Royal Mail better not lose my Ultra Violet, I'll not be a happy bunny!
Don't worry, that happened on my last two Chargerstore orders. I think it does mean you're more likely to get stung for VAT and the flat rate charge though. :(

Isn’t the dark gray titanium edition actually a shade lighter than the gray? I used to have both and it looked lighter

Ha! I actually just noticed this for myself last night, when I switched to my "overnight" S3 watch, on which I have an old Gray band. The "Dark Gray" is in fact a bit lighter.

I guess it's DINO.
 
How does a guy go about getting eBay coupons? I hear about people using them all the time, but I've never received any.

These eBay coupons never worked for me, until this $25 one. Bought a Khaki Nike sport loop (the single color) one for $19 brand new from one of the sellers that people were mentioning on the discount thread. I have no Khaki colored bands at all and thought this will be a good one to add to collection! The Khaki pics looked very nice from what I could search.
 
Does anyone remember the last time they went to the actual MacRumors landing page and consumed news and info about non-watch Apple products? I don’t...

Finally got to see the refurb watch I sent my mom at the start of quarantine and what the cosmos blue looks like irl the other day...as recent forum posts have attested, it’s a stunner. And, yes, the clothing coordination and hand-cup are clearly hereditary.

So nice! i love classic buckles and waiting for a cosmos to arrive also in the mail! Thanks for sharing :)
 
My Royal Pulse arrived! The seller had terrible feedback but it’s legit, woohoo!

This looks so awesome. I didn’t think I’d be a fan of this band with me not being a fan of purple hues, but it looks so good in some of your guy’s pics! Do we think Apple will stop stocking this one soon? 😬. Tempted to jump on it.
 
Just need to list the bands I have on the way because I’ve already lost track.

- Red Raspberry
- Pomegranate
- Turquoise
- Seashell SL
- Meyer Lemon LL
- Khaki Sport Band
- Sapphire Classic Buckle
- Black/White Nike+

Gonna need to sell a few before next week’s fall bands come out..

Did you get the 44mm ultra violet? It’s still in my eBay watch list as available.
 
Happened upon these pics from an arrogant and immature guy on Instagram. (then again, isn’t that just what Instagram is?) Pretty cool setup.

(those are IKEA shelves and drawer organizers, essentially just a bigger version of my own setup!)
Which blue band do you guys think that is in the front middle? I guess Surf Blue?

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.
Shipment from Chargerstore arrived today along with a solid Midnight blue I picked up from a different seller in the US. Comparison shots below. My goal is to only keep one solid and one stripe (though the stripe is going to be hard to choose).

Solids
Easy choice here for me. Midnight blue doesn’t have enough contrast with my SBSS watch. In dim lighting it looks almost identical to the solid black band I already have (and the buckle on the black band matches my watch). In bright light, the more reflective threads kind of take over and you can’t really tell what color the band is. Those reflective threads are one thing I don’t like about the solid woven nylons in general. Tahoe is the clear keeper for me here.

Stripes
Much tougher call here. The Tahoe tends to look more saturated in pictures than it actually is in person. You basically can’t tell that one of the stripes is black and the other is navy blue unless you are in bright light. The stripes as whole blend better on the Tahoe than on the Midnight. From farther away, the Tahoe reads as a dusty sky blue, whereas the Midnight has more defined blue and black stripes. The Tahoe is clearly lighter and definitely the more vibrant in bright light. Midnight’s more subdued colors might make it more versatile, though the pattern might be too similar to the black stripe band (and the color too similar to the solid Tahoe band). Not sure which one I am going to keep here. I like them both in different ways!
