I think the people have spoken. No Apple Watch users here. Reissue this for normal watches and we'll be all over it.

CloacaI'm not a fan of the design, otherwise I'd think about jumping onto a Massdrop Apple Watch band drop. At the same time I've got quite a collection of bands already.
That said, you can always take off the adapters if you have a watch that takes a 22mm band.

tinyman392Although the size might work for 22 mm, I'm not thrilled with being restricted to the small/medium/large sizing on a made-to-order $99 or $85 watch band. I have ordered Vulture before, know my size, and want that exact size.
Also, these are $100 on his website in non-Apple Watch form.

CloacaThis was "disappeared" by Massdrop: After it expired with zero orders it cannot even be seen in the list of recent drops.
CloacaHave I done something to personally offend you? I do not understand your need for conjecture and spreading misinformation.
As soon as the drop starts, you post saying my website is offline (It was due to a billing error on my part with Squarespace). You then go on to say it is somehow related to Trump and Harvey Weinstein. This apparently has been amended through an edit.
Next, you begin talking about the cows from which this leather comes having a vegan diet, which is false.
Then, you claim these same straps are $100 on my website, which again, is untrue. The $100 straps on my website have pin buckles and small holes. These brushed stainless wide tongue buckles are much higher quality (more expensive) and the oval holes require more labor, not to mention the cost of the iWatch hardware.
Finally you post about this drop being "dissapeared" by massdrop insinuating some kind of conspiracy.
I have no idea what is going on here and why you feel the need to post these things. Is it supposed to be a joke? Someone with the screen name "Cloaca" comes and shits on massdrop items. That is the only thing I can think of. Could you please shed some light on it?

Nope.

Your website was offline. It remained offline a couple of days later. I checked Google. Your website was deindexed by Google. Massdrop was the first result for "Vulture Premium." The search "site:vulgturepremium.com" brought up zero results. I posted the true information that your site was offline, without further speculation as to the reason. You acknowledge here that your site was offline.

That was a joke, random ridicule of vegans. Using leather from a vegan cow would not be vegan (and cows are herbivores anyway). But a really dumb vegan might prefer leather marketed as such. That's the initial humorous premise. Then I doubled down on the joke with the incongruity of adding other dietary practices. There was a bit of implied ridicule here of the marketing copy for this particular maker's leather processing, which vaguely resembled claims for hipster food products. None of this had anything to do with your products.

Massdrop users, myself included, check up on whether the prices are genuinely cheaper than elsewhere; this is one of the most common categories of comment on Massdrop. Your website did not then and does not now list the Apple Watch version of the straps. I assumed that they would cost the same as the normal versions. I figured that the cost was mostly for the leather, and that the labor was about the same. If the cost for these is higher, I wasn't aware of that. Perhaps you should add this product to your website at whatever the retail price is, Can you see how a customer checking up on whether the retail price is legitimate could go to your website and be confused?

1. Click Watch Community a the top of the page.
2. Click Drops.
3. Click Recommended and drag down to (Sort by) Newest in the menu to the right below the masthead.
4. Scroll down to the Recent Drops section. Continue to scroll until you convince yourself that your Apple Watch strap drop is not listed there.
This is where your drop was disappeared. Of course I know that the direct link was still alive, because when I wrote the discusstion comment I had to go there to write it.
I'm assuming that due either to a deliberate user interface decision or a software bug, Massdrop does not list in their Recent Drops list drops that have had zero orders.
