Does anyone have a picture of pure Platinum White and Flat Silver / White side by side? (front and back if possible) Or a safe way to identify it only through a picture in an ad?

I sold both but side by side, Flat Silver is noticeably darker. To judge in non-comparison pictures alone the surest way is the colour of the Nike logo and signum on the inside of the pin part. On Flat Silver they are white, on Platinum they are dark grey.

I received it a couple days ago and I love the band. Has a definite purplish gray look to it.
Shhh don't say it has a purplish gray tint to it. LOL I bought the Obsidian Mist for my husband and he wore it for 2 days and then told me to put his Obsidian Black band back on because the Mist has a purple tint to it and he doesn't like it. I loved how it looked on him so I keep telling him he's crazy it doesn't look purplish. He is not buying it though he keeps saying it's purple. 🤣

If anyone’s still looking for the 42mm Flash Light Sport Loop dating from Spring 2018, I just noticed it’s still in stock in the online Apple Store over here, as are some other older bands.
So anyone might check the Apple Store in their own country. Just google the specific productcode, filter on results in your specific country and a direct link to your nations Apple Store might pop up..... it’s worth trying!

+1000 for being the sole certified changer of bands in one’s house 🍻
 
Not yet, mine won’t be here until next week.
Ahh ok I was confused. All three of mine still show the following:

Haven’t even ordered the Green Glow band but had some Dick’s bucks so I grabbed the hat just to be ready and it’s very minty, def the love child of Tropical Twist and Vapor Green (left to right). Chlorine in back. I didn’t color correct for chlorine as it would prob be hard to do both colors, but I think we can expect some major sun-shift for it.

My new Nikes just went from ‘Processing’ to ‘Preparing to Ship’ and the full amount is pending on my credit card. Yaaaay hopefully they come early. They usually ship out of Rialto, CA so hopefully that short hop and skip from Ontario to Phoenix doesn’t take too long.

I know this concerns previous season colours but can I have some thoughts please on Pine Green vs Cyprus Green? I got Pine a year ago for our winter time down under, at the time liked it because “finally a green”, but a year later, not sure, I’m just craving something more green and also more dark (Pine takes on a subtle baby blue tinge in some lightings)

Cyprus is nearly black in a lot of light. It’s much more “deep water” where pine is in the cactus/lav gray/khaki world. I would maybe wait for a possible Olive sport band/solo loop before you decide.

“Nearly black in a lot of light” yeah that doesn’t sound my cup of tea at all. I’ll hang on to my Pine Green for now

i also just found this from a YouTube video
