Go with soft white. Antique is too yellowish to combine with space grey (IMO).

Thanks dude....


Here’s the soft white....
I love it

Mine arrived today! Azure and Denim Blue on Gold Apple Watch Series 3 as requested. Azure is the lighter hue.

Wow! Thanks.They are both very beautiful! That's a tough decision for me.
Would you also like to post a photo of pollen compare withe the lemonade on the gold watch, when you're done organizing your (fabulous jealous making) collection?

I’ve recently (REALLY recently) been collecting bands with gold or rose gold pins. So I just got the cocoa and stone 42mm, and I just got the pink sand on eBay. (All for good prices!) Are there others i should look out for?

You can see small dots on the Apple Watch chart, these represent the color of the pins. Not only for the sportband, but also for the woven nylons. I have the Gold/Red and the Yellow/Light Grey Woven Nylon with golden buckle.
[doublepost=1522314652][/doublepost]And while everyone buys new 2018 bands, I have just bought this (Space Orange / Antracite Woven Nylon) in the sale. Very happy with it, I like it better than the the orange sportloop I bought earlier. So that one i will resell. IMG_1271.jpg IMG_1281.jpg

This is very difficult, guys...seeing them in person -- and in inside light vs sunlight -- makes it very difficult to discern. I'll take more pics tomorrow in daylight outside. Here are the yellows and the blues. (Lemonade and Denim Blue do not have their new labels in my pics yet.)
[doublepost=1522283760][/doublepost]Chromatically, I’m rearranging their order bc in person, they are just different than the charts the guys have created here for us. The blues are especially difficult to order when you see them all lined up in a row...it’s amazing how many Apple has come out with lol...pic to follow with the mess on my table at the moment.
[doublepost=1522283896][/doublepost]5th and 6th photos: dining room light and then kitchen light, both different and unretouched...what do you think?

Interesting … here Denim actually looks a little closer to Royal than to Azure. – But you're right, one needs to see them in person to really form an opinion.

Pollen on the top and new Lemonade on the bottom on my Gold S3. Pollen now looks "dirty."

I actually have never been able to get these charts to work in the high res version. I'm iPad-only (sold my MBP because I wasn't using it), and maybe the file type isn't supported?
[doublepost=1522327777][/doublepost]
A little off topic, but have you always been able to buy the black Sport Loop in a large size? All others don't have an option.

Wow interesting. There was someone on here the other day complaining he hasn't gotten a watch because of how few things available in XL.

The file type is supported... but the charts are becoming super huge that the iPad doesn’t even have enough RAM to load them... 2 seasons ago I was still able to open the file on my iPad Pro (it took quite a while, and sometimes crashes after a moment), but now it’s just too large that the file doesn’t even open on the iPad anymore.

Okay, jut came back from the Apple Store. The new leather "Spring yellow" is indistinguishably similar to "Flash" silicone color. The new "Bright Orange" leather is just a little-little-little bit darker than "Spicy Orange" silicone.

Guys, I need your advice. Which band should I select? I want the cosmos blue color, but which style...

Leather Loop for me. It's easier to handle, very comfortable, and you can adjust it ways more better and more precisely to your wrist size. Besides all the facts I like it because it's not a classical band.

to be honest thought about the same thing... the only "minus" is that I have to go to Japan to buy it x_x (it is unavailable anywhere else in the world at the moment...)

Japan is wonderful. There's a store opening in Shinjuku in Tokyo next Saturday (7.4.). Go fo it, and please share some photos. :)

Try MediaMarkt. The band seems to be available in Peine, near Hannover. Not as spectacular as Japan, but maybe you can ask the store to send it to a MediaMarkt near you.

I'm still trying to locate a Light Violet/White 42mm Nike Sport band from last summer's release...<sigh>
Hey, I do have one extra which I don't need - factory sealed!

But I literally do fly to Japan next week, and on 7th of April I will be in Tokyo! For sure I will buy the band there and probably even will make a selfie with Angela Arendts! :D
