My Halloween dog walk band as I dodge literal mask-less ghouls hallooing and trying to hand me candy...Lunar matches Obsidian Mist loop really nicely, though the color of the top and bottom edge text and the matching accent thread doesn’t quite come through (new forum tool won’t embed full image)

Today my GF and me went to the store to get the leather link. It’s definitely my fav band next to my braided loop!

Those look fantastic. I am curious if anyone wearing these bands has noticed interference with the watch’s compass. Apple has indicated that’s a possibility, but I’m not sure how likely that is or under what circumstances, or if this is a warning borne of an abundance of caution.

it’s not the best solution, but it works.
IKEA ALEX drawers with a few drawer organizers. They’re ideal for much smaller collections, cause you can stand them up as if they were on a pillow.View attachment 977270View attachment 977272

Suddenly it feels like I don't have enough bands...not even a blue one and @mikedop has a dedicated box just for shades of blue :) - boxes are even labelled :cool:

The signature message now makes sense. Great collection there.

Got the cornflower leloop, I like the cornflower leloop. Got the forest green leloop, I like the forest green leloop! Was afraid the green would be too dark, but I think it works quite well with this band. 👌View attachment 977358View attachment 977359

Wow. Both look amazing with that graphite!

I was just noticing how green that first shot looks. Weird lighting.

I’m giving it the garage run-through to see how it fares. I’d certainly like it to darken up a bit. Matter of fact I’m a little sad I didn’t get the charcoal version.

I wonder how these will age, ie darken. The saddle brown iPhone cases always used to darken well given time but the coloured leather versions not so much. This is a personal preference I know. Easy way to speed up the ageing process on the saddle brown leather was some coconut oil or similar.

Normally the colouring on Apple leather products prevents oil from having much impact but it might be worth a shot on a part of the strap that doesn't show.

Side note, these titanium/stainless models are quite tempting, along with a 44mm instead of my current 40 :rolleyes:

Anyone got a Rose Gold aluminium paired with the California Poppy Leather Link? Leaning towards that but not sure how it would look IRL.
 
I’ve had my knock off blue leather loop for probably 18 months or and it is starting to look a little beaten.

I do prefer the leather loop design to the new leather link though - I have the California Poppy and rather wish it was the older design.
