Possibly. I’m hoping he’s just slammed and wants to get through this before putting more stock up....🤞
That's possible, but he's been keeping up with me. My link bracelet and band order from last night was marked shipped today. So it seems they're somewhat staying on track. I want those Nike sport bands though! 🤞

Yeah, my link bracelet shows as pre-shipment. I hope I got one, but if he oversold and needs to cancel, I’ll understand.....

In my experience, if it gets a tracking number, he ships it. Later tonight you'll probably see a scan "Shipment received, package acceptance pending" and then around 1am an acceptance scan at the San Fran Distribution Center. However, one of my packages didn't update after "acceptance pending" until it arrived in baltimore days later.

I have 4 other bands on their way, so regardless I’m happy with my dealings with him.
Plus my other 2 possibles from you and ‘our’ agent....

Wonderful (expensive) band month so far, but I’m enjoying it.

This month has been bandtopia. I picked the perfect time to get serious about band collecting. How's your Alaskan Blue by the way?
 
I don’t know guys...

Do I order it from eBay for $70 with no returns, delivery Jul 1st?

It’s a very tough call.

I also bought a band from our mysterious eBay seller and it arrived today. Great condition, legit etc. Very pleased as I’d also purchased the Nike reflective recently for $25 and these are so close that the pricing was ideal.

Did have a “regular” black sport loop from Mercari turn out to be a bust (seller marked it shipped; the tracking never moved for 8+ days but they claimed it was delivered on their end) but thankfully Mercari canceled it for me.

Delft blue is super nice. Definitely recommend.

I got Delft from our ebay friend delivered today. Like @staggerlee41, I have a thing for blue, so trying to get them.

Is it the band from Quanh? I ordered another one from him and it was legit.

Man, Jamie you are a lifesaver. Always set my mind at ease. Yeah, from him in GA.

I bought a mystery blue band and asked the "experts" here what color they thought it was. The winning vote was ocean blue. I got my new in the box delft blue today and it is identical to the mystery/"ocean blue" I already had. The one I had is also brand new but the person I bought it from only had the s/m part and no box. M/L is more comfortable for me. So if anyone missed out on the delft and wants a delft brand new no box s/m. I have an extra to sell cheap. If you really want the box it will be a little more since postage will be more.

We should compile a list of all the known sources for OEM bands so that those of us trying to get into it know where to go to find the good deals :)
That is a great idea. A really great idea. There’s a stickies thread of third party knockoff band sellers. Maybe we should make one for known legit first party OEM sellers.

How peculiar, I was pretty set on Ocean.

Delft on left, Ocean on right. To be fair, your photo was a bit dark haha
