The day has finally arrived. Brand new sealed Hyper Grape Sport Loop. I’m ecstatic right now!
 
I’ll have to wait for the ‘One Orange to Rule Them All’ until I get a Hermès Watch (good excuse not to buy one this year is that the Space Black model doesn’t come with the orange band), as I’d rather not buy second hand. Also I think if I ever did have enough cash for that model, I’d want to go and buy it in person from a Hermès shop in a lovely European city

At risk of sounding like we're on commission, I plus several others will vouch that Chargerstore's listing that says "Never use, in like new item condition" is for a new, genuine Hermes orange if you want one.
 
how much did that cost you?

The famous question that I shall answer with shame and I’m not too proud of it but I’m okay with it. It counters all the other deals I’ve gotten on other bands. It was one of those I have to have it and have been chasing it for a while plus it was brand new and sealed in box like how I wanted it, didn’t want it used. Here it is... $93

No shame!

Less than the cost of 2 new bands, and if you really want it why by 2 that you don't want as much?
 
I love this thread. I feel a little like Alice in Wonderland 😍 Each band is a gift for the collector's heart. I've learned a lot about bands in the last days.

So thanks to you guys I've checked out Chargerstore (I had spotted him earlier but was unsure if I could trust) and made my first purchase - a Gen 2 green band (my little collection lacks green). ☺️

Also, while I wait for my S6 Nike which just reached Europe I unpacked one of my new bands today. I finally got my very first sport loop! Plum. I'm in love! So comfy! I really love this color too.

Last but not least, I'm seriously considering investing in a SS with milanese loop ... Oh dear I'm hooked
 
Stripes? Are we doing stripes?

Cream sport loop again...making the face made me realize maybe the elusive food packaging it reminds me of is some obscure euro/middle eastern wafer cookie, like those ones with the waffle look.

Just wait until it hits that magical ~$200 range. Which includes up to $250

oh WOW this screen design is brilliant with the band! can't believe i didnt think of this! really nice!

I also wanted the midnight fog but I think I’ve managed to convince myself that world indigo is similar enough. Don’t anyone convince me otherwise please

Lol I have World Indigo too but I still think Midnight fog with its more dense chameleon look to it and lack of reflective threads and navy blue edges/lugs vs black on world indigo is different enough. @[mention]twanj [/mention] Can you do a side by side if you have both which I’m pretty sure you do?

I love the support here! I’m really happy with it and you’re absolutely right. Next on my discontinued wishlist is Nike Midnight Fog Loop. Patience, one day...
Don’t be afraid to buy one without a box. They sold a ton of Nike watches with those on them standard.
Also, all the OG loops are extra long. They all got short after the first year. This can throw people off if they think it isn’t genuine.

Yea I see it’s really hard to find one with box for Midnight Fog. I don’t think I’ve seen a single one with box as a matter of fact. Thanks for the tips.

Happened to pair them for my first summer project:

I have 3 SEALED Apple Watch Nike bundles thank came with Midnight Fog. I don’t think I want to open the boxes to split the bands from the bundles as a collector might want the complete set but PM if interested.
 
Oooh the band fairy arrived early today! My most recent yoink, at $13 each 😏 (open box slightly used):

Is there any way to figure out what yellow this is? It has 38mm stamped on it, so I am guessing maybe Lemonade? Only other yellow band I have to compare is the Canary Yellow loop:
