Discounts / Sales on OEM bands

Ask to speak to their manager. When the manager answers the phone, ask to speak to their manager. Repeat this process until you have a meeting with the CEO. Once that’s arranged, demand he hand over all his watch bands. It’s foolproof!

I'm having flashbacks of the underpants gnomes from South Park for some reason...

Got my Best Buy order today. All the bands were the right models. However, the boxes on half of them were beat up, and three of them were not sealed (although they seemed unused inside). I spent an hour (on hold and chatting) with Best Buy to request open box pricing on the ones that were... you know... open. They refused and said even if they are open, they are still considered "new." Whaaaat...?

I ordered some of their bands yesterday. Their product details doesn’t seem to match the model number. Curious what was your basis in ordering?

Welcome.

I original purchased one band from Best Buy to see if the listings were true products. Upon receipt of the band, I went back and ordered two loops that I did not have in my collection. I also googled the apple part number to verify the description was correct. There are a few where the description did not match the actual product. Example, flash light description was actually teal tint.
 
I also noticed that Best Buy updated a bunch of the mystery bands with photos, Hyper Grape loop only had a part # last night, today it has a matching picture. Though it now says Sold Out. Mine has shipped so wow, thank you for the heads up on that one!

42/44 Silver Milanese loop $79 at Best Buy again.

I keep eyeballing it even though I didn't really like it too much when I owned it. Too much hassle to clean. My wrist is on the small size. Pretty sure I scratched my SS with it.

Yeah, some of the photos and/or the model #s are screwy. Teal Tint, Olive, and a few others do not match with the part number. I have yet to receive any of my orders where the part number didn't match the photo/description so I'm waiting to see what I get.

I ordered the Light Brown Leather Loop in Large from Best Buy. Got it today. Box sealed and old style with the plastic case they used to come in... Could not beat that price! Now, if they only had the Gen 1 Black and the Bright Blue......
