Gold link bracelet on gold steel series 4

a good enough match for now until I can yoink a gold titanium watch, which I’m basically only interested in because of this band

Been looking for this match of gold link bracelet on a gold stainless steel Apple Watch ⌚️ 🔥!!!

But on series 6-9 it’ll be more yellowish and may clash; I may have to try it on at Apple Store.

Apple Watch Series 4 and 5 gold is a perfect match with the S10 gold link bracelet!

Peony silicone solo loop (my first) on a rose gold AW10. I measured halfway between 4 and 5 with the measuring tool and since I don’t like tight bands, I ignored Apple’s advice to size down. The 5 feels just right..hope it doesn’t stretch too much.

Dang thanks for letting me know it’ll not match gold stainless steel AWs… I was wondering how it would match these models!
As I said in the post, it’s a good enough match, but the link is a little less saturated and missing that rosy bronze hue of my GSS4.

I will not hesitate to wear my gold-hardware modern buckles with the Gold Ti watch, as I already wear Edition demo modern buckles in rose gold and yellow gold with the GSS4.

The Link Bracelet … after all these years still the GOAT. I‘m so glad they were re-introduced with the Ti Watches. Natural Ti Link on Natural Ti Watch is just 👌

No you’ll be good, you’d have to wear it every day for it to stretch and even then, it’s not so bad.

Still waiting for the busy holiday period to calm down for @the future to post his video showing us how to put on solo loops to avoid stretching 😉

And a positive bargain compared to the Hermes rolex band

Yeah, it’s crazy how „cheap“ 349$ can feel in comparison 😂 It also helps that the Link is indeed cheaper now than when it was first introduced (even without considering inflation).

I‘m sure the Grand H is an extremely high quality band, but to me personally the chunky(er) design kinda overwhelms the rather minimalistic Watch itself, especially the thin/flat S10.

Yeah, I completely forgot about that … 😅 Although I feel the video will play to an audience in the single digits, I‘ll see what I can do. But @SusieS needn‘t worry either way as we already concluded that it‘s only/mainly the braided version that has a stretch problem.

Hey, have you heard about the Apple Watch Edition series 0/1st generation modern buckles and classic buckles? I thought they could match the yellow gold finishes of Apple Watch Series 6 to 9, but I guess it’s a slim chance to get an Apple Watch Edition strap or watch off eBay or auction sites. It was really expensive when it was sold at Apple.

There was this thread I remember reading where people talked about the raspberry and aubergine modern buckles and how their gold lugs matched up with different gold Apple Watches. I also saw how it looked on a gold Series 9. The tone difference is pretty noticeable, if you look closely.
 
A crazy person should mirror polish their Hermès Ultra and wear it with a Grand H. That could actually work, proportions-wise, and might be the ultimate flex (if flexing is your thing).

Yeah I have the demo versions of the Edition modern buckles from Chargerstore and the two retail bronze gold pieces you describe from S5.

I also have sunset and forest green MoBu with modified hardware i swapped from Aubergine.

Should all be in this thread if you search

I remember asking about the modern buckles when I posted a pic of my sunset modern buckle months ago.

Also the modifications you made on the sunset too.

Knew you get the official demo edition stuff from chargerstore, that eBay seller is known to sell Apple Watch demo stuff decommissioned from Apple Store. Even Apple Watch Studio leather mats and the demo fixtures.

I think peony takes it for this season's best. waiting for a deal, but will definitely want one sooner rather than later.

then again, might be better to get it now? Still haven't seen sunshine for a deal price in my size.

Don't take this the wrong way, just my own curiosity. Is english your first language?
 
Immediately going off topic with this not released but wishful alternate universe band, not sure how many have seen it.

Celebration sport band - a cancelled special edition for the Series 10 Jet Black watch that would have celebrated the 10th anniversary of Apple Watch. Only reason I'm posting it here is because I can see a very small chance Apple releases it in April, but with the band physically being engraved "2014 - 2024" i dont think it's at all likely.

Super awesome pattern on this guy.
