I don’t see a lot of leather classic buckles in this thread. My all time favorite band (that I barely ever wear) Sea Blue classic buckle on my SBSS Series 5. I swapped out the lugs for some space black ones.

Sea Blue is one of my favorites. I actually have all the classic buckles except one (Storm Gray, and I’m on the hunt) but in the past I felt weird about posting pics...however this thread seems to have really picked up lately in terms of fellow addicts so maybe I will?

It’s a BAND like a wrist band that goes on the Apple Watch not the actual Apple Watch itself the listing says BAND do you want me to refund you ?

...LOL. Is it me?!. What are the chances that she's going to send me a generic, used purple band?!

Danger danger danger abort mission!!!! I wouldn’t even want someone who spoke that way to have my money...but that aside you’re definitely about to get a fake.

I’d love to see red, white, sapphire if you have them. I’ve got almost all the non-blues now.

I don't know-- is that backwards? I forgot. I don't understand why sport loops and leather loops are opposite.

Here. As you can see, in have very small wrists, but terrible eyes, so 44mm it is. View attachment 929515

That’s technically how to wear it but I do see why you might prefer to see the loop the opposite way in your case since it wraps totally around, it’s less intrusive in your sight. It’s too bad they don’t have a smaller length loop which would make perfect sense for you. The looping all the way around would bother me. I’ve tried on Large and that’s what it basically does on my wrist here is the M Gen 1 black. Is this your first loop?

Second!

Second! I got peacock a few weeks ago. I like them a lot! Easy, comfortable, pretty.

The wrapping all the way around doesn’t bother me, but yeah, my wrist couldn’t be ANY smaller and have it fit. I’m not a tiny woman—I’m 5’10” and pretty solid, so I don’t think the 44mm looks particularly big on me. But even the M leather loop is smaller than a sport loop by about an inch, it seems. The Milanese closes all the way one me too.

I wear a large in leather loops and the end of the loop is about three links from my watch. I wear it the same way as you. I much prefer to have the edge of the leather be at the top of the watch and away form my own eyes.
 
I ordered three medium leather loops from the eBay guy in different colors. He sent me two mediums and a large. When I requested an exchange or return/rebuy, he would not honor the original price I paid (with the quantity discount), despite it being his error. I had to place a new order for the medium band at regular price. It's only about a $6 difference, but still...

That’s pretty $hitty. I had that happen to me with a cycling jacket except except they no longer had my correct size in stock and said they wouldn’t for another six months. So I just kept it and gave it to my girlfriend. Not cool when sellers mess up and make it your problem.

I rarely sell online, but when I do I try to make it the best experience possible for the buyer. That definitely sucks.

When I got my bands, I got a paper with it that said something like 380/720, which I can only assume is his order/sold items count. I guess it's pretty hard to manage so many purchases and you can sometimes mess up, but he should've just acknowledged it and replaced it at no additional cost.

Well, I guess at least you didn't have to pay return & replacement shipping?

What color was the large sent to you in error? Just curious....
 
Drat. I thought he had made a mistake when I saw it this morning. I was after one, appears gone now. Sorry he did not honor original price to fix his error. I hope you did get it in medium.

I have the large midnight blue packed up, ready to ship back to him tomorrow. I bet he'll pop it back up for sale in a few days.

Oh, I had thought it was yours he had listed. Guess I’ll have to keep an eye out, unless he listed/sold it and is waiting to get it back.... who knows. I do hope he gets your medium to you quickly.

well, just checked and he listed another large Midnight Blue leather loop. I decided to take a chance and ordered it. Fingers crossed he does send me a large one.....

If for some reason he doesn’t follow through, our good friend Chargerstore carries these in a Large 24/7 and for a bit cheaper. Just an FYI!

I got the same story here: out of ordered 3 Medium Leather Loops in 3 different colors I received the Midnight Blue in Large. Returning.

Uh oh. This is making me nervous about the midnight blue I had ordered from him. I had ordered one NIB from a local seller who then fell off the face of the earth. Then I’ve had two orders I bought from other people canceled after the fact for already being sold elsewhere. I guess I’ll find out soon if 1to3 is 3for3!
