Since we WERE on the topic of case materials (realized I missed days worth of replies), do you guys think a brand new space black stainless Series 5 with space black Milanese loop for about 15% less than retail is a good buy?
And Apple needs to make that multi watch charging display available to the public!!

It’s hard to say. For sure the Space Black Milanese, like any band that’s been sold for years on end you can find for 50% off or better by itself. And it’s DLC so condition is generally going to be great, “you should see the other guy” etc.
But maaaaybe there will be a significant backlash to the graphite and the market for SBSS watches will be a strong sellers’ market, especially if you want Always-On Display, similar to the tight spot white ceramic buyers are in right now. But then again the DLC durability means a good supply of top condition used cases. I have seen scratched SBSS but it’s more lone gashes than the cloud of micro-abrasions one gets with Silver or Gold Stainless.
Answer: no. For now.
P.S. Are they still stocking the refurb store or is it dead until spring? Store is down ahead of Black Friday at the moment.
I was actually offered both the sport band and the milanese loop variant of the 44mm SBSS for the same price. Recently sold off my space grey Series 5 so had been waiting for BF for a good deal. I don't remember how much a brand new one used to cost, but was offered one from a local deal for around the 500~ USD mark. Was thinking of selling off the milanese to offset some of the cost, but if it doesn't fetch much I think I will either keep the band or not take the deal. Shall decide by the end of the day.
This is wrong as Feu has the leather structure that can also be seen in the pictures and Orange doesn‘t.
I directly wrote you how to get one. The problem for you was (as usual) price.
My orange single tour is the smoother Swift leather texture. Or did they do Epsom leather in orange, I forget?
two absolutely different shades of orange, different structure... what is "close enough" between two absolutely different bands?
Lol, no. Especially as someone else had already given the correct answer 40 minutes earlier.
This.
Feu is orange, not red.
I am confused. I cant find an orange band with epsom leather in 42 mm.

Yeah, you wanted ~$400 + $50 shipping for a used store display. It’ll be much cheaper for me to wait and find someone here in the states who can get me one for a reasonable price.
Ah sorry, didn’t see that. I really don’t know much about Hermès, I thought it was the same band with the only difference being texture, like it was a second generation or something. I’ll have to ask thousandbands to give me a Hermès crash course. My apologies!
You found the right band. Bandwerk apparently called it „red“. It is indeed way more orange than red in real life.
No worries, your expertise in Sport Bands and Loops is second to none
But I wouldn‘t take that crash course. It may become a very expensive education in the long run ...

Haha, that’s my worry. He keeps trying to get me into Hermès, but I keep resisting. I’m sure he would happily give me the crash course if it meant I was looking at Hermès listings more. I don’t think I’m ready to start collecting them!
This is the only reason I’m glad I have skinny wrists, Hermy leather won’t fit me 😅
If you go to an Hermès Shop/Boutique, they will put new holes in the bands for free ... 🤩
