After being unsure and resisting for months I finally ordered one from our favorite ebay merchant.

You guys and girls are a bad influence. 😉


And here it is. Like Italy it isn't exactly my style but where Italy is really in your face bright Greece is beautifully not. Add that to the fact that Greece is a country important to me and I'm definitely happy to have it.

Superb! The matching watch face too!
Sorry if I missed when that info was posted, but what’s the username on ebay of your favorite merchant? I order a lot from ebay so it would be helpful to have a go-to merchant. Thank you!
 
For all the Leather Link skeptics…the second hip hop billionaire is a Meyer Lemon LeLoo fan. And so nice befriending that creepy drifter. Stars, they’re just like us!

For those wondering about cleaning Braided Solo Loops, I’ve been having a lot of success with this gimmicky dishwashing spray and then rubbing in the direction of the diagonal outside threads. This is my oversized sleep loop, it gets pretty grimy eek!

Sport bands. Everything I've seen online says that soap and water should take care of it, but I haven't had that work once yet. I've had some success with a white eraser, but that also seems to peel off whatever Apple uses to add some luster to the bands.
I always use a combination of stiff brush, alkoholic disinfectant/cleaner, dish soap or soda and for the remnants the eraser. Often people complain that it ruins the band, but I keep cleaning bands that way all the time and never had any problems. I don't know if they have Even tried it this way before 😅 In 90% of the cases they get their original look again.
A White Gen.1 as an example only half cleaned. Unfortunately, the photo does not show how new the band looks on the cleaned side in relation to the fine surface.

I use magic eraser and a little bit of soap and it works wonders.

The USA looks much better in person than on the website.. originally, I bought the GBR for 7/4/21 (okay, that was a bit of a poke) because I preferred the RED/WHITE/BLUE in the GBR vs. the USA version. But wife got the USA version and it does look really nice. I also bought the Greece version and while nice, I think it’s going back.
