I, uh, may have been inspired by my new Chinese New Year to order a refurbished series 4 SS gold. I have a number of other bands with gold pins because my first couple apple watches were aluminum gold and at that time I found everything I could on eBay with gold hardware (just stone, cocoa, midnight, pink sand). I switched to silver aluminum later because of how versatile it is for my band collection, and for awhile I had series 3 in both gold and silver. This will be my first stainless steel watch! I’m curious to see how I like it. I wish series 4 had the face always on, but that single feature wasn’t worth a nearly $400 difference to get series 5.
Welcome to the club! I feel like it’s just me and @Fhotofaerie holding it down with the bronze/blush/dead sexy gold (yes I swapped for coastal gray already)
YUSSSSS gold gang! Kind of how white gold vs yellow vs rose gold jewelry looks better on people more than others, same applies to shiny watches. And I haven’t found a bunch of bands that don’t go with gold personally, they’ve all looked pretty good - to all the gold haters out there. Send me your bands you don’t think would look good, I’ll try ‘em out. 😎

Ok I’ll hit two topics at once here. The two ceramic watches with their edition sport bands (I’d love to see the white s5 and s3 compared). And antique white with gold pin...if this was the only sport band I could wear with the gold I wouldn’t be unhappy.

Damn now I want the antique white. I had told myself stone was similar enough.

I’m trying to get @Pitch to get a ceramic S2 to compare but he won’t do it. Also.. there was a white ceramic S3?

So I now have a 44mm Hyper Grape sport loop NIB that I am really hoping I can trade for a 40mm Hyper Grape loop. I was so excited to see it pop up as available that I did Buy It Now and then saw it was a 44mm, however I thought maybe someone here has an extra 40mm that I could trade it for! I’ve had a couple other offers but I really just want a Hyper Grape loop in my size, all the pics you guys have posted of it make me so jealous!
Crossing fingers someone has a 40mm they’d be willing to trade! I’d love if it were NIB as well, but if not then lightly used is ok! :D🤞

Off current chit chat topic but does anybody actually own one of these? I got one for $11 so, if I hate it, it won’t be too bad. I just feel maybe everyone disliked it, they’re not really around. “Electric Pink” is the name.

Does anyone have multiple copies of the same band and can compare their serial numbers to bands released around the same time? Now I’m curious to see if the serial numbers on bands have anything to do with the color of the band...

The white ceramic even with employee discount was an insane purchase but spread over five years, a downright steal! The gray ceramic was the same price as an S3 aluminum right now...gonna give it to my pops in year, save him from that S0 life.

@mikedop rose red of course killer on gray, wish it was the right size. And on white it perfectly illustrates a case where the color is too rich and kinda begs for a glossier or darker watch case.

I don’t know, I like it a tad more on the gray, but it works on both imo!
