FYI. This is what a Milanese graphite band does to the graphite watch.

I have been very careful, but the scratches are made by the band touching the watch when I make it loose in order to remove it to charge.

If you buy the Milanese you need to be EXTREMELY careful.

Thank you for the tip. I tried making a couple of offers, but got automatic declines. I will message them and keep an eye on the listing
Yeah the seller gave me a very rude “lol no” to a message recently so I’m not sure how far you will get. I meant $500 for just the band though. So message them and say you just want the band. Granted when they had it for auction the starting bid was 475, although I guess that was prob below the reserve.

I swear it doesn’t even have Hermes written on the sensor!

Today’s band — back to Fall ‘18 for Olive Flak / Black. Maybe the first not-so-great match for the ceramic?

No I’m picky about my pairs with Space White and this one absolutely goes well! It’s the flak loop that doesn’t quite blend on this case.

New gold with OG yellow. On mango face because some people were trying to figure out best band match, right?? Mango screen is close in some lights, but is more of a yellow/orange custard rather than just a yellow one. View attachment 967568

New Gold? I thought you said you weren’t going to do the S5 to S6 upgrade literally like last week, as it was too little of a tech jump. Couldn’t resist?

Looking good though!

My new (fall) favorite. Vitamin C SL. I love this "tricolour" look: a grey with a blue tint, a darker grey with a brown tint, and a sprinkle of orange. Perfect for the season. This one was just below retail.

Besides that, I got my newest arrival of yoinks (yoinks family) from a seller site here in Switzerland.

5 SB: Dark Teal, Kaki, Coastal Grey, Pine Green, White (I won't keep this one, I'll give it away with my S3)
1 Nike SB: Pure Platinum Black (got 2 of these now, one will be given away)
1 SL: Indigo
1 Classic Buckle: Cosmos Blue. My first OEM leather band!

They came all in their boxes except for Indigo and the white SB. Tomorrow, they will first take a warm soapy bath before I try them on and take some pics.

So this brings me to 41 in total (without the doubles). So within a couple of weeks I doubled my collection size.... /me proud !

Just went to the Apple store and I found the best match for this Mango color. The gold Milanese loop. It matches perfectly and beautifully.

I also took pics of the Ginger color in the Solo Loop , and compare it to my Lemonade Sport Band that I was wearing.
They are tooooooo much identical, basically the same.
Ginger is just as vibrant as Lemonade. So if you ever wanted the Lemonade, go for this one.
And as far as I read, it’s also identical to Canary Yellow, and very similar to pollen as well.
Here are the pics in two different light conditions:

I do believe it’s going back and the money might go into a different (in more need of an upgrade) Apple product! But testing purposes 😉

Here are the pics in two different light conditions:
Other than they are all shades of yellow it‘s nothing like Pollen, and it’s fairly easily distinguishable from Lemonade. It’s closest to Canary, but sits in between that and Lemonade. If you don’t care about complete, and you don’t have something yellow to match with perfectly then Ginger being a current colour is fine to cover the Canary / Lemonade range, but Pollen is much softer.

Any guesses on color of the right one? (it's 42mm) Alaskan, Blue Gen 2, Marine, White, Cerulean.


Azure would be my pick. Are you sure that top left is Alaskan?

I just saw one today for $35! Let me see if it’s still available.
Damn sorry, looks like it sold a couple hours ago. 🙁
