I.... I.... I.... I..... I Think I just pulled my first official YOINK!

I can't even believe it... I mean I have yoinked before, but never have I ever YOINKED!!!

He said these were his wife's collection, but she doesn't need/want them anymore. Everything is stamped 42mm.

Details (pics) to come, but... from the very, very blurry pictures I think I just got this bundle deal that contains...


  • 42mm Gold Series 1 Apple Watch with box and charger - Don't care about.
  • 2018 Woven Nylon CYR - I have been looking for.
  • 2016 Woven Nylon Pride Edition - Well... if you know, you know.
  • Cocoa Sport Band - (Gold Pin) - Meh... I don't have it.
  • Light Violet/White OR Barely Rose/Pearl Pink - I have been looking for.
  • Orange Sport Band - I have been looking for.
  • Pink Sport Band - Meh... I already have it.
  • Pink Sand Sport Band - (Gold Pin) - Burn it.
  • Black Sport Band - Another yard work band.

We definitely want to see details later.

Way to go.

Oooh I was wearing the same band yesterday. I love this blue! Is the SB the same color? if yes, I guess I'll have no choice than to get one. And indeed, quite different from midnight blue.
The light glint on the sport loop fuzzies makes them a tad different...

Thank you for the picture! SB looks even a tad lighter than the "darker blue" part of the SL. I love my SL, it has become my "to go" band when I can't figure out which one to wear. Midnight Blue was for a long time my favorite band, it was one of the first I bought, together with Walnut. But I always found it a bit too dark.

That’s some fine yoinking, Lou.

Much respect.
 
Those with the solo loops, have you noticed them getting much shinier quickly? My deep navy solo loop has had the coating wear off a lot in barely a month. Makes me a little scared of what it might look like in a couple more months.

I have not, but the only one of mine getting a lot of wear and on/off reps is white. I suspect it’ll be like sport bands, where certain darker loops are more prone to shining on than lighter.

I’ve bought two cheap well-used solo Navys and they each have the same shiny outer rail, to different degrees. I thought it was just because these were worn nonstop with Blue Alum watches or whatever but I think it might be endemic to the Deep Navy color. I feel like my black one is way more resilient. Not great. Is yours picking up more lint too? Maybe the thing that makes the Deep Navy so pretty also makes the UV coating less sticky?

Hopefully it’s not the same situation as the third party bands where they look shiny and greasy once the matte outer coating wears off.

I don’t notice lint. It is just shinier/different color on the edges. For the first three weeks or so, it would have a sort of powder looking substance if I accidentally twisted it or something. It doesn’t really do that anymore, which makes me wonder if that was the coating.
 
This, but just a fresh white sport band every day, only interrupted by a color his assistant hands him to pander for a college commencement speech. Or I guess he wears black now, per the three fall events.

I would guess he’s got like 20 in his drawer but he just never changes them out. Like you said, his wardrobe guy probably gives him whatever they grab from the demo returns.
 
Yeah, this seller has a few recent bands for that price, but I already have most of them, and from the ones that I don’t have those are the only two that I slightly like.
