Could somebody show me which is the correct way to wear the Modern Buckle? I mean which is the top half and the bottom half. If there even is a correct way, that is.
Thanks in advance

The correct way is with the bottom clasp half on the bottom of your watch imo. Either way technically works though.

Yeah this is the way I do it. I think it just makes ergonomic sense for the buckling process so you can hold the inside piece with your index finger and swoop around with the bottom/outside piece with your thumb.
 
Bumped up the green - these look better:

Nice! So it’s frosty rather than watery like MT. This one was never even tantalizingly shown in a picture let alone offered. Clearly me and your wife are battling it out for the 38mm protos. I guess I’m the equivalent of whoever is hogging all the amazing colorful 42mm protos.

So is it more green than Alaskan? Is more towards Linen or Ocean?

I’d say more towards Linen than Ocean. Not green at all. @mikedop suggestion of Squadron Blue looks close to my eye, after a Google.
 
Just realised I needed to make a change...

I think I passed this a while ago, but lost count as I can't log multiple sizes in Bandbreite...

But yeah, I definitely have a problem.
 
Sorry to be *that* guy, but it’s Blue Orbit/Gamma Blue.

I totally agree though, one of the best releases.
I was half an idiot yesterday: I knew what I typed sounded wrong but my internal editor misfired & skipped over it. Thanks for the correction.

I was looking at my bands, and I kinda think that the Purple Pulse sport loop can sub for Hyper Grape. (Heresy to most, probably.) I almost thought Royal Flash could do the same for BO/GB til I saw your pic. The latter is different enough to shift the band from "want" to "need".

Disagree lol Purple Pulse is definitely not as great as Hyper Grape in my opinion and I wouldn’t call it a sub for it either. Just my opinion ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Purple Pulse is such an oddball band to me. It’s not the actual Nike color (a much more light lilac, like Royal Pulse), a rare monotone post-winter 2018, and while it shares shoes with Bright Mango and is one of the “lead” colors for Nike track and field’s spring line, I feel like it blocked us getting an amazing Bright Mango sport loop. Here’s to hoping we get some porange accent in March, whether Bright Mango or Flash Crimson or what have you.

Honestly some will disagree, I find Purple Pulse boring and is definitely down on my list of Nike Loops. “Flash Crimson” sounds interesting!
