I hope it’s just a Christmas/end of year type stock thing and not that it’s actually sold out for good! Once I saw people’s RL photos of it I wanted to get it, can’t believe if I didn’t order within the first month I’m out of luck. I only started buying this year so if that’s how it was in the past, damn.

At least they do still have the Plum solo loop in stock if it comes to that...
 
So my friend ride band was supposed to be delivered yesterday. My postal carrier scanned it and delivered it, but no to my mailbox. I will be having lots of words with her and our post master. This is the second one in a few weeks she has messed up and she mixes up a lot of others mail here too

I hope you find one. I picked one up at the Apple store when I was picking up my ProMax on release day. Then had to get the plum silicone case to go with the new phone. A beautiful combination!

So my pride band was lost in the mail.. the carrier scanned it as delivered and then did not deliver it. But a trip to the main branch and a 30 minute wait in line, I got two of the deliveries I was expecting. If anyone has a 38mm blue that matches this delft (I think) I have a 44 mm set to trade. I will be heavily cleaning these as they are used...

That is on my buy list as soon as I find one that is affordable at the time. Christmas has me broke...
I would say hold out, the market is really about to be flooded with these from all the people who got them free as a sorry from Apple while they wait months for their new-size Solo Loop to arrive. Have you availed yourself of twanj’s wonderful Discounts thread? I’ll post the first $20 Surf I see there, for sure.

I bought a new sealed 40mm Surf Blue on eBay this week for $12.00 and $6.00 shipping.

Is that why I have been seeing eBay filled recently with new Surf Blue bands for less than $20? I was wondering why so many people were letting them go at once!

Can someone help me, what gen of black is this? (The left one)
Middle is from my series 2 and the one on the right is the current black. Model number is MQ3P2AM/A and it has 42mm stamp on the pin side. I don’t see it on bandbreite.

Yeah cactus too although I think they might have run out of cactus pretty soon after beginning the exchange program.

There was only one shade of black in the 38/42mm era, right? The space gray pin was for the aluminum watch, I think, so my best guess is that the two bands on the left are the same color, just different ages/condition.

I’m thinking the same as well! Thanks for confirming!
I’m sure Choreo will add the space gray pin to the app. I’m surprised it wasn’t already there. I gave mine to my buddy when I sold my S2 otherwise I could have done a little digging, though it would have been discolored for sure. Making me realize my dad still might have my S0 band...
