I just ordered my 4th Apple Watch, and now I've officially cycled through all the major colors (silver 1st ken, space grey/black/whatever they called it 2nd ken, ditto third gen, and finally shiny silver stainless silver series 6 on the way). But that means my band collection is a crazy hodgepodge of connectors in all variety of different colors---couple of OEM leather bands with silver connectors plus the OEM silver Milanese loop, bunch of third party bands with black/grey connectors, plus a variety of single color ones (OEM sport bands/loops, leather loops third party Milanese loops in all kinds of weird colors, etc.).

Now with the shiny gold one coming, I'd like to have some matching options! I ordered the new one with the brown leather link, since I want to see if a knockoff gold Milanese loop that I have lying around matches it well enough before I buy the expensive new Milanese loop. But assuming that works out, I'll really only have two bands that look good all the way through with my new watch for when I want to look vaguely profesh. Yikes!

So, does anyone know anyone reliable who is selling 3rd party leather/metal bands with connectors that match the new gold color stainless?

As the new Gold is said to be a more yellow gold that looks close(r) to the original Apple Watch Edition 18kt Yellow Gold, that will hopefully make it easier for third-parties to match the color.

Following - I just made the switch from Silver SS to the new Gold SS Series 6.... I'm still on the lookout for a band that will not be too yellow but match the lighter yellow of the new Series 6
