If you ask @toxtrepla nicely he might act as a middleman. Ship it to him, pay him for international shipping, and he'll send it off to you.
Happy to help if it doesn’t work with iChernov!

Yeah Mercari (and @toxtrepla) blessed me at $30 and the M/L was pictured so I knew the S/M would be mint and it was!

I nearly missed it scrolling through eBay. It was in the sponsored section, which I usually don't even look at, but I felt lucky today. Picked up a Lemonade and Delft from him. Hope they come soon!

Delft, Fog, Grey, Nectarine, Red, Spearmint, Soft White, & Canary Yellow(!!!) 38/40mm for $22.99/ea.
But the Gray one comes with silver ss pin🤔
Every Gray sport band I’ve seen here comes with sgss pin. Can anyone tell me if it is really a genuine one? 🤔

Just wanted to drop a note to @toxtrepla - thanks for the 2 bands, very happy to have them! Package got here Friday, but life sorta chucked a couple of high, tight fastballs at me. I just opened them up about 10 minutes ago! Thank you again!

Just give me Buddy Ryan green and we’re set!

Edit: my $23 nectarine loop from the SF seller has come and it is sealed. Damaged box as one expects...not opening it though.

Good to hear about the SF seller. I got 2 coming on Friday and 2 on Saturday! Thanks to everyone that posted those links to his eBay stuff. I have saved searches on there, but they do not appear to be working correctly. I would have missed out on those 4 bands without the peeps here pointing them out. Thanks again!

You got it man!! Glad you’re happy with everything.

I’ll have something else ready for you in the next week or so too....dust off the label maker.

Dude, those are awesome!!!! I think I’ll have to order some white on black label cartridges......

Maybe I also need to look into a 3D printer too. Being out of work definitely gives me spare time to create stuff...... Hmmmmmm.....

If you’re serious about hawking bands on eBay you basically have to resort to searching very broadly (“apple band,” “Apple loop,” “Apple Nike”), sort by new, and comb through it all. I used to think my “OEM” and “open box” was enough...this *will* require/lead to/inspire a new level of compulsion, yes.

I’m a little removed from the moment when I got my grays but I’m pretty sure they just kept the silver foil pin illustration...also good time to show that the gray/black s3 edition band is a little different than the much more affordable gray at hand. Not enough to warrant going out of your way to get it in addition but enough to make me feel ok about getting it with my used s3 gray ceramic. Sadly the pin doesn’t noticeably look different. Maybe it’s not ceramic? It is the M/L below left.

Hey, I have a question for you. Yesterday at the Apple Keynote, the guy responsible for Apple Watch was wearing a black watch with a green sport band. would you be able to suggest which of the greens he’s wearing? Is it Pine Green? Or Cactus?

Thank you
Simon

For sure it was Cactus. Now I want one :(
I think it was pine green, as much as logic dictates he would be rocking the 2020 band and my first thought (albeit shortly before my cactus band arrived in the mail) was that it was cactus. The lighting in the Park gym was too strange to tell, I think.

It looks so light and blue, yes, but is that just the tv lights?

Interesting. So regardless if it’s Pine or Cactus, and given that the lighting is going to make it look different than in real life, if I wanted to buy a band that looks as similar as the color in that pic, would that be more a Pine or a Cactus, in your opinion?

Thanks
Simon

Pine green would get my vote, but while I own pine green (and really like it) I don’t own cactus and have never seen it in person. There are some comparison photos if you do a search within this thread for cactus that may help you decide. Cactus seems much bluer to me than Pine.

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one who had questions about this band. I have both cactus and pine and I still thought on video the band he had looked different. Lighting is all the difference!

No scratches. Only Dirty. Any cleaning tips?

Thought it came with a black pin when bought with a watch or as a demo unit, but if bought separately it was silver, just like 2015 Black?

You don't have enough, I think you need more.
Is this better?

I don’t have boxes for all of them, only about half :(
