Lots of yellow love going on. I got my last yellow today and have the full set. If we get decent weather tomorrow I’ll take a family photo, but I’m going to only take reference shots when it’s bright enough from now on.

Pollen is nice But i like to have a stronger Yellow. Ordered Flash. :)
I got Canary to complete my set today and it is very similar to Pollen in artificial light, so much so I was worried I’d waited 5 weeks for another Pollen in an open Canary box, but in a whiter light it is different, enough that it could be my favourite yellow - I’ll see tomorrow in daylight. It looks light a bright yellow yellow whereas Pollen is slightly muted and OG Yellow is very custard.
I keep the boxes thinking I'll use them when reselling, never do, and now have a massive closet of Apple boxes :p Should throw them out I suppose, but seems a shame now!

Me too, except I stupidly didn’t bother with some of my band boxes early on.... Duh; the only Apple stuff that holds value was the one I binned boxes from.
Flash was a little disappointing. more muted than I thought but it is bright.

I want the OG Yellow
As I said above, OG is a custard yellow - nothing wrong with it and my wife has one coming after choosing it from all the others (bar Canary at the time) that I have to compliment her Pollen. She also has an OG Orange coming also - a very red orange compared with more recent shades.
Initially I thought the sell through was just really high. Now I’m wondering if he just delisted and reassessed the price. On a side note, Sunset in Large size has been a literal unicorn for me. I have come across probably 10 different Medium size ones on various sites or in trades. No Larges. I wonder why Sunset (and cornflower to some extent) in ANY size appears so much less common than the other Loops.

It’s time to print more holders.... I have 20 or so not hung up right now Either in a drawer or in the mail.

I kind of don’t want to rearrange them until the summer releases. I was waiting for the 1st and now I’ll wait until WWDC.

Jealous of your Winter 2018 releases. Olive Flak & Celestial Teal are really nice. Violet Dust is another on my list.

I think that midnight fog sport loop is perfection in terms of the colours.

...post some pics when you get this as I'm still undecided on the colour!
As promised. The light is not very good, it has been overcast all day. I have done one on a white background the other on a dark background. But on the wrist it certainly does stand out.

It's finally here: The newest version of the chart is now available for download. 🤩.
The all-new, built from scratch chart is the first one available in high-resolution as PDF with full-text search.

View attachment 921253.View attachment 921254

In the last couple of (very long) days I re-downloaded every single image of more than 350 bands officially released since 04/2015 and rearrange the bands while completed model numbers where possible. The arrangement of colors now more consistent with the updated version of v1 from @emiaj. (Thank you for the continuous updates!) New, better quality images of Woven Nylon International Edition were added as well. The (compact) chart is finally up-to-date. 🤗.

The chart is now available in two versions: A single-page PDF, and a more printer-friendly multi-page PDF with bands from Nike and Hermès on dedicated pages.

To "celebrate" I created a mini-website, where you can download the chart and where you can expect updates in a reasonable time after new bands are announced/released.

Don't worry. Of course, I will keep posting any new updates here, where everything started a while ago.

Download the new chart here: www.bandbreite.watch

Feel free to drop me a line with comments, suggestions and requests.

Know issues: Images are missing for Hermès Single Tour Étain Swift Leather (2015), Woven Nylon Pride Edition (2016) and Hermès Double Tour Médor Deep Blue (2020); Model numbers reflect mostly 42/44m only; Midnight Blue, Pink Sand, and Stone 2nd Gen will be added in the next update (Summer/2020)
Chinese New Year is missing, just realized.

I really like that. I'm tempted, but I just got the peacock leather loop, which is basically the same color, so I am trying to be good.

I was questing for a large Sunset for forever and came to realize that if they ever were on sale in the United States, I never saw it. However, it was available in Europe and that's where I sourced mine. Could be beneficial to look at European sources and sales as i"m pretty sure it was barely available stateside. Good luck!

Juan&Only got one on release and lives in Georgia, but that was at release. I wonder if they just didn’t sell well after initial stock ran out?

Thanks for the tip. I have been keeping an eye on overseas shops with no luck. The listings are still up on a few sites but totally out of stock. Eventually I’ll stumble across one.

I never realized he wore larges. That gives me some small glimmer of hope some random ebay listing will pop up eventually.

Long time lurker here. This thread has only added to more purchases. Getting ready for the Summer bands.

Looks great! Love the magnet mounts! You have some really awesome picks up there too. A ton of heavy hitters.
 
So today we have some winter sunshine, and here is the yellow family in some just inside a window daylight. The photo is straight from my 11 Pro Max, and they’re on a space grey iPad. I’d say mellow is a bit paler than IRL, but none of the baked in editing tools made it any better. I’m going to firm up what I said yesterday; if you only want one yellow Sport Band then Canary is the best option.

Mellow Yellow, Lemon Cream, Pollen, Canary Yellow, Yellow, Lemonade, Flash.

And to try to make amends for my earlier dodgy blue pic:

Blue gen2, Blue gen1, Azure, Surf Blue (edited as I incorrectly labeled as Royal initially)

I’m looking everywhere for a large sunset loop. Do you have a link for where you got yours?
