Yeah they’re surprisingly hard to come by. It’s kind of weird because it was offered for 2 seasons just like the Navy/Tahoe Blue band. Yet, the Navy/Tahoe is way more common. The midnight must not have been a very popular color. Maybe it’s because it debuted at the same time as the stripe bands and they ended up getting all the attention.
very nice! I prefer Tahoe blue solid and Tahoe blue stripe...unless you like the nearly black look of the MN blue solid. I suspect that pic of the MN blue stripe is making it look darker in pics. MN blue stripe When I had it for a brief time was much lighter in color than any pics I had seen before. I prefer the more grey presence seen in the Tahoe Stripe back.
...and just like that I also received my cosmos blue leather in the mail today and I really like it also! Being a fan of Teal colors, wanted to share this 😁

Yeah I think Apple really erred by calling the Midnight Blue stripe band “Midnight Blue”. That name makes you think the band is going to be much darker than it actually is. Only the lugs and the edges of the band are really Midnight Blue. The main blue stripes are closer in color to the solid Tahoe band than they are to a true midnight blue. I think Apple would have been better off branding the Midnight Blue stripe as a “Navy/Tahoe Blue stripe” and then calling the existing Tahoe stripe band something like “Sky Blue stripe”. But then, that might be too much time thinking about the names of AW bands that haven’t been sold in 3 years!
Oh wow. That red background really makes it pop up!

Ha, yea, if I only had a teal colored mat, would have used that as background 😁

Yep i agree, 100%! That MN blue stripe band should have been called Tahoe, its much lighter than what a midnight blue band suggests. I like “Sky blue stripe“ for the other too, makes total sense. The connector color and the edges are certainly the only MN blue elements I see on the MN blue stripe band.
This was a comparison I was waiting to see for some time since I sold my MN blue stripe band and Was always curious about the Tahoe blue stripe. Curious to see which ones you decide to keep! 👍🏾
It makes me want to find a celestial teal in 40mm for me.
Now that I am retired, I don’t wear a lot of my bands anymore. Especially since we are stuck at home nowadays. Thought someone else might enjoy them.
If you like the teal color, you really should. Celestial is a great band, more eye catching than the other darker teals above even. the 40mm band goes up frequently on ebay, Mercari, would highly recommend!
Me too! Red woven nylon isn’t something you see often.

Honestly the weight is far from an issue. You’ll notice that the SS has a little more heft to it for like 24 hours. Very light watch either way.

Blue hor/cobalt - look the same to me
Surf: not the best pic showing ss
the infamous $20 Sapphire Classic Buckle from the discounts thread arrived.

Dang that looks sharp! I wish I didn’t dislike the square buckle of the later classic buckles so much or I would have been all over this one!
I think so...Pink Blast's already gone. Royal pulse still showing in 44mm only

Inspired by my inspiration for @mikedop earlier today: a little cool gray with gunsmoke Nikes (limelight tank, which is one of the fifty limes that could succeed lime blast on the bands next week)
I think I’ve missed some posts since I was last here, deciding if I was on a break or left for good. Due to encouragement not least from @mikedop I decided to post again - so blame him.
I think my wife and I probably picked up around 30-35 bands since my last post, but most were just making their way down here after being ordered months ago. I did have a bit of a win at the weekend however, which is really why I’m posting right now.
I scored an almost pristine S2 Hermes 44mm with a Fauve Barenia, Feu Epsom, (another) Hermes Orange SB, black Classic Buckle, Midnight Blue Nylon Buckle, silver Milanese Loop and 4 sport loops (plus 4 third party bands, but let’s not mention those). Not as big a bargain as some of you US peeps can score, but NZ$850 (about US$565) for the lot. Most look literally unworn and it dovetails nicely with my previous bands with only the Hermes SB as a double. I’ll sell that, likely with the watch.
So my questions are; I think the Milanese is genuine as it looks the same my wife’s 38mm one. Any confirming factor to check with? How do peeps clean them as it looks a bit dull. We have an ultrasonic jewellery cleaner somewhere I could try.
Also as some of you know I’ve been zero on sport loops until now. What are the ones I have, other than Electric Pink?

Oh, I also need to post this as I promised @toxtrepla I would. Terrible photo, but where I mounted them (temporarily until building work is finished in my proper house) is a bit of a poorly lit and narrow corridor. And I know the bottom row isn’t quite level...
