Thanks for asking!


Much love for the concepts, but I meant as in something we might see as an accent on black! We got one last Fall, but we also got one in Spring... three in a row?

I’m thinking one of those crimsons. Laser crimson would look fire as the perforations with a black sport band. They’ve done pink, green, purple, yellow (pretty much). Total orange which you can find on the Concepts thread is just so dull for a black primary. I need to do a laser crimson mock-up. I think my old one was lost.

You do seem to have a track record for that recently... are you secretly seeding bands in random locations to bring on the next generation of collectors?
Hasting a nationwide treasure hunt for some exclusive prototypes sounds fun. Maybe I’ve already started planting bands? Who knows...

Laser Crimson/Black was conceptualized, but not the reverse IIRC.

I wonder if those three unreleased Nike sport bands will ever be a part of a release. I imagine we will see them eventually.
 
Oh shut up. But hey maybe you want Teal so bad, we do a tradesy? 😏 too bad I don’t have a full set, only s/m.
Consider it tasteless revenge on my part for your Celestial Teal pic. I’d rather not trade in fear of never finding it again at the price I paid, but I’ll look for one for you!

That’s what I meant by my OCD not letting me buy it. If I know it doesn’t match the rest, it would annoy me!

As for why S/M halves exist, I believe there was a very, VERY brief window in the S3 era where Apple shipped all 3 pieces. That, or it’s reserved as a replacement. Real quick, can someone with an Hermes model try contacting Apple about ordering a replacement Hermès sport band? I’d be curious to know how much that costs, and if it includes the S/M. More specifically, I wonder if they can offer you just the S/M half.

(And if you can order a replacement for $50 like @Pitch’s ceramic pin, I’ll be interested in buying it!)
They only have the pin and M/L set as replacement parts, at least for black. I have no idea how charger has an Hermes black s/m. Must be an engineering part.
 
Sadly it’s just BARELY darker than Gen 2 black. One of my biggest disappointment bands to add to the collection. Will post pictures soon when I get power again!

Northeast storm love.
Hope things have been well for you over there! A friend of mine had part of his roof smashed in, which sounds pretty expensive, especially right after a big storm when everyone’s busy fixing and cleaning the town.
