Just got the 0,5:1 clone in the mail.
It's the same one as reviewd a couple of pages back, same seller.
And it's damned impressive, the closere of the band is differend but all the rest is spot on.
Links are the same size, finish on the SS is the same, the Adapter that goes on the watch is exacly the same (No GAP!!!!!
)
Highly reccomended to buy this one from this AliExpress seller!

It looks so great! grats with the nice link bracelet
I got the AW space grey and thinking about buying this link bracelet in black from the same seller. Anyone purchased the black version from this seller? I would really like to see some pictures of it.

I was wondering how the clasp was feeling? Does it no hurt a bit or feel a bit uncomfortable? thanks!
I am wearing one now and it is my smartest looking strap and I wear it everyday the whole day. I have been wearing it for one week now and it feels very very comfortable.

Can you please remind me the aliexpress seller?
Looks a bit sketchy indeed. still having the "butterfly" locking mechanism but also a original look outside of the locking mechanism. Looks like we can expect real 1:1 replicas soon tho.
That's pretty nice. Thx for sharing.
I know it'd block the sensors, but I'd love to have two of the loop side adapters for nato bands.
Nice! I just ordered a black link bracelet from eBay as well. Looking forward to see the quality of the bracelet. I'll post some pictures in here when I receive the item.

I got the OEM SS Link Bracelet & I'd like to buy the non-OEM Black Link. I'm wondering if the replica uses DLC treatment or if it is just using a dye..
It's not my first butterfly clasp band, had the, before on other watches, never been uncomfortable in any way.
The clasp is "round" so it follows the curve of your wrist.
(See picture).
Looks great and when it's on my wrist there is no way you can see it's not the real one, you must turn your wrist to see that.
Yeah no problem.
There is a lot of diversity in quality. This alieexpress seller got the best around. No gaps on connector side, same finish, SS, etc.

Seems cheap, and I see gaps.
Waiting for the 1:1 clone of better quality will be the better option if you would like the 100% original look.
eBay user partswowdotcom, has some really great sports bands available. Purchased white and blue. Look and feel identical, almost....but a good value! And built in latch mechanism also!
Might I add order the loop from Inko as well, was impressed by everyone sharing their purchase so thanks all!

Got a special treat from the Utica seller today, I've been in close contact with him for a while now. Sent me these pictures this morning. This is the 0.90:1 clone with the butterfly clasp looking like the apple one but uses a different locking mechanism.
The bands are on their way to him from China via DHL overnight, 50 in the initial shipment. Another 100 will arrive next week for any additional orders. I am securing a discount for macrumors members so stay tuned. It appears in initial talks he is considering selling at cost, so to avoid any possible undercutting. (Like inko88 seller and the Milanese band well below what Utica guy is selling but its the same product). Also if anyone is still interested in Milanese loops i should be able to secure a lower price than inko88. Thanks to Richard!
I will have a review model of the steel link bracelet in hand by Monday hopefully.
For now here are pictures of how to resize the band.
