To be honest, it looks like it was set to come out in Spring 2019, but was replaced with Hyper Grape last second. The blue color on Hyper Grape is actually the same as Hyper Jade, which is pretty cool. Makes me wonder if the third accent colors on Desert Sand & Royal Pulse are also Nike branded colors!

cries in Series 1
Oh wow.....I’d have preferred the hyper jade as I’m not a purple lover at all.

It says series 2 so maybe the bracelet is oem but the gold plating certainly isn’t.
It’s definitely a custom plating (back says 316L SS) but a lot of the time these custom platings are only sold with knockoff links... for $200 it might be worth buying for the band alone!

Folks, it appears on his first night back in his studio, Colbert wore cerulean?! Wild covid rummage sale vibes. I say this because Apple always furnishes a current band for him to wear. Alaskan loop for awhile and then pride 2020 for a bit. His wife prob forgot the fresh one.


today’s morning band, light pink, which I think is actually growing on me as a “heavy” gold pair:

Heh. I’ve actually got Cerulean on right now! I really like the trippy iridescence in the light.

So, after a small setback, it is done... All retail Woven Nylon bands (plus one non-retail and one... er... 'non-existent')

View attachment 942920

Some stats: Average price paid is £19.16, cheapest was free, next cheapest was £5. 11 of them were £10 or under. Just over half are boxed, but six of those boxes are plain Demo boxes.

A 2016 Pride would give me a nice neat 12x3 rectangle, filling the shot nicely... Anyone want to sell?

Awesome collection, woven nylon is great!

This is truly outstanding! May less of them in the wild than what I recall. Especially compared to Loops. Not too difficult to collect for either price wise!

Looking elegant AF. Great poise and self possession.

When I started, the Nylons seemed like an achievable and finite goal - As they don't make them any more, I won't be splashing more cash on them every season. They are DONE.

Hope you weathered your storms okay Tox!
 
Ever get that thing where you miss the buzz of bidding on eBay Watch Bands, so you put bids in on things you don’t really want? But every now and then you actually win some of them?

I’m now the proud owner of a bundle of three Sport Loops. I don’t even collect Sport Loops, but despite that I already have one of them!

Is there much of a market for 44mm Gen 1 Red Sport Loops? I may have to sit on the 2019 Pride Loop for a bit. And as for Pink Sand... What was I thinking??

Not really. I keep an eye out for things I want/like. Right now I’m actually on a bit of a pledge that I told myself no more bands until I buy another watch. Someone (who shall remain nameless) told me my watch to band ratio is all out of wack, having 90+ bands for my series 1. I’m aiming for a S2 Ceramic next. Let’s hope I can find one for a good price!

As for the G1 RED loops... they go for about $60 in good condition.
 
Another "beauty" from Mercari just arrived.
BRB after I vomit...sorry😅

The Chronograph Pro face on WatchOS 7 is nice, I’m digging it! Oh and band of the day Nike Desert Sand/Volt Loop.
Gorgeous!
