we need to see a ML copy that matches the Space grey. I hope it's not too difficult to match the colour.

Do you guys think click or one of these Amazon adapters will fit the pebble steel band? I think it would look great with the watch and they are really cheap at around $20 thinking about just biting the bullet and trying it

I've just bought myself one of these third party Milanese loops..

They've got them in rose gold and champagne too! Think they'd look good with a gold plated watch!

It'll take a couple of weeks to arrive mind

My main concern is that I'm not sure if those pictures are actual pictures of the product. Looks photoshopped the way the logo is on the end of the band.

Another issue is that the images appear to be magnetic like the Apple version, but it states they are made of Aluminum, so thats going to be impossible...

On that note, I wonder how a gold ML would look on a Space Gray Sport?!?

Just got today three hand made amazing bands. Much better quality than Apple's one. Here's just one of them.

Some pics of my Di-Modell band

I mount them on one of the cheap amazon mechanism. Hope to get "Made for Apple Watch" ones soon.

VERY NICE!!! Question... how do you know which band will fit the apple watch width bar/pin on the adapter? I was looking through the di-modell website I couldn't see an specifications. The band you posted appears to have a very wide hole for the pin.

Just got an email from the seller of the MyCell bands. It DID NOT ship, even though I got a shipping email. They said they were "streamlining the process" and printed shipping labels for the pre-orders. They don't even have the product yet. They'll send an update once they actually have it and it does ship. So, false alarm.

Basically we can't cancel our order because of this and they are going to take way longer that originally stated.

Great business ethics

I sent them a message and complained to Amazon multiple times. They eventually cancelled and gave me a refund. Took days of not giving up though.

I just ordered the white one from Apple instead. I'll pay the extra $25 knowing what I'm getting. That seller for the MyCell bands is super shady.

My band is 22mm wide.

I think 23mm bands could fit but its a bit of an odd size and not many bands come in that size

I just bought a 24mm leather strap and it fits nicely on the hinge of the lug, anything bigger than 24mm won't fit.

I'll be careful of using high end leather straps sized at 24 for the Apple Watch. I don't think you wanna put too much stress on the mechanism. And leather is a strong material

I say 23 is the sweet spot and 22 looks great in general.

Which adapter is this? It looks wider than the watch?

The adapter and strap you see in the photo is meant for my 42mm SGS, the 38mm watch case you see in the photo belongs to my wife! I'm still waiting for my watch which is due end May :mad:

Edit: I could fit a 24mm leather strap on my 42mm adapter, if your watch is the 38mm one ,I guess it won't fit.
