Pardon the dirty shoes— old pair relegated to camping!
I really don’t mind the SS lugs on the dark SE.

PS- the second pic made me realize my coating on the body is a little chipped. :/ Oh well— these are objects meant to be used. It is serving me well, and I don’t notice the chip from my usual vantage point. 😉
 
I splurged on a few Classic Buckles this past month or so. They really dress the watch up, and I’m glad to have finally taken the plunge.

I reflected on these newest additions, with rumors of bands potentially losing support on S7. I really don’t believe that will be the case, and S7 will be compatible. And I expect this will be true for at least 2 more generations (they will keep S7 chassis for S8, if not S9).

Nonetheless, Classic Buckles, and I suppose Modern Buckles, too, are some of the most futureproof bands, since the lugs can be so easily and completely swapped. Not really true for any other band styles I’ve collected since getting an SE last year.

Posted a pic of my Midnight Blue Gen 3. I also have the Gen 4 in Berry and Electric Blue. Will post those soon!
 
I han never seen this band before. Now I need it!
You wouldn't regret it for sure, it's a really nice band. Unfortunately often difficult to find. Charger sometimes has some but is usually relatively expensive there. With used Bands you have to look that you get the right one. It is often difficult to distinguish from Platinum White in photos on the Internet. You always have to pay attention to the Connectors.

Did you get it from Charger? Printing-wise, it looks like one of the prototypes with no branding. Or am i misreading the pic? Of course his gray protos do have the printing.

It's from EBay but not from Charger. Unfortunately, it was pretty worn out, but relatively cheap. The Nike imprint can hardly be seen there, in fact, you can't see it in the photos. All the other prints are fine. Fortunately, apart from that, it looks like new again after my usual cleaning.

For sure. It’s tough to find those watch-only bands in pristine condition because I can’t imagine a lot of people buying a series 2 and already having a band and setting aside the Flat Silver.

Yes, unfortunately. I already had the same problem with Flat Silver/Volt. Nevertheless, more of it seems to have been sold than the white version, at least you see them more often in the usual places for sale.
 
Picture request: Product Red (2021) sport loop lugs vs Nike Bright Crimson sport loop lugs.

Also, how different are Hibiscus and Electric Pink lugs to Bright Crimson?
 
Nice! What else are you looking for? I’ve got royal pulse/black in the marketplace.
Barely Rose is missing and so Light Violet, Violet Dust, Light Bone and Cargo Khaki. Don‘t know why they are so rare (apart from the Light Bone of course).
