Purchased this Platinum/Black for litereally a couple of € aware that it was not in pristine conditions. It looks fine on the wrist and I'll be mostly use it for running and outdoor activities, but I was wondering if there's a way to clean up a bit the black stripes on the inside. TBH I have yet to see a well used Platinum/Black band that hasn't changed color on the inside like this. If somebody hasn't had this experience with this band, what's your secret?!

Yes, I've had that problem and almost nothing seems to clean it off completely!! Hope someone has something that works and thanks for posting this. I should have and simply didn't think about posting it!!!

What about a light rubbing with something like a Mr. Clean magic eraser. I’ve found them to be safe for most surfaces except for those that are very polished.

I had really good results with acetone-free nail polish remover, used carefully of course - on my Black Unity SB I accidentally removed a part of the size print on the backside as well….
But Royal Blue or White came out practically like new after cleaning.
 
Showing off my basic b**** series 8, nothing super special but I like it. I only upgraded so I could give my s7 to my husband to monitor his heart condition(he refuses to spend money on himself so it was give him mine or he'd go without lol), but the temp sensor has already been worth the upgrade aside from that. It detected a spike in my baseline when it wasn't period time, then I found out I had covid :oops: Pretty darn cool. Kumquat band if anyone's curious.

Look at this band, oh look at my watch, look at this combo, look at me, blah blah blah blah.........:p
As I sit here and the other thought running through my jealous mind, dammit why didn't that band when it came out.

Love everyone sharing their pictures and seeing everyone have fun with the watches. Still would enjoy seeing a few more ceramics

There you go :)

Older pic, if I remember correctly that should be the 5th gen Product Red SB.

Reflecting on it, I‘d say it‘s almost the Hèrmes style pose… 😜

Sounds crazy, but have you tried toothpaste?
