Dude of course it’s worth it lol, it’s a discontinued leather band for 1/4th of retail.

Lol, I know is a great deal, but the seller lives in the other site of the city and he only accepts personal delivery, so I only intend to go if I really like it. I found a black one even cheaper but the seller did not answer :confused:

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.

Act now; we're all lost, but there might still be time to save yourself if you're quick...

Am a bit late, but congrats @mikedop! Which band did you win from Juanandonly?

Clearly I'm late and dim.What band did you choose @mikedop ?
 
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

I dunno, probably a white leather loop. Hadn’t decided yet.

Well well, look what’s just arrived! 😏😲

So just how rare is this Pride band anyhow?
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.

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.”

Wow! Very cool! Yup, the two of those together cost, with shipping, $29. o_O I really like this Pride one more than the 2017 nylon, the lighter blue stripe is really pretty and the colors are softer, the gradient look is nice. (My fave is still the 2018 white striped one.)

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.

Which backside of the  Watch do you guys like the most?
For me is the Series 4 & 5.

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.

Hmmm, how would I know if it’s Gen 1? Shows number MLD82ZMA...thx!
if it says 38mm and had the product red logo, it’s gen 1.

If you can avoid it, I don’t recommend talking to @athousandbands. He’s contagious. I’ve joined the #athousandfits club... sort of

I picked up some Air Max 90s in Hyper Jade to match some of my bands. They’re pretty cool.

Unfortunately because this Colorway is now over 6 years old, I wasn’t able to buy them new. I found this pair on eBay for a bit more than I’d want to pay for used shoes, but still happy with them. Hopefully people start going outside soon and I can wear them in other places than my house.
