I didn't know that the docks had a model change! How will you suggest I deep clean the dock? Not sure if rubbing alcohol works on possible invisible mold spores especially on the microfibre side.Judging from your model number of A1714, I wouldn't say you've been screwed. The main reason you can get these docks so cheaply on eBay is that Apple firesold a TON of them (somehow) when they tweaked the puck design with the s4. The mold sucks, but it's probably been in storage for at least 3 years now, possibly in poor conditions. I don't doubt it's new- I think most of them are.
The old dock style still works with the s4 and above, but you'll notice it slides around a little bit more since the bottom of the HR sensor is a little more convex.
For mold put the dock out in the sun for a couple hours then flip and let sit for a couple more hours on the other side. All the spores will be dead.I didn't know that the docks had a model change!

Dock aside I have enough woven nylons new that a brand new sealed woven nylon being filmsy and soft is extremely suspect, but I can't tell that it has been unsealed before or if that it has been worn before, just soft.
Anyone purchased a woven nylon brand new in box received them soft instead of the usual firmness? This was the original (first) black one.
Yes I’ve gotten soft ones new in box before. I doubt it’s been used, you can tell pretty easily with the wovens if they’ve been used.I didn't know that the docks had a model change!

Stop, please! I have identified the concept of "Edition complete", and it's primarily the unobtanium S0 gold Edition that is letting me keep it as a a concept.👏 Edition 👏 watches 👏 are 👏 the 👏 best 👏 watches. 👏
Once everyone comes down from their White Ceramic high, I predict a run on Titanium. The price will just keep going down on eBay S5s👏 Edition 👏 watches 👏 are 👏 the 👏 best 👏 watches. 👏
Dark Gray...it’s so lovely. I was lucky enough to get one from KrpyticDammit. What's the second from the right grey? Now I gotta go look for one.
I may get on that bandwagon for natural Ti if it sets off, though I am currently more than toying with picking up just the bandsOnce everyone comes down from their White Ceramic high, I predict a run on Titanium. The price will just keep going down on eBay S5s
Thanks. It's so nice!Dark Gray...it’s so lovely. I was lucky enough to get one from Krpytic
I doubt he personally even has any bands. It’s just whatever his wardrobe guy gives him.Do you think Tim Cook has a custom drawer in his closet that contains every watch band ever released?

I thought for sure I was going to have a natural Ti before ceramic, but the ceramic just sort of fell into my lap! Didn’t even realize we were in a ceramic craze yet.Once everyone comes down from their White Ceramic high, I predict a run on Titanium. The price will just keep going down on eBay S5s

He must have had to hire a wardrobe guy in that case. I mean Steve didn't exactly need one to pass him a black turtle-neck and jeans...I doubt he personally even has any bands. It’s just whatever his wardrobe guy gives him.
That's because we started it - the craze was our followersI thought for sure I was going to have a natural Ti before ceramic, but the ceramic just sort of fell into my lap! Didn’t even realize we were in a ceramic craze yet.
Leaving aside the White Ceramic (lol) I paid like 650 for the two dark ones—and the natural Ti isn’t mine. I wonder if I even would have gone for the White Ceramic at employee retail if I had been to Mike’s Yoinkiversity at that point 🤔I suddenly feel poor.
