Crap shoot with buyer shipping from China and takes returns and buyer must pay.

So if you get shipped a knockoff does EBay say to follow sellers instructions or just refund?

it's the same one as in this thread, he appears to sell other genuine bands (SB Link Bracelet & leather ones). I haven't heard feedback on others like Sport Bands.

I've bought an open box Space Black Link Bracelet and an open box White Leather Loop from him and they're both the real thing (I have compared them to new-in-the box items from Apple I own) and flawless in quality.

I have also looked at his Classic Leather Buckle pictures and they match my new-in-the-box items, as well. So I believe he has Apple OEM factory product and not third-party knock-offs.

He does also sell refurbished, pre-owned and factory-reject items (things with mis-aligned / mis-sized text) but he notes that in his description and will include pictures of any defects.

Damn I was literally 30s too slow for that rose red. Ah well.

Do you guys think this is the rose gold modern buckle band from 2015 Apple Watch Edition?

it looks greatly depreciated tho..

 

[CWallace]

I'm inclined to believe it is. The buckle mechanism matches pictures of the original model and the leather looks like it matches.

As for the price, it looks like the underside of the buckle mechanism is not gold (brass, perhaps?) so it might be that the band was gold-plated as opposed to the solid gold used in the watch case itself.. The condition is also a bit rough, IMO.

Still...be a great match for a Gold Stainless Steel.

hmm might be worth it too considering it's a rarity even with the rough condition..

That was part of the Millennial New Year collection.... I don't collect those.

Any suggestions of where to sell bands? This forum doesn't let you access the Marketplace until you have a minimum number of posts no matter how long you've been a member and the Reddit marketplace in my experience is just filled with people why say they want to buy a band and then never reply/pay.

eBay really seems to be a good place. That’s where I’ve bought a lot of mine.

Something I've noticed is that the blatantly knockoff sport bands don't seem to color match the plastic in the connectors to the watch, they just use black. Are there counterfeit bands with the properly colored plastic bits?

Looks like he now has the 18-karat Yellow Gold Bright Red Modern Buckle, as well: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-A...m=173864746628&_trksid=p2046732.c100040.m2060

During the keynote in September Apple not only introduced the Apple Watch Series 2, but launched a few new bands (and/or new colors) as well—for the fourth time since Apple Watch goes on sale in April 2015. Unfortunately Apple discontinued some of the bands again, so I decided to do some research about every Apple Watch OEM band ever released. This is the result, and where the story begins.

I highly appreciate your support and all the feedback so far, it helps me a lot within the process and
the finalization. It also helps to be as accurate as possible. Thanks!

Because this thread is a sticky thread now, and watchaware.com posted a lovely post about this few days ago, I decided to clean up everything and deleted all the previous versions to minimize confusion.

And yes, I will continue to update every single pixel as new bands are announced.

Version 2 (Compact)

*** UPDATE Fall/2018 — January 12, 2019

So, what month of the year does Apple typically release new bands? I know it’s a seasonal thing, but is there a typical month when they release them for each season?

March and September are the big ones, and usually a June/July and December/January will bring a few more.

checking my last 18 months of purchases i got new bands in march, june, september and december, i usually get them within 2-3 days of release

 

[ApplePersonFreak]

Bought spearmint, and now tempted to get Delft Blue. I have blue horizon, but the delft blue is gorgeous to me.. Decisions decisions. Papaya is a unique color, though.

I think for Spring 2019 they were released on the first day of spring. I feel like Winter 2018 was within a few days of the first day of the season? So...there's 4 seasons, seems like new bands 4 times a year

I asked about the months because I’m attending a work-related Pride event on June 1. Would be really cool if Apple released a new Pride band BEFORE the month of June so I could pick one up for the event.

 

[JoshCalvetti]

I would be surprised if they release a new pride band before June 1, it normally shows up after the keynote at WWDC
