And for New Year’s Eve we’re popping!
White Sport band probably one of my favorites.
I also got the Apple Link Band. Way overpriced but damn it looks great!
Cyprus Green to match the outfit for the first day of the year.
Posted elsewhere but why not here too.
I only like the Hermès model for the faces so I got my 45mm used on eBay with over 1 year AppleCare remaining and no bands, for about half of what a new one would cost.
Screen is perfect but stainless body came pretty scuffed, so I put some work into it and I seriously think it might even be shinier than new.
1. Used a Dremel Lite at level 1 with the 0.5” polishing pad and Autosol. Got all scratches out except for one, and the one remaining was reduced to the point that I really have to look for it. This polisher works really fast and presumably removes enough metal that I wouldn’t do it more than 2 or 3 times over the entire watch’s life. For minor scuffs, I’d begin at step 2.
2. Used Cape Cod pads to remove the notable haziness left over by step 1. Took about 10 minutes. Got it to 95% where it is now, but could see a teeny bit of haze if I looked for it.
3. Used a Mayflower jewelry cloth to shine it up to 100%. Only took about 5 minutes in total.
Although this match isn't unique, it still remains a classic look in my opinion:
Series 8 w/ White Sport Band (2nd Gen)
Classic pair, immortalized by Tim before he started switching it up
I’m almost embarrassed to post this with the quality of some photos here like @athousandbands 😅
I wanted space black for the series 8 so splashed out for the Hermes

It’s all just editing. You’ve got a crispy snap yourself there. These threads could use some SBSS love, keep shooting! I wouldn’t mind some looks at the exclusive gradient face you have…
I prefer prefer your background location better!
Thanks!
Yeah I’m staying with my parents on the Gold Coast at the moment, nice looking out over the activity in the water

I have taken some very nice pictures of my S5 ceramic, very rarely was it one snap. I live by what Timmy said in the seinfeld double dip episode: From now on, when you take a pict - just take one pict and end it!

Was the least expensive Hermes option to get a Space Black.
Haven’t taken it out of the box yet, will do so when I start back at work mid Jan
