Bullet bit. Here in NZ I don’t have access to the choices you US peeps have for places to buy, and my bud Chargerstore has pricing that isn’t crazy for eBay, at least for sellers willing to ship internationally, so in a push to complete the collection I now have coming:

Stone 1
Pink Sand 1
Antique White
Pebble
Walnut
Red 2
Red 3
Peach
Light Bone / Black
Flat Silver / Volt
Flat Silver / White
Barely Rose / Pearl Pink

And from a separate eBay auction, Nectarine

I now only need Lilac (hoping that may be happening soon) and Hibiscus, plus some of the Edition bands and Hermes Black. I’m not super-bothered to get those as I think I’m right in saying they are the same colour as other bands except for the Titanium ones. I’m also not bothering with pin colour - they are all silver or Space Black and that’s fine for me
 
He doesn’t, but at this point he might as well.
I’ve never owned SA, SBTi, YGA and the jury is out on whether my bf will dump his Ti on me for the pulse ox...not that I have an open pairing slot. The band collecting makes me want more cases makes me want more bands makes me want more cases...as long as I’m spending less than my friends who pour cash into their automobiles...I only feel a little insane. I might reclaim my mom’s S1 RGA if I find she’s happy working out in her new s4 sss.
 
If Nike colors were available across all watches, there would be no point in buying the Nike watch over a normal alum.


Dragonfruit, Pomegranate, Clementine, Canary, Lemonade, Khaki, Horizon, Denim, and Delft. Close!

Shame we can‘t get Nike colours and sapphire crystal though.

I was pretty sure on Hermes, but oranges are my wife’s domain also. Although blue is all me I wasn’t certain about Azure, but it looked a bit lighter than Denim.

I’d love to pick up a silver aluminum solely to see how light magnet looks on it.

Hermès is just too expensive. It’s no different then soft white ceramic, yet sells for 2x more. I’m just waiting for the day that Hermès SB pops up on eBay or Mercari for like $50.

I didn’t realise there was a limit to the pairing number - how many is that? I can absolutely see how the bands drive more cases. I know I want a ceramic now for that reason.

Automobiles... not as bad as I once was but we have seven currently, though two are technically my wife’s. Bicycles - used to have 11 and would replace and sell on many of them annually, but a broken back / wheelchair scenario puts a stop to spending on those pretty effectively. I just count myself lucky I never got into boats, and while I came close at one time, aircraft.

Now that I have an Hermes serial number, I bet I could use the @Pitch method to yoink one from Apple Care

That is an interesting thought - not having heard the @Pitch story and surmising the gist anyway.

I just sold my S2 yesterday, which leaves me sitting at NZ$427 (~US$286) for a Fauve Barenia single tour, Feu Epsom, black Classic Buckle, Midnight Blue Nylon Buckle and three (not particularly desirable) Sport Loops. I still have what I have determined is a good knock-off Milanese to sell also, if I can be bothered.

Yeah see my only wheels are a 2007 Honda Civic with barely 100k miles and some hockey roller blades...

Basically Apple Care can be coached to finding a purchase page to send to your email to replace an edition band for $49...false memory sorry it was a scheme belonging to @mikedop

OG Green looking nice and bright! Thanks @EmmaLouWho! (and @Marcel55 for the cute frog pic I snagged a while back. Matches the Green perfectly!)

If you had told me when I first set out to get all the Nike bands that Light Violet would be the last one I needed, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. At first I thought Smokey Mauve would be last, but I found that one surprisingly quickly.

Anywho... here’s Celestial Teal in some warm lighting because of the red sky. Thanks, @athousandbands!
(for the band, not the fires.)
