I don’t quite know why but Dragonfruit reminds me of Panda Express every time I see it. I think they used to have a Dragonfruit tea or something. Maybe I’m thinking of passion fruit.Wouldn’t have thought to compare them but they are a nice pair. Nike would slap these on some spandex and call it dark beetroot/active fuchsia or some such. Can never thank Father Tox (PBUH) enough for procuring us retail price D F.

The artist face is perhaps the worst watch face I’ve ever seen.
Purchased from eBay BNIB. Guessing it was one that came with a Graphite series 6 watch.Please define "picked up". Is Graphite the new black?

Yeah the top coating comes off after excessive wear, but I’ve never heard of it happening within days. Weird.Nice find!
My partner had a graphite SS with that band but returned it after 10 days (he doesn’t want to spend the money in the end) When I was cleaning the band for him it started peeling. Never seen a sport band peel like that before. Is it because he sweats heavily?
Pink Punch already sounds like a Nike color. It’s such a non Apple name and I love it.Better believe I’m gonna be fishing for compliments on my Braid at the Trader Joe’s today (decided to keep the too-big one)

Original box too! I’d love to find one with its original box and accessories and such without paying a whole lot, but that’ll be hard to do with sooo many people looking for this watch.New band for today; Grey/Black, complete with the Watch it was exclusive to. First time I’ve seen a ceramic Edition, and in all honesty I wanted the white more than the gray, but it is veeeerrrrryyy nice.

Exactly. The artist face is super cool with SS border and a nice mute band. 100% agree here.I actually strangely like it, though I didn’t expect to. The colour palette used works well with SBSS and muted band colours.

Yeah I would have to wait for the S3 to get retired before finding one at mikedop pricing. I think excluding shipping and taxes I paid about $230 for my S2 ceramic... hope to find a S3 at that price later down the line.It came from Aus via eBay. I don't know if it was not a whole lot by your measure, but setting aside the cost of shipping and taxes I have to pay to get anything delivered here it was about US$370. Way less than some I see listed on there.
Unfortunately the box got a little bit biffed on one corner in shipping - the outer box it was in had a crushed corner and was damp, but fortunately the Apple box was on two layers of bubble wrap. The charging cushion needs a clean (as no doubt does the Watch, just less visibly so), but everything is close to perfect condition.
It's taking ages to update it to WatchOS7. It arrived not having been reset (but thankfully not locked) and with hindsight maybe I should have tried to get it to pull down the update over WiFi before I reset it - if that's possible without the paired iPhone.
I agree. I didn't know the S2 came with the book - I may look for one of them rather than the band by itself.Going through that box actually reminded me of a convo with @athousandbands ... I was showing him this book that came with the old ceramics and he said I should post some pics here but I forgot to.
It’s insane to me that the ceramic S5 didn’t come with anything that the other models don’t have. Especially now on WatchOS 7, they don’t even have a special face color. First gen editions came with that elaborate leather case and charger, a microfiber cloth, and all sorts of goodies. S2 Editions came with this book that has lots of pictures of the manufacturing proces. The S3 at least came with the $79 pillow. With the S5 you just get the same accessories as the SS watch. Very disappointing.

Light Violet... me want...View attachment 964070
All together now.... "It's rainin' bands...."....
But seriously, I want to send out huge thanks to -
@jamieinoc for being the central hub holding them for me until all the shipments arrived + 2 bands from him
@Pascal70 for getting a couple of the bands sent to Jamie for me
@iChernov for really going crazy overseas with the last big group extravaganza
I truly appreciate everyone's help in getting my collection nearer to completion.
Thank you!
Yeah if you have the funds, go for it!I agree. I didn't know the S2 came with the book - I may look for one of them rather than the band by itself.
Speaking of the OG Edition - does anyone here have one?
How about light violet with artist face? 😉Light Violet... me want...

For a good one? About $300 USD (£235)I haven’t looked - what do they go for these days? Not that I’m thinking of taking your suggestion seriously, just to be clear.
