Grade A in a medium? If so I might buy it when it's back in stock
Grade B medium, visually it's was a grade A to me but the smell just put me off.
I'm yet to see the stone strap I returned pop back up on the site. They did say to me that they return the strap to the store it come from so it may take a while.
I just received three modern buckles. One totally sealed and two opened but new in the box. And all three had boxes and came in total for 127,50 with shipping and afterwards 33 pounds for shipping with Forward2Me to Denmark. Compare this to 3x209 pounds in Apple retail stores.
But I'm surprised by the high retail price of these bands. They don't feel as ridgid and high quality like the classic buckle but that's just my opinion. I think most retails prices for the watch and straps are 2x as high as they should be.

Got my CEX order today, looks pretty good came in an opened box, but still original, so looked like a slightly used Midnight Blue Sports band. Not sure quite how they decipher there rating system, but it is either a high B or low A rated by CEX as an A.
Hey guys.
From what you wrote I was enthusiastic and pulled the trigger and bought the grade B black link bracelet for apple watch.
Received the order today!
It is a second generation FAKE. Not even a 4th generation.
I am really shocked
Are you sure that you got original ones?

I'm surprised that a fake managed to get through. I'm 100% sure all mine a genuine Apple straps.
Anyone seen the prices today?
Absolutely laughable, £28 for a sports strap.
I won't be buying for a long time at these prices. An grade A medium black leather loop popped up the other night for £55 and I was humming and arr'ing about that for a while, glad I didn't but that's gone up to £65 now

I paid £18 for mine, I'm shocked how much they've gone up.
£32 for a product red sports strap, may as well pay full price for a brand new one.
The lighter blue sport band was £5 4 weeks ago nearly, now it's £18 haha. Someone remove "bargain" from the thread title.
For a sport band anything above say £15 (£18.50 with £2.50 p+p) doesn't justify getting a used band, it's only £39 brand new from Apple.
Very true. Wonder how long it's going to take for the stock to build up so the prices start to come down again.
I can see a lot of their strap stock will sit on there for a while now until it goes back down in price, or until some poor soul coughs up the money their asking for.
£290 for a used grade A SG sport 42mm no strap.
Or....
£280 for a brand new one with everything that comes with it else where.

Got a reply from CeX the other day and was promised to get an authentic replacement. The fake was sent out and will update with pictures when I get the new one.
Well. This one has a happy ending - I just got a £6 partial refund on my white strap taking the cost down to £8.50 with P&P. It came with everything I needed for the wife to wear it anyway, so despite a lengthy ping pong email conversation I'm quite happy with the end result. Truth be told best I was hoping for was £2.50 back as goodwill refunding my postage.
