I think this came out between the S0 and S2 since the paperwork and box had 2015 written on it. They do look identical, the only difference is probably the pin, the bundled with the space gray S2 has the black pin? Unfortunately I don’t have it in hand to compare since i gave my S2 to my mom. I was searching for a basic black sport band, the model number just got me confused for a sec. i don’t like how the new black sb is a shade lighter than the old one. That’s how i stumbled across this one...
Got a tip for us?

Interesting. I double-checked all the bands available on apple.com between 2015 and 2017, and the model number MQ3P2AM/A never showed up. Correct me if I am wrong here.
The Black Sport Band is in the Bandbreite database with both pins (the only one with separate entries for both pin colors), but with the ref numbers MJ4G2/MJ4Q2 (Silver pin) and MJ4F2/MJ4N2 (Space Gray pin). Both are in sync with Apple's website.

A fantastic colour to complete the collection. Lilac possibly the best blue ever released!
It always pains me to see this color...I had it with my older watches when I wore the smaller size. When I got my series 4 watch I jumped to the larger size, and included all my 38mm bands with the S3 watch when I sold it on eBay. I miss this one every single day.
I am kicking myself right now because I missed getting Midnight Blue Checked sealed in box for less than half retail because I fell asleep while browsing on the bed.
Today’s band — a while ago the Pink Punch braided got displayed lookin’ good on the ceramic. I decided to go the other way, and I think it pops pretty nicely with the Space Black as well. Even if a bit of the silver lugs shows through.
Correct, i cannot find this model number anywhere. Search results are showing it as a discontinued band but no more information. My theory is the band bundled with the S2 sgal has a black pin and the MQ3P2AM/A has a sg pin. The picture doesn’t tell too much, but the one on the left (MQ) is lighter. I took a picture of the serial number - not sure if that’s helpful. But then again i think my mind is playing tricks on me. 😂 I genuinely think they’re the same band.
Haha I didn’t even remember what this was (new part number discussion yesterday).
We think there were two iterations of Feu Epsom. That when they added a 40mm version they changed the look slightly. Is this supported in your database?

Actually though I’m really jealous of this one for some reason. I can’t find one at mikedop pricing though, let alone finding one at all.
Wow... I had no idea there were serial numbers on the watch bands. Just checked mine and the numbers / letters are insanely tiny!
So here is a good question. How does everyone keep up with the names. I do not have a 3D printer so I can not make the cool tags I have been seeing. Do you guys use regular product tags in strings or what????
Indeed they are very tiny! I had to pull out the macro lens just to get this shot.
Love your avatar btw, Grogu!
After a while you just sort of know which ones are which. At least that’s how it is for me.
Oh yeah sorry, I just glanced at it and thought I saw black lugs. Checking again I see it’s OEM. My bad.
