Reading your previews posts, I have a Lilac Sport Loop 42-44 mm. It's not sealed, but since I had bought it with a 44 mm Series 5 that went back to the store within 14 days to switch with a 40 mm, the band is in great conditions, just wore it for a couple of days before accepting that the 44 mm was way too big for my wrist.
How much could I ask for the band? View attachment 949548View attachment 949549

I'm not sure how much this would go for--especially used. Looks too much like the Cerulean Sport Loop many of us bought for $22 brand new about a month ago...
 
Sadly, as I found out last week through eBay, currently it isn't possible to post from HK to NZ due to Covid restrictions. I'm not clear whose restrictions, but I've had the same issue with Germany and Ireland over the past few weeks.
Where are you in?
 
lol this made me picture a “faces of meth” style time lapse of @mikedop as he gets less and less sleep because he wakes up every few hours to check eBay and Mercari and Poshmark

That’s what I was thinking myself after I posted :)

Where are you in?

New Zealand. I tried to buy a Walnut new in box on eBay from Hong Kong last week and the seller couldn’t ship it.




Aaand 2x CNY Nylon Buckle ordered... I’d been clean for weeks until I saw that Hermès bundle at the weekend, so I came back here and now I’ve fallen off the wagon entirely again.
 
Ah yes, it's finally that time of year again.

With the new Watch series coming this month or next month whenever it is, Apple once again has a chance to bring back the Classic Buckle, just as they randomly brought back the Modern Buckle two years ago after it spent some time in oblivion

I don't know if its my negative gut and I hope I'm wrong for what comes out with the leather bands, but I expect it'll once again be Modern Buckle for 40mm watches, while the Leather Loop will also return again and remain restricted to 44mm watches (i don't know who up there in Apple decided it was a good idea to make these two bands incompatible with the different sizes, I do one day hope they make a Leather Loop for 40mm)

Given the periodic “friends” that roll through here and make ad hominem attacks on the sanity of people who pay for OEM Apple Watch bands and the fact that nice third party buckle bands (regular leather is the one thing Apple prob has the least advantage in) are like half to one quarter the price of classic buckle msrp, I often wonder if Hermes sales are really just that strong that the $340 bands killed the $150 ones.

That Apple’s vaunted spendy customer base was that easily upsold when it came to the classic leather band style...
 
Is it possible to see Blue Jay, Cornflower and Cape Cop in Modern Buckle side by side indoor and outdoor lighting please?

I won an auction for a brand new "Lemonade" sport band. This is what arrived. Any ideas if this is Lemonade, Flash, or something else? I included a pic with all the yellow bands I own for comparison (Meyer Lemon loop, Flash loop, Camel loop).

Thanks. Second time I've thrown a bid on a low-priced band, forgot about the auction, and no one else ended up bidding!
See I got my clementine as a 38/40 (accidentally), and I need a 42/44! Got mine cheap as well, not as cheap as yours though. If I could find one for $10 I’d buy the right size, but it’s so close to other colors I know I don’t NEED it. I stared at it on my arm often thinking, am I wearing “pink” or Clementine? They’re so close.

I can't tell Lemonade & Flash apart when they're next to each other.

wearing Spicy Orange today. :)

I assume it says 38/42mm, right? Ruling out canary yellow...

Here is flash-flash-flash-lemonade (left has darkened a bit over time). My guess is flash, it just has that punchiness where lemonade is ever-so-slightly creamier/faded.

I know this isn't super helpful, but it's definitely either Lemonade or Flash. Without something else I know IRL to reference against I can't be sure, and I don't have any of the yellows you photographed.

My Flash feels a bit thinner and more flexible than most other bands, while Lemonade feels like the majority, and I can definitely tell the difference visually also. Flash is bordering on a fluro / highlighter yellow while Lemonade is just a pure, fresh yellow.
