid for it.

Will compare with the real thing when i pick one of those up.

Thanks! Your video helped me make the decision to purchase one. $32 shipped to the U.S. for me. Looking forward to mine!
 
Hi folks,

I have a friend with a space black watch who wants a rubber-like band with a buckle clasp. Can anyone recommend something? Thanks.
