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!
So it’s literally out the box with finger prints and fading outside light but I love this ceramic. Expect shots with unseen band combos soon, mint green seems awesome. Cornflower, mint, beyrl etc but for now a quick shot or two.

Mine is sitting at my local post office here on a Saturday morning, though it could technically be delivered today.. I still have to wait through the weekend, and through a monday holiday till I get it. I’ll be twiddling my thumbs until Tuesday. Light colored bands are my jam, ceramic crushes that look!

To make it worse my regularly scheduled peach is running late.

Awesome - I’m glad (but a little envious) that you got it for the weekend.

Oh, that must be infuriating!

Mine is still stuck in Kentucky. First it missed a connection that apparently caused delivery to slip from Monday to Wednesday. Before I went to bed it had “departed facility”, but this morning ”a required security check has caused a delay” still in Kentucky.

Given an item on a 3 day service has now spent half of that time stuck in their global hub, I am starting to think UPS couldn’t organise a drunken celebration in a bourbon distillery.

Fog & my natural Ti Light Grey band came in today. Love them both, but refuse to believe the Light Grey is in any way different to Concrete. Like the novelty of having an 'exclusive' band, but don't think there's room in my collection for both, so Concrete may be flinging its way to an eBay listing near you soon!
 
Would you mind posting a photo of yours in outdoor shade? Maybe I’ve been misnaming flamingo for three years 😬
Flamingo is orange against other pinks, and pink against other oranges. It’s a bit of a tricky shade. Pic top to bottom: Flamingo - Vintage Rose - Grapefruit. If I wear Flamingo alone, I’d swear it was pink although it looks orange here.

Take light gray out in the sunlight. Not saying that makes it worth keeping but it’s definitely its own color. Also Light Gray wins over other grays for me because it’s from this new era of gummy and soft bands. All those old grays are so hard and a tiny bit shiny.

That could explain why you've put it on a hall of fame list while I just don't see it! :)
My Royal Blue band arrived yesterday along with a few other bands from chargerstore. My mint condition S5 White Ceramic came today!! Love them both!View attachment 1714144
So you also have just bought a ceramic? Wow - I said 5 of us were buying or looking, but I think it's now 7 or more!

Will do. In short, your „Flamingo“ looks way too pink. I‘ll recreate your Peach vs. Flamingo shot.

This shot of Flamingo is better!

Ok thank you because I took old Flam-flam back out in my patio, still looks accurate to my shot. Putting eye surgery on my Bandbreite wish list. Getting my first Vintage Rose via my favorite dop-shipper after the holiday, so I’ll have the full range of pinks on hand.

yep I finally decided to get one after getting hooked on this thread and admiring all the beautiful photos! Now y’all just have to stop posting pics of all the Hermès. lol

Last two Fall ‘15 bands.

First, gen 2 saddle brown classic buckle yesterday.View attachment 1714216

And today, the very unique View attachment 1714215

Walnut always makes me wonder why there aren’t more brown or brown-leaning sport bands. It’s not like they don’t do lots of neutrals...
Where does the filleted look land in your ranking?

And yes yes yes, I’m expecting mocha and cinnamon and espresso and all manners of desert/dessert to follow on Coastal Gray. We still haven’t received the brown from the Neon Pink loop after getting Coastal from the Surf Loop.

Well, I love the camel loop. I love all the (both the?) loops with that tan coloration. I wouldn’t think that band would look so nice with gray ceramic, but it does.
Exactly, the yellow and the blue *should* be too light for it, but the brown glues it all together.

So, after the mild roasting above, I have had 2 updates and it is now en-route from Honolulu, presumably to Auckland with hopefully at worst a stopover to drop some Australian packages in Sydney to delay it further, so I’m thinking it’s on for a Tuesday delivery after sorting the customs stuff tomorrow.
 
The gen2 is fine, but I definitely prefer the stitched look (and wider variety of colours) of gen3 and gen4 classics.

I think I might narrowly prefer 3 to 4. But it’s close.
I agree - while your pic is of a nice band I also prefer the stitching. The G2 almost looks third party to me as our small collection of three CBs are all G3 or G4 and I’m not used to that look.

Yeah the way the filleting stops abruptly reminds me of legion eBay listings
