I desperately need to find a Sky Blue SB!
Yeah. I have bands I doubt I'll ever wear like Midnight Blue 2 and Hermes Gold Pin. Others I want to but really can't match with anything like Royal Pulse or Spruce Aura.
Sky Blue is very, very nice. One I bought for completeness and really like on its own merits.
Today’s band — kumquat loop. Funny name, but really like the band.
And then he sends this. I’m so confused- is he discretely selling fakes or fully leaning into the idea that they’re real?
Ooo. Nice.
Using that watch face also! Have an automation setup to change to it an hour before sunset.
And now that listing has been removed from eBay. Probably was knowingly scamming people.
I reported it as fraud after the seller restarted ignoring me... guess they agreed it looked fishy.
Does anyone has a comparison of the new Deep Navy sport band with the Midnight Blue and Blue Horizon?
I’ve seen some videos where they look very similar.
Thank you!

If Apple's QC is spotty for these bands it probably won't be difficult for third party to counterfeit them. There are now very decent third party knock-offs for SBs and SLs after all.
So I’m using this post to show how Graphite really differentiates itself based on the lighting, with the Atlantic Blue Braided Loop.. Here I’m sitting at a window on public transport;
Aboveground with the sun shining onto the Watch, it’s closer to the Silver Stainless Steel.
In a tunnel/underground, a “darker” setting, it more closely resembles the old Space Black Stainless Steel.
It’s really neat and either way, I love this idea of getting the best of both finishes and I think it looks very elegant. Apple did a great job overall with Graphite and I hope it sticks around permanently and not a one-off like the Storm Grey Ceramic, but you never know!

I messaged the guy on Twitter and he sent me that exact same photo. I asked if they had the laser markings of the size and other on the metal lugs and he said “I'm not sure about that, but they're genuine and exactly as Apple's so they should if thats what Apple has”. He also said that it depends on your region if you will get a box. Apparently something happened to the listing so it was relisted. It does seem very sketch. Here is the guy on Twitter btw if you want to message him or ask him something on his post: https://twitter.com/caleblin_apple?s=21
Cyprus green, the dark green chronograph watch face and stainless steel
Congrats on making the switch to SS! It looks great and works well with every band
It is fraudulent to use the genuine MPN and the genuine Apple hero shots when you are not selling the genuine Apple OEM product. Your relisted item title literally has “OEM” in it when it is in fact not the OEM product. I don’t give a damn how it helps your Search Engine Optimization or how good your product may be. It’s sleazy and it’s wrong. Prepare for a lot of eBay Money Back Guarantee claims from the people you are bilking. If your product is so close to the original, post real photos and take off the MPN and the Apple hero shots and let people decide on your product’s own merits. What you’re doing right now is disingenuous and frankly I’m floored you actually had the gall to show up here and defend your actions.
I’m quite disappointed as still right now the eBay listing has the MPN as the real Apple one and Brand as “Apple”. It doesn’t really matter how high quality they are, if they are not Apple, even if they are a perfect clone, they are not Apple and shouldn’t be advertised as such. Other braided solo loops that are not officially Apple have their brand as unbranded and no MPN. I will wait to receive mine, and depending on my thoughts I will decide whether to request a refund or not. Advertising these as “Genuine”, “OEM”, “Apple” or with the MPN is not the right thing to do.
I also found this AliExpress listing, which I’m assuming is the same product. Even here it isn’t advertised as an Apple product. https://m.aliexpress.com/item/1005001527466676.html

You’re so right. The gold did have something special about it though and I miss it. If I were not a band collector and could have contented myself with just a few bands I’d stick with it. Alas that is not the case so now I can enjoy ALL my now more than 30 bands!
I was going to write my own reply but you said it better than I would have. Unfortunately, I doubt any of us will be able to convince a scammer that scamming people is bad.
You literally said in your first listing before it was removed that these were authentic original Apple bands and you were a licensed Apple reseller.
Go away scammer.
