Ah, ok I see the custard tones now that you say it. I’m worried the Canary might have that muted, hazy look I’m trying to avoid, but I might like the Canary shade more...

I do see one Canary on Mercari under $40 right now. No OG yellow on Mercari, Poshmark, or eBay though.

I don’t have canary but I love OG yellow, however one wants to describe it.
 
Oops, I misspoke. It’s OG yellow. And I just realized it’s only the S/M band which I am not a fan of. I’m the second to last hole on S/M.
What size are you? I was going to say, I see multiple OG’s but no canary. You gave us collectors a spook 😅
 
I’m thinking OG yellow is going to be the move when one pops up in my size. I like how bright and bold this one is. Should match my Jaume Ambre face well 😁
I’ll see if I can get a pic later of Yellow and Canary on my wife’s Hermes with a Jaune Ambre face. Unless Mr Thousand can do it sooner with his Hermes?

How true to life is the coloring in these photos? It’s so hard to pin down the actual colors with these chameleon bands!

Your photos make it look to be the perfect shade.
True to the lighting, true to my eye. OG yellow is, very rich... by my definition. Rich, velvety, like the petals of a sunflower. It’s not exactly primary yellow, it’s richer than that.

My Canary is en route still, and you probably have sunlight before me. That little strip of Ambre you get on the Hermes needs proper lighting

It's into the golden hour here now, but here it is. I think the white background is more accurate. Is there a better Jaune Ambre face than just the hands?

Edit: OG yellow at the top, Canary at the bottom.

Yellow is the better match, with its warmth. And you could also go to the last color, Ambre/Capucine, which gives Ambre numbers. I did forget the trick for making the second hand thicker. Nicely done.

Good morning! It's bitter cold here today.
Band of the day for me is this beautiful Linen Blue which I unpacked earlier this morning. It is exactly how I expected it to be 😍 a beautiful, somehow subdued blue with a cold undertone that perfectly matches this icy morning.
The texture is soft and velvety, almost a bit powdery, as the surrounding snowy landscape. The solar dial with its ever changing shades is a perfect match for this atmospheric band.

Have a nice day everyone!

I think there may have been a big world-wide restock.

I’m actually returning one that arrived this morning, as it was bought for someone across the pond, who had them turn up in their own online store a couple of days later!

There will be at least one more in stock in the UK next week!
Actually for parts of Southeast Asia it seems the restock already happened a few weeks back and now everything is listed as not available anymore. Not that I am looking for a plum SB.

Recently I find myself wearing the S6 Red more and more, but have only been wearing it with the black sport band. Anyone here can give me some suggestions on what other colours might look good paired with the red S6?

Also, I noticed mikedop got suspended. Anyone knows why?

He upset one of the mods, I believe.
 
I got my new obsidian mist/black yesterday and I really like it. Always been a fan of greys. Can’t quite get a matching face for the cherry cutting board I’m working on though, alas.

Is it FedEx? FedEx is hubbed in TN. UPS Kentucky. Apple dumps items there when they’re fresh from China, I think. So they’re probably jamming out these Plums every day while the Northerns and Kumquats sit in the regional hubs collecting dust, like Ontario, CA for us folk in the southland.
Yep, probably right. Most of my Apple accessories seem to originate from their warehouse in Rialto, so I expected the same for these. Our Plums must be fresh off the assembly line!
