I'd like to see pictures, as well. I am considering getting one, but I don't love the band that comes with the 42mm version. I'd love to see photos of this watch with different colored sport bands!
 
Here is mine that I got a week and a half ago. I really like the watch, but I'm debating returning it and getting a SS. I want band options besides the sport bands (I had a SGS with a bright blue LL band before this) and I'm not sure there are any that will go with this besides the sport bands

How about rose gold aluminum with space black link bracelet?

Or the Black Classic Leather... however, once someone starts thinking about the SS models, it is hard to stop until you end up getting one. I love the look and feel and weight of the SS models. And before someone says the SS is too heavy, it is less than one ounce more than the sport model. :)

Black classic leather won't look good because the chrome connectors will clash with the rose gold aluminum.
 
I found one third party band that is rose gold that I was thinking about getting

That's a horrendous looking knockoff of the Modern Buckle. I'd get the SS if I were you, since you clearly want more band options.
That's what I'm leaning towards doing. The only other bands I've found are shiny rose gold. I wish apple would release more bands to go with it
 
Actually, the ss on the official bands looks nice with the rose gold. I tried the Milanese loop and modern buckle at my Apple Store and they looked just fine, and for the most part unnoticeable. And I'm fairly OCD. Only way to know is to try it out first.
 
Does anyone happen to have the new soft pink band on a rose gold watch? Or the midnight blue?
 
I have a soft pink being delivered this week, but if someone else has I'd like to see it. Have the soft pink case on my rose gold phone and it matches fairly well.
 
Just keep in mind that Apple shows the watch as being shinier on the web site than it actually is.

This is the vintage rose band. It came early. Matches the new pink silicone case perfectly. It's a bit brighter than the rose gold, and I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it as I liked the more muted lavender, but we'll see! It is pretty though, just bright.

I love the lavender that my watch came with but I am also looking at getting the black leather loop band. Since there is no hardware on that band, there are no issues with matching. Because most of the watch faces have at least a black background the black bands look really good with it. What I would really like in addition to the LL would be a rose gold ML band. I love the look and feel of the ML band but I do not like silver with the color of my watch.
