I ended up going ahead with the suggestion and the correct band did arrive today, really fast shipping, only a week or so! However the 42mm was also shipped separately and I was contacted as soon as both were shipped. I have messaged them back asking what they would like me to do with the extra band, if they want me to ship it back return to sender. It was the Nike Teal Tint/Tropical Twist.
Got a tip for us?

If you’re in the US, chances are the return label just does to the distribution warehouse he has them sent to. I don’t think there’s a true way to return it without him sending you a return label.
I am having watch band anxiety today. Trying to explain this in an organized way:
1. During the last Best Buy sale, I bought olive flak SL, and I LOVED it with my SSG, and then realized they had made a mistake and sent me 40mm. And by then they were out of 44mm, which I had ordered in the first place. At the time, the only one I could find was charger store, so I bought it, even though it was like 59.
2. I order CYR sport loop from a guy in Canada on eBay for a good price but still hella expensive.
3. I went away for a week and did my usual USPS mail hold.
4. Of course, olive flak arrived the day I left. And it showed in tracking as delivered to my front porch, despite the mail hold, but I wasn't too worried, because stuff shows up weird with the mail hold sometimes. Like it shows delivered when it has really just been delivered to my post office that is holding my mail.
5. So, I got home Monday night, and olive flak wasn't here, nor was my mail from the last week, even though it should have been.
6. Yesterday, CYL showed out for delivery. I was expecting it along with all my other mail from the mail hold. All I got was a single envelope of unrelated mail. No bands, no week's worth of mail.
7. At 1:10 this morning, the tracing for CYL shows "awaiting delivery scan."
8. Today, all I get in the mail is a Target box and a couple Amazon boxes (and I think we get two deliveries a day here-- boxes and a separate person brings stuff that fits in the mailbox). Nothing in my mailbox. No update to the CYL tracking.
Where the hell is my mail and my two expensive watch bands?

Sounds like Olive was stolen. CYR is probably sitting on a local truck forgotten in the back. They’ll find it and deliver it within a month I’m sure.
Best case scenario both bands are still with the rest of your hold mail. Have you gone to your PO and asked about it?
I am in Australia so will be interesting what they want me to do.
Hey @DoubleFlyaway, I think Coty here stole your loop.
Another Reddit pic. Clementine this time. This one convinced me to try one on eBay, but that seller sent me a Flamingo. Returned it and been looking for a good priced Clementine ever since. Finally found one on Mercari for $25.
Reminds me of a “Safety Orange”. Can’t wait for mine!
Can someone take a pic of Clementine next to Flash & White? Just to complete the safety vest look.

I’ve been monitoring Facebook Market for a while and finally I found something worth it, so I met the sellers today and got Blue Horizon and Original Green. I had no idea that boxes for original bands were smaller.
100% agreed!The neon lime is great - I just wish it had that dark blue color all the way around, as I think it makes a nice contrast to the neon lime green edges. But, still one of my favorites
It looks just perfect with the gold finish watch!🔥
👍
The real answer is:
Dragon Fruit, Raspberry Red, Papaya, Mellow Yellow, Marine Green, Lilac
Pomegranate, Red, Nectarine, Canary Yellow, Spearmint, Surf Blue
You're too quick-I was about to post my guesses! I got 4 wrong anyways Lol... I thought one of the orange bands was a Hermes
If your Olive Flak never shows up I have 1 extra box from that Best Buy sale at cost.
Space Black stainless steel 40mm S4 with the Space Black stainless steel link bracelet.
super clean.
super clean.
Booooo... My S3 Ceramic is missing the S/M band piece. Called Apple - looks like they don't have the 42mm Soft White/Pebble in stock any more and they won't let me have an S5 Soft White without an S5 Serial, which seems a bit harsh. I suppose it was a long shot for a 3 year old watch...
I've asked everybody's buddy at Chargerstore whether he can source/sell 'parts', but I'm not holding out much hope.

I have no bands coming. None. I feel like I need to wait for the fall band release, but also feel like I NEED original green. Sidenote, I dislike pink sand. I hate that it was listed as gold pin, and I'm too stupid to zoom in and see that it is in fact rose gold, not gold gold. So basically, I'm mad that I'm stupid. LOL
Awesome shots. Thanks for my daily reminder to wear Horizon. It’s been a while.
I had the same thought, but there’s at least 3 of us who use those same drawers, so I’m not too sure. Could be any one of us...That storage drawers case looks so familiar
I’m sure if you pressure Apple enough, they’ll be able to get you something. I’m going to see if I can get an affordable Soft White from them when I get my S2 Ceramic. My Cloud band looked a bit dirty in the pics, but at least it had the S/M piece.

Thanks for reminding me, I should be saving up for the fall releases!
I keep telling myself that, but I also know I lie. So... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ LOL
Well, it’s better to plan for it rather than for fall bands to come and you drop $350 in one hour only to then realize you can’t really afford it.
