I'm a little surprised by how scarce the FW23 yoinks have been. There was a light pink that went for 20 on mercari, but other than that, 45mm has had like no 50% sales yet that I've seen.

Granted, I also haven't been checking.
It’s mostly been Starlight and Midnight sport loops. I am still looking for the Light Pink and most of the Nike color flake bands.

Yeah I lucked out with Blue Flame but so far it's my only buy this season. I'm yet to find another good cheap one.

Looking for a couple of comparison photos, if anyone has them already snapped (or a link somewhere in this thread)…

a) the light purple fluoro/cone bands — Lavender, Lavender Gray, English Lavender, Purple Fog (Apple/BandBreite would add Lilac, I guess, lol)

b) the light pink fluoro/cone bands — pink sand(s), chalk pink, light pink (gen2)

Gracias!

I wore the FW modern buckle for a week straight and have worn the magnetic links for one day each and had no issues with scuffing on the visible areas of the bands. There are impressions around the buckle and impressions where the links touch but the leather bands also had these impressions.

A pink comparison:
Light Pink is basically 'Chalk Pink'. My iPhone 13 Pro case (chalk pink) for reference.


Pink Sand G1, Pink Sand G2, Vintage Rose, Light Pink (OG).
