I get all the Deal Feels™ and no money spent. That’s @jeremyfernie cheesing in the pic, waiting for three of them. And then Spearmint is heading east at some point...Glad to see you received them. Good yoink
The “Mashed Potato” Gen 1 Classic Buckle as @[mention]athousandbands [/mention]likes to call them! Looking good!
Uhh I think it was any sport band of my choosing. Thanks!Am a bit late, but congrats @mikedop! Which band did you win from Juanandonly?
For $50, I’m thrilled with it. Might look for a brown one! To recap, went from 1 band and never needing another to 5 bands in a matter of a week. I get it now.

I dunno, probably a white leather loop. Hadn’t decided yet.Clearly I'm late and dim.What band did you choose @mikedop ?
Awesome! Assuming you paid next to nothing, IIRC you’re like me and only spring for yoink prices. The Pride 2016 is really nice, only a couple thousand were given out in each size. I think 38mm might be somewhat more rare because of the popularity of 42mm. So, maybe 8,000 given out, of which I’d imagine only ~4,000 employees got rid of theirs. Last one to hit eBay sold for $150 I think, and there’s one on there for $500 with about a million watchers. I’d say they’re just as rare as the rio Olympics bands, even more so outside of the US considering they all originated in the Bay Area.Well well, look what’s just arrived! 😏😲

So just how rare is this Pride band anyhow?
Yeah, apparently “like new” can very drastically change from person to person. In my experience you should always ask for more photos, and when possible, look around for a second listing to bail on when the first one turns out to be “Dirt Sport Band.”Was super excited to get my "like new" stone band with ss pin yesterday. Unfortunately, when it arrived I discovered that "like new" means VASTLY different things to me than it does the seller. The long band was unused, but it looked like they wore the rest of the band for a month of Sundays, then a month of Mondays, followed by a month of drunken Saturday nights in which they used the band as a stir stick for whiskey and coke. Husbabe bought me a new one last night because obviously he was sick of listening to me talk about it, but still. lol
Wow! Very cool! Yup, the two of those together cost, with shipping, $29.Awesome! Assuming you paid next to nothing, IIRC you’re like me and only spring for yoink prices.

Oh good. Thanks for the advice. Certainly gonna take care of it properly.Yes it’s made for watches. Technically it doesn’t get you back to factory, as under very specific light you can see a swirl pattern you may have left, but it will get gashes out and in most light restore the perfect lines of your brushed finish. It takes some patience and skill, but is very rewarding zen fun time practice in itself. We can have a dorm room bull sesh about what is really being gashed, the Ti itself or the overcoat, but the soft properties of Ti make it even easier to refinish than the stainless steel.

Think I just yoinked an open box 38mm product red sport band for $13! Never thought I’d go for red but here we go.......
Hmmm, how would I know if it’s Gen 1? Shows number MLD82ZMA...thx!If it is indeed gen 1, then you've started with the best - that's for sure! Nice find.
S0/1/2/3 for sure. That ceramic just punched through. If they made the ceramic S5 a white back, maybe I’d learn to live it more.Which backside of the Watch do you guys like the most?
For me is the Series 4 & 5.
