Saturday night, he raised the price but I heard nothing about the offer. I figured for $9 more I'll just get it from NY, quicker and good service. Hopefully the same quality

This was the one I got and returned from the Utica Guy. Someone else stated it might've been a production run error but who knows. The band wasn't the same width as the lug and just looked plain odd. It also unraveled which I didn't like.

I wouldn't have an issue ordering another from him. It was very easy to return to him and he refunded me the moment he received it.

Hoping better from Inko's, which will be here in a day or two.

To those that may be considering buying from Utica Guy Freedomoclock 09 on eBay for the ML.
I got this message from him since I bought one to try it out.
He mentions they are considering not selling it anymore because of production problems with the 38mm and quality issues. However on a different email he reiterated the issue extends to the 38mm alone.

I did it the other day (Friday) and he accept my $30 offer.
He actually just accepted my offer for $30 and I paid him. I'm very excited. I bought the red leather loop from Amazon for $49 with Prime. Though I'm having second thoughts that I should have purchased from the Utica guy.
 
Did yours come with 2 straps? S/M and M/L. I ordered this and it only came with the S/M and so it doesn't fit. I will have to return it. He offered to take $3 off and let me keep the band, but for me it will never be worn. I liked the look, fit and feel of the band. Just wish it had fit my wrist. 190mm wrist, and way too small.
No, mine only came with 1 size (it's longer than my OEM s/m but shorter then the m/l.
 
So, what would be the best fake leather loop to get ? That ships to canada ?

Is inkoo888 a good seller ?

You WILL get the loop, but some people are having shipping take a little longer than expected. It will occur within the shipping window on eBay. I have ordered from him 3 different times.

I remember this now, hoping this is resolved as it doesn't appear in the pics. If so I'll just return it.

My final day too, Wed. July 29- Mon Aug 3. Only update so far is that is left the shipping facility in Auburn, WA. on July 30. Still says Pre-Shipment.

Actually I guess not. All the eBay bands I've gotten are 1 strap s/m sized.

Ugh. Mail came today and no ML from Inkoo888. This is annoying. Last day of eBay shipping window; hopefully it will come tomorrow.
Before I posted this, I just refreshed the USPS tracking page and it says it has arrived at the local post office. So looks like I'll be getting it tomorrow.

If you 're Canadian and order from Inkoo888, then it ships from China. I ordered a Milanese Loop, and it departed china last week, but still has not landed in Canada.

Mine is pretty confusing. It said it departed Secaucus, NJ on August 1st. Today I checked, it still says departed, but now it added, today, August 3rd Pre shipment Info sent to USPS. The kicker. It says it is in my town right now. Either I will get it tomorrow or my Leather Loop will end up in another part of the country.

Mine said "departed shipping partner facility" on July 31st. Just like yours, mine said Pre shipment info sent to usps on August 3rd. And also just like yours, mine is in my town now as well. I guess we will be receiving ours tomorrow!

Exact same as me, finally arrived in Denver, out for delivery tomorrow.
 
Waiting for new stuff is one thing but waiting for new stuff and being able to track it is in another ball park.

My Links Bracelet 0,5:1 clone is on his way with DHL and i still keep tracking it. And it's just a band :)
 
I got my blue LL from inkoo888 today. I really like it. Not much to add that hasn't already been said. It's a no brainier for me for $35 vs. $150. The shipping with him is a bit wonky, but it got here a day before the estimated date so I have nothing bad to say.
