G2. The pnemonic Toxtrepla came up with for remembering is “blue 2 neon”/blue too neon

Actually I’m gonna have to change my answer to G1 after recreating the pic. Blues are always so hard because lighting changes everything. G2 is bright, sure, but G1 can be just as bright if you let it.

I know the feeling. Recently purchased a series 2 38mm white ceramic watch at a great price. Waiting for delivery. Hope I will be doing the happy dance instead of sending the watch back.

I am definitely doing the happy dance. Received my ceramic series 2 38mm watch today and everything looks brand new. I only paid $142.97 for everything in the pictures. Now I am a member of the ceramic club. :):)

I looked at it once, and never bothered again. It's just a mess of random posts in a single forum selling all sorts of stuff with no way to tell if the item is still available, no way to filter for the type of thing you are looking for etc. It's a joke given the mythology around it.

Here’s an untouched HEIC (proraw hates royal blue)

I have NO idea which one I have hahah... at times I think I have both of them.

Has Chargie updated his G1 and G2's properly now?

If so, I guess the only way to know is buy one from him and see if it's the same or different from what I already have.

Yeah he corrected it. Best way to tell—does it look turquoise-y irl? Like does it have a greenish seafoam tint to it?
 
I (think I) need some help. When I originally just followed this thread buying some of the bands I had wanted here and there felt fun. But now as I edge past 55 bands from my original 12, I am looking at every band on sale and seriously even considering buying bands colors that I don't like just because they are available at good prices.

I need to stop spending money.
I'm in the same situation as you. I joined this topic in September last year , I had 25 bands and am getting close to 60 as we speak. Thanks to this topic I learned to search for bargains, discovered sport loops and incredible colors. And Nike bands.

My only rule is: buy bands you like and you'll wear, even if it's only once a year, and have fun collecting. As long as I'm having fun, I'm good (within a reasonable limit of course).
