For everyone who yoinked the $20 sapphire classic buckle deal, I’m pulling for OEM! Here’s a 38mm I grabbed recently. (Can’t wait to hear if the $20 is the real deal)

Yes, it was sattiltd. When I messaged him or her asking for a partial refund since it was lemonade and not pollen (the listing says lemonade now but said pollen when I bought it) they said they sold me a pollen and only changed the listing after I bought it. Then I sent them a pic showing it matches lemonade and they said all the yellows look the same. 🤣 So I sent them another pic of the band next to every other yellow except the missing pollen to show that it only matches lemonade and they begrudgingly accepted a return for a refund but since the band is not at my friend’s delivery address in London I would have to pay for return shipping, which would be a wash. It really annoys me when sellers try to give you the run around when you catch them in a mistake and now it’s even worse as it seems this guy had full prior awareness this wasn’t the color it was being sold as.

I think he changed the listing after I contacted him about the same issue on 14th August. Rather than a return (my wife had Lemonade but I didn’t), I got him to cut me a deal on a boxed Pollen he had, which turned out to be the real deal.

The main reason I hadn’t bought from him before is that he clearly doesn’t know what half of the colours are! He had a few ‘Dark Pink’ bands for a while, which could have been Rose Red, but I didn’t want to take the risk...

It’s funny how it cuts both ways. If a band is one that is rare and fairly easy to eyeball, the seller who doesn’t know the name won’t know the value and you score big time...the flip side with a band that has a lot of cousins is all this anxiety and agony :/

My orange stripe woven nylon came in today and...it’s just not for me. I knew it was going to be bright but I had thought the band would be orange and blue (this picture convinced me to pull the trigger). In person though, the band is much more pink and purple. It’s nice looking but not really my style. I didn’t even buckle the band as I am almost certain I will be reselling it.

A bit bummed as this is the first time I haven’t liked a woven nylon that I have bought. Hoping I like the blue stripe bands I got from Chargerstore better when they arrive in the next week or so.

I had the same let down w the midnight blue stripe woven nylon...real life was much lighter than in pics. Is that the one you ordered? Maybe it was just me though. The Tahoe stripe woven nylon appeared to be possibly the better blue but I’ve never tried that one. Regarding this orange stripe, You can probably resell it for reasonable price, it looks like a combo of colors that would interest someone who likes bright bands.

Yeah it’s so interesting how sometimes a band will look completely different in pictures vs what you see in person. It’s kind of a given for Apple’s hero shots but it’s pretty rare that user photos look that different from the reality of the band. I don’t know what the person who took the photo I linked to did to make those stripes look so blue!

I ended up ordering both the Midnight and Tahoe stripes and will probably only keep one. I suspect you’re right that it will be the Tahoe but only time will tell 🙂

To follow up on our picayune discussion from yesterday as we suss out the white ceramic’s best pairs...I think antique white just doesn’t have the vibrancy to work with it in the way that mellow yellow does—out in the sun. For a dusty ice cream look, I much prefer pink sand1, pictured here installed on the bottom of the watch. @Pitch is right that antique looks good in shade/indoors...

oh nice! Then pls share pics of both Tahoe and mn blue once you get them! 😁 I’ve been considering picking up Tahoe stripe if it’s more attractive than the midnight blue stripe which I did not like much.

Will do! They cleared US customs today so hopefully should be here in the next week or so.
