What’s inscribed on the flat side of the pin? Can’t really make it out….
This band has been located. And is in a private collection, mine to be exact.

Here is all 27 blue sport bands. Order is below and per Bandbriete. Had to shrink the image down a lot, but the colors look as good as I could get them in the lighting I had.

Interesting that there's a second one out there, which makes me think they were probably test pieces for a new machine or process. That or it's just some guy in china having fun with a laser engraver lol.

Are turquoise and mist blue really that close?

Cornflower is still one of my favorites imo. Cool shot!

Capri Blue is the only blue I will ever need

Yeah - cornflower is TOP tier. And yes, many of them are very similar when in a bunch like this but when you get them lined up you can see the differences. My personal favorite is probably... g2 Blue just for its vibrance - which this photo despite my best effort, seems to have sucked out of it a bit. Even RAW!

Frankly any lineup without Tomales has a huge gap in the spectrum
 
Oh yea, I need that blue now haha...off to the Apple Store tomorrow. The good and bad of having a store 5 mins away. Thanks for sharing the link, great photo!
Thanks, the ocean bands are not easy. Shadows get really intense in the dips where they don’t irl.

Mostly that yellow was a pain. Apple’s canary shade is subtle.

Tried to not overcook the blue, hopefully it satisfies in person!
 
Top 3 blues: Gen 1, Gen 2, Surf. I think that picture has Gen 1 and 2 swapped. Gen 2 is lighter
