Latest arrivals new and sealed for half the retail price: Delft Blue and Pollen. So happy with them both!
I'm an Apple Watch owner only since last year, so my collections and band nerdiness is still limited, but I'm noticing that older sport band collections (let's say up until series 4) feel more consistent, like made with higher quality. I don't know if it's just me..
Anyway, I really like the Delft Blue, I atually decided to purchaise it from some comparison pictures posted in here the past days. So, thank you forum! It's just the kind of blue that I wanted, vibrant but deep enough to be worn every season and even with a little more formal outfit.
And the Pollen! It's my first yellow SB, I was unsure because it seemed a little dull from some pictures, but irl is very nice, springy and pastel.

Ok I’m jealous, how and where did you get delft? Been looking around for either delft or linen but no such luck.

Local reseller (Italy) has on discount a large number of old bands collections, all new and sealed, and funny enough they have both delft blue and linen blu (and Alaskan blue, and also surf blue!). I've been unsure forever on which one would have been my first blue band, and at last I decided on Delft :) I'm glad I did.
pollen on the other hand was the only yellow available, I was looking for a ginger or a canary yellow, a fuller yellow, but I had to settle on pollen and thankfully I like it still
 

Ok, that looks much better than in Apple‘s renders!

Personally, I think I would wear this band with a very simple (colour-free) watch face as I would probably feel a little visually overwhelmed by this combination. The regular Hermès watch face (1 or 4 numerals) would do nicely, I guess.

Looks great, nice shots!

Definitely looks like they veered away from the true orange and pinks of the flag. Quite pale by comparison, for better or for worse. And is it just me, or.. with the orange, they went a little.. Cantaloupe? Perhaps to steer clear of Electric Orange?

EDIT: And the green, come to think of it.. a little Pistachio?
