Clone of Hermes 'cuff' band?

I was thinking the same thing... I would have destroyed it.
My uncle owns a company that makes leather gloves. They have huge cutters that look like cookie cutters to cut out the patterns that get sewn together. Though I would like to know what that person used in this thread.
My husband first drew the hole using an ⌚️ cover/protector for the exact size. He then used a tool called a "punch" (it may have a more technical name) and punched holes around perimeter of drawn hole. (See pix below for punch & ⌚️ cover.) After the entire hole was punched out, he used a Dremel tool to "sand" the hole area smooth. It didn't take but about 15 minutes from start to finish. I hope this makes sense!
Thank you! 😀 I just received the same brown strap that you ordered and it looks great. I love the look of it even though it is slightly chunky looking on my wrist. I really wanted something similar to the Hermes Cuff. I didn't go for the other one you linked as I liked the curvy look and I'm glad I went for that one 🙂 luckily the punch tool you showed I found one in the loft so will be cutting the hole out later. Wish me luck 😛 haha 😀
Not sure if anyone is still interested but there are clones up on ebay now.

This seller does. You need to include a separate note to him requesting the color you prefer. He also sells on AliExpress - that's how I discovered this. I wrote him & he responded that I could get the adapter in the color I preferred.

Even if they don't, just order the correct colour adapters and change them yourself.

I ordered this for 21 bucks US - from an ebay reseller in the US - took one week to receive and it looks better than I thought it would - little more difficult to put on than my link bracelet or sports band but I'm sure I will get the hang of it soon. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cuff-Leathe...h-Bands-For-Apple-Watch-iWatch-/321915917991? looks like he has reduced the price a little - I got black but he has red, orange, and blue. I think i will be ordering a red one soon.

Pad & Quill have just announced a new cuff, in a variety of colours too.

I ordered a deployment clasp to add it to - hoping that will make it easier to get on/off and allow me to keep it tight. I wore it pretty much all day on Sunday but had an issue with it locking a couple of times. I'm hoping by adding the deployment clasp (should arrive from Amazon tomorrow) it will stay tight. I will keep you all updated - plus that makes it look closer to the actual Hermes version.

Yup looks really nice, I just ordered the Chestnut color, looking forward to getting mine ! Pad and Quill Quality leather reputation, the soft leather back and the nicely done stitching made me pull the trigger on this one !
I've ordered this and should have it tomorrow. I don't expect it to be anywhere near the quality of the bands on the Hermes Apple watches but hope it's of decent quality none the less. Most of the pictures used on the Amazon page are for the real Hermes watch by the looks of it although the picture of the bands the packaging make them look pretty good.

Greetings,
Pad and Quill will be making their Lowry Cuff for the 38 MM AW available in a few months - http://www.padandquill.com/lowry-leather-cuff-for-apple-watch.html. I emailed customer service and told them I really hope they release a 38 MM version and they confirmed it's in the works. The leather cuff I got from eBay is just too big and the watch locks. I've given up on wearing it. The Lowry Cuff for the 42 MM version is for small wrists - starts out at 125MM - 150 MM. I'm hoping the 38 MM will be the same length or smaller.
Cheers,
Bobbie
