Cerulean Sport Loop, the forgotten beauty
Last edited:
One of my top favorite SL 😍
So nice to finally be able to pair it with a “light” mirror finish watch. Old gold was always a tad heavy for it.
I neglect Cerulean and Cornflower; I also can never remember which is which. That one looks like Cerulean but it might be the lighting. Def need to photo both before we lose ourselves to S8 szn.
No, you're right. I keep getting confused with the names. It's Cerulean of course. I've edited my post... I must remember that I don't have anything Cornflower in my collection. It's my subconscious telling me to fix this! 😂
Looks gorgeous on your new "light" gold. Even good ol silver SS is too heavy for it. My favorite watch to wear this band is my Nike S6 silver alum; I guess it must look great with Starlight. Titanium is also a worthy alternative.
Its still incredible those two sport loops were released the same spring/summer. Cerulean is such a powerful shade, a little sad it didn’t get the quadruple release like Cornf in a separate fall/spring. But then Cerulean got a face color?
Start with the Cornflower Leather Loop, kinda a tough find but the sport band is kinda covered by Northern Blue and Cornflower LeLoo is most colorful byfar.
We need a trick for remembering. We go picking cornflowers in the day, so it’s light out = lighter blue and orange. Cerulean is the color from Devil Wears Prada, a film with a look at the dark side of a workplace/industry = darker blue and orange.

That's true Apple logic 🙄😆
I don't have any LeLoo's, I might give this one a try though, bearing in mind I have big watches but small(ish) wrists so chances are quite minimal I'll find one in my size, but then, we never know!
Good one 😅 I'll try to remember that!
Oh that’s a good point. 150mm is the smallest leather loop size, compared to 145 for the sport loop, 140 for the sport band (45mm). So I guess sport band only goes down to size 3 solo loop length.

I support your right to have that baby cinched all the way around, tail to watch 😙. Get a Sunset while you’re at it, no sweat.
I’m trying to figure out what’s girly?
Me too.
@athousandbands : better shots of Cerulean. Wasn't quite happy with the pics yesterday...

Ti naturally upgrades the photos!
Charcoal BSL is here! It's my third Braided Solo (plus Atlantic Blue and Pride), all open boxes/lightly used, but this is the largest one of the three. Can't tell if it's because it has been used more of because of the "natural" variations of lenght from braided solo to braided solo. They are all in the same size. I'm not complaining though, I'm not bothered by the little difference and I'd rather save 60% of their price than having them sealed but with full price.
Suggestions on how to wash them properly?
Suggestions on how to wash them properly?
Soak in dish-soap-y water, gently rub out dirt with your fingers on lighter colors. Or put in a zippered compartment of clothing in the laundry. I haven’t had luck with the dryer shrinking it but some do.
I wear size 4 solo loop and wear leather loop as small as possible, but it is fine. Not too loose.
Another fun pair of faces to color in with watchOS 9, using the generic red and green custom faces:
Unrelated: i dislike that there is wasted space in the upper left corner.
Ironstone... that band is an all-timer. Under-the-radar classy. In my top 3 bands.It’ll look great on your future Graphite as well!
