Recently the bottleneck has been when it’s at the final Distro Center for 5-6 days instead of 1...weirdly I have one stuck there that was leapfrogged by a later Chargerstore package!
Got a tip for us?

Im glad you liked it!!
Another topic.
Regarding to the Hermes bands. Im still in the look for the Étoupe Single Tour Swift Leather 42/44mm. In case anyone knows.
I have 2 questions:
1. does anybody know what's the difference between the Swift and the Bárenia Leather?
I already have 2 colors, Fauve and Ébène, and they both are Bárenia Leather, and I like Étoupe cause it looks the same style. Does anyone have pics comparing those types of leather?
2. Do you know if is possible to change the buckle of the Hermes band? both of my bands are deployment buckle, and I like it cause it helps maintaining the band like new. But the Étoupe only comes with the regular stainless steel buckle. Would it be possible to replace it with an HERMES ORIGINAL deployment buckle?
I attach the pics.
Thank you very much, regards!

1. Swift feels softer and retains that color versus taking on the patina. The link pretty much sums it up. When you run your finger along it, it doesn’t have the resiny friction of your barenias, and it makes a pleasant brushing sound. Tbh the ebene is very swifty, I guess because they have to dye it (Picture 1, swift in the middle)
2. If you can find the right artisan (near Paris?) and the bravery, it seems like you should be able to pull off the switch. The short bands (Pictures 2, 3) seem interchangeable.
My etaupe comes Friday midday United States! Stay tuned! Hopefully I still have an account then.

😮😮 where did you find your Étoupe?I’m still looking🙏🏻
Thanks for the explanation.
so I'm circling back around to some loops I've missed after feeling pretty good about my bands.
is anyone still able to get the following anywhere?
Spearmint Sport Loop, both sizes
Cerulean Sport Loop, both sizes
and just for fun... Flash Sport Loop, both sizes
any help is appreciated guys!
ALSO, I still have a 44mm Smokey Mauve Sport Loop sealed if anyone is interested

I paid $109 for mine last month from ChargerStore.
I would say $100 is the normal accepted price. I paid $70 for mine, but it was an anomal. Anything below $100 is a great deal and anything above that shout be BRAND NEW or even sealed.
I've been looking for the Beryl and the the Desert Sand/Black Nike sport bands for a few months now. They have been sold out on Apple for a good couple of months. Finally found both on the Apple website yesterday! Anyone have a pic of what the Midnight Turquoise/Aurora Green looks like on a Gold SS?
I thought it was typically higher... didn't think it was that much though.
Found one on jd.com (I live in China) on an Apple Reseller store... so if it's not genuine, sealed and in box I can send it back. But for $25 it's hard to pass up 🥳
That band I’ve been writing off as looking like “Spongebob bubbles”...so no sorry
Just eBay...I swear to god I get special early access to bands by searching “Apple herms”...not that those bands sell out quick.
There’s been one available for not too far off retail (my rule is the discount has to be around 140-150 off or 200 for the crazy ones) but it appears to not have any rips or creases, 42mm as well.
Also I think the postal service is lying about mine arriving Friday...

The leather features a fine grain which is incredibly soft to touch and has the ability to reflect light while absorbing dye like few other leathers on the market. The softness of leather does make it prone to scratches, however, small scratches are easily removed by a gentle swipe of your fingers.

Reporting this to the mods, we only use approved Nike colorways here. It’s “every Apple Watch band” not “we know better than the color scientists at Nike”
Um...atom ice/cthulhu mauvine

huh.
Now I wonder if they just found some old stock somewhere or if the fall colors are actually back in production? Is this the most colors Apple has ever offered at once?
It certainly is the most bands Apple has ever offered at once. Normally the Fall bands would be long gone by now. I mean, we are only 4ish months from new Fall bands at this point.
I wonder if all the "newly re-released" bands are bands that the retail stores had just sitting on the shelves during the shutdown? And they just sent back to make room for all the newer bands.

Yeah, my guess is old stock. They’re still discontinued. Same way some of our overseas friends are finding discontinued bands in their countries.

Crazy! I guess Apple just wants to get rid of them. Can’t imagine how busy the internal discount site is about now.
