I had her send a photo of the side with the pin flipped too. That one was the one I was referring to being blurry but marked. The small band side is clearly marked.
Got a tip for us?

That is ok. I almost passed it over thinking the same thing while searching for ultraviolet. I went did a double take and when she offered to send more photos. I clicked the buy button... that was one of your good price finds I am sure...

my Leather band from Apple came yesterday
I bought a 300 piece pack of these jewelry tags on eBay for 0.99¢.
The tags work on everything but the Solos need to be taped on to stay on.
Not that I can see but I’m drugged right now. I just got out the ER a few hours ago and I’m on pain killers. Here they are. Take a look.
If you press on the middle part of the connector, the springy part that latches on your watch.
It’s on the pin side of sport bands, buckle side on the buckle bands, fixed lug on the sport loops, short side on the leather loops and it’s on the “assembled in china” side for the milanese and ss link band
Yeah so the 2016 part number is indeed the same as my 40mm box label plus this AM at the end. MTQ72AM/A. I’m not very versed in these arts but I’m guessing that AM isn’t very meaningful...
Thank you so much! With my eye site, I have even managed to miss seeing the 44mm on my bands! lol
The last 2 letters before the /A indicate the region the band was sold in. “AM” indicates North America, “FE” is Far East (China, Japan, etc.), can’t remember what the EU abbreviation is off the top of my head. The band itself is the same but the languages on the paper tray in the box will differ from region to region.
- AM:
- United States
- Mexico
- Canada
- Brazil
- BR:

- ZM:
- Denmark
- Germany
- Spain

- Italy
- Netherlands
- United Kingdom

Gosh did I get my Plum Solo Loop order just in the nick of time

The Covid/Christmas unreliability of the Royal Mail has meant that a few eBay bargains from the last week and a half have all turned up today. Makes it harder to hide the scale of my 'problem' from my wife...
First off, Cali Poppy Leather Link. New and sealed for 25% under retail. On the ceramic, it gives me strong Space:1999 vibes, but that probably won't mean a lot to many people here!
Next, Charcoal Braided. A month old, almost half off retail. Starting to think I have quite small wrists, as not many people were bidding.
New Soft White Ceramic for £30? That'll do nicely thanks. Only need the S2 Cloud for the full set of Ceramic bands.
Finally, two that came part of a bundle, so were essentially £10 each. Obsidian/Black - I only wanted one with a bit less shine that my existing set, but this turned out to be brand new with plastic on. And Blue Orbit/Gamma. M/L only, but I now have an S/M piece in the post...

Awesome pickups, starting to sound like you’re the only band lover in your area! So many good eBay finds.
Is that charcoal loop paired with a Space Black or Graphite watch? Have been toying with picking up this band if I can get a good deal on eBay but am afraid it will look too blend-y with my space black S5.
I would say go for it. Charcoal has a lightness, almost blue in some light.

Yeah it does almost look like a navy blue in some pictures (which I like). I have an Inverness Green on the way already after an eBay coupon got the price down to $60. Maybe I’ll see if I like the band style (and if I got my size right) before looking around for a charcoal. Definitely hard to find them below retail right now with the long shipping delays from Apple.
that combination looks awesome
you must never get tired of all the options you got
I think youre the biggest Apple Watch fan of anyone in the world
My main competition are the resellers - some of it is about getting offers in before they see them (although in actual fact, the Cali Poppy came from one of said resellers...)
It’s Graphite, but as @athousandbands has said, it’s a nice shade and will work with both.
