Nice! It's been a minute since I checked, but is that one $80 or whatever listing still there? They think it's worth a ton because it's the "only one on ebay..." lol.

I'm still passively looking for a good deal on a gray stripe. Seems to by far be the most expensive of the pinstripes.

Lol. I think it may have been $89US at one time. Seller had dropped it to $59 obo.
the seller agreed to $49 USD. Still costly…. but looking for this one for a while so I pulled the pin.
now I just need do find a toasted coffee/caramel in 42mm with a silver buckle…… it’s been challenging to find.

Ah, so its the same listing! Yeah they were dreaming at $90.

I'd ask Chargerstore for the toasted coffee, honestly. He's probably got one somewhere.
 
I hope you (& @ivantheipodder) are right about Spearmint, since I have Bright Green - this one seems a lot lighter than it. When it arrives (& if I still can’t figure it out), I’ll post a comparison shot.
What sucks is they can appear as each other depending on lighting. I have times where I can't tell which one I'm looking at unless the OP specifies.

Here's a quick pic under my terrible lighting, but you can see how Spearmint sort of has less saturation than BG. It's also more blue. I'd say it's a relatively safe bet to say Spearmint, but there's always that possibility that the photo is just undersaturated.

Any chance there’s a photo of the back of the band? Spearmint came in 40/42mm (edited: 40/44mm) and Bright Green came in 41/45mm.

It’s not super-clear so I didn’t post it earlier (& if anything looks like it says 44mm to me), but for what it’s worth… (if it IS 44mm and that rules out Spearmint, Beryl? Seafoam?)

My apologies, I meant Spearmint came in 40/44mm. Pretty sure it says 44mm in the photo. That would rule out Bright Green. It looks nothing like Seafoam which did come in 40/44mm. Beryl may be possible, as it also came in 40/44mm. Beryl is quite pale compared to Spearmint though.
 
Long shot, but ISO a 42mm light pink, with at least the M/L band. Going to cross-post this on the marketplace, but wanted as many Watch band aficionados to see this.

Chargerstore does not have one.

I think I bought his last one... oops!

I think your best bet will be to scour eBay and just hope one comes up. You could also email George to see if he has one he just hasn't listed, but I doubt it.
 
Haven’t posted in a while as I’ve been trying to cut down on the amount of bands I’ve been buying.

However, I did a thing recently.

I believe the presence of green is enhancing its overall appearance and making it look exceptionally beautiful.

Just after some advice/any picture comparisons people might have:

1. Is cornflower much different to northern blue? (I have northern blue already).
2. Is azure much different to blue fog? (I have blue fog).
3. Is 1st gen blue much different to surf blue? (I have surf blue).
4. Is royal blue much different to capri? (I have capri).
5. Does anyone have a comparison of stone apple watch edition vs fog? (I have fog).

I will say, all the hero shots are really not accurate as to the bands true colors. I have all the sport bands, and they're mostly all pretty different (some very subtle heh). Here are shots on a semi sunny day inside my house.

1. Yes, they are much different. Cornflower is nicer of a blue IMHO.

Northern left, Cornflower right.

2.Azure is darker, they're similar.

Blue fog left, Azure right

3.Yes, they are different.

G1 Blue left, Surf Blue right

4.Royal blue is great, but Capri is very vibrant. Definitely different.

Royal left, Capri right.

5. Stone apple watch edition? Not sure what band that is - do you mean ceramic?
