USPS just finally came, two hours after marked delivered so I’m just gonna do a haul pic and proper hero shots later.

Everything to the right of the braid was $25 (thanks @mikedop for the link), including the Alaskan pin piece soaking in warm soapy water off camera and a 44mm SGA box I can use to gift my gray ceramic to pops. I guess this can be a quiz...

edit: add an authentic anthracite to the $25 pile! Listed as fake with a clearly fake nike

soooo excited for my nylon to show up! Last I’ve seen of it, it left Fontana yesterday morning. Hopefully they didn’t lose it...

After some careful thought, I went and swapped in my Graphite SS for Titanium Space Black edition (yes a few days out of the return period, I am much very grateful!).

I regret overlooking the Titanium for the past year, when you see it in person it really does have a very gorgeous finish, the brushed look is just really unique and sleek. As it’s an Edition Watch, you also get a free extra year of standard warranty and a free extra, exclusive Dark Grey Sport Band, so anyways the $100 increase over SS paid for itself I think

Ugh, this band sucks. You can even see the metal lug... no thanks.

I like it enough Mike, as you told me a while back, its what I think what counts :) (which also goes for everyone and what bands they pick for their watch), but for sure, maybe in future releases of the Braided Loop, they’ll address the lug bit being visible, it personally doesn’t bother me too much

Does anybody here know if there is a color difference between the 1st and 2nd gen black Leather Loops? (same would be interesting for the Classic Buckle).

As far as I know there's no color difference between the four generations of the Classic Buckle, "just" the two-tone look and a filleted edge detail (2nd), later edge stitch (3rd), and a new buckle (4th). The Leather Loop 1st gen is deep black, while the 2nd gen is closer to Charcoal Gray than to Black.
 
My 2017 CNY band came today. It’s definitely my most beautiful band, especially with the product red watch! It’s a nice red colour in the dark but the gold really glistens in the sun. Unfortunate that it wasn’t released but was 100% worth the price from chargerstore.

10/10 would recommend.

Oh, definitely. A certain someone here in the forums laughed at me when I explained that I was looking for one under retail in 44. He didn’t realize it at the time but I’m the yoink master ‘round these parts. I get my bands really cheap.
And you for some reason continue shaming publicly and privately everyone, who DARES to pay full price for their bands. Not nice, absolutely not nice, mr. "yoink master".

Please stop hating on the Solo Loops, braided or otherwise, all the time.
haters gonna hate...
