Probably the cleanest possible band ever made for the SSGold. In love.

As far as it being real, does it actually possess the usual stamping? Obviously the leather quality screams real even just based on that picture alone.
It has all the stamping but so did a raft of “good fakes” from 2015...the modern buckle leather is so nondescript that it’s the one I would be ok with being a counterfeit. Did the 2015 modern buckles even have the Vectran weave? Anything to get gold hardware, amirite! There’s an old article that covers it all...

I am actually wondering if the Royal Blue in Pitch’s picture isn’t in fact the 1st generation Blue. That one was more bright and vibrant than the 2nd (more baby blue) generation.
This is my thought. I in turn wonder what royal looks like next to g1 blue (below)...surf is always on watch. Luckily my blue is def from a box, from way before my days of being a Chargerstore whale. I defend him usually, but I think he has his blues mixed up perhaps.
I’ll take some pics of it in my wrist and post later. What are all the bands in your pics, @athusandbands

so, here are a few inside photos

the hardest one to capture is seafood... left to right: mist blue, turquoise, seafoam, fog

Do you happen to have sky blue you could throw in to this shot?

clementine, orange, vitamin c, papaya, peach
View attachment 923460
This is making me want to pick up Vitamin C and sell Papaya, which along with Pine Green is one the only bands in my collection I’m not crazy for. I have to say I like the original orange more than many others here seem to. Do you happen to have nectarine, spicy orange or apricot to throw in there?

top row: ocean blue, Delft, denim, surf, and down on the lower left is horizon blue. IRL linen blue is very close to Delft
View attachment 923463
Delft has been on my list to pick up for a while but now I’m wondering if I should just get linen instead. Choices, choices.


fog, gray, light gray, stone, and coastal gray at the bottom
View attachment 923464
Okay, this inspired me to pick up fog, which I previously think I told @toxtrepla I didn’t line (or was that mist?). Luckily I was able to find it for $14. Do you happen to have soft white to compare the stone to?

On a completely unrelated note I’ve been bummed I could t find a green to go with this bathing suit, but I think the cocoa pairs well:

So it turns out in a neat bit of inverse confusion the band ive been saying is gen1 blue since I first posted my surf blue pics is actually Royal Blue...luckily it’s one of the few boxes I’ve kept and I was coerced into tracking it down today.

Oh happy mail DAY!! Thank you to @iChernov and @toxtrepla for making part of this dream come true!

Bonus, lemon cream vs mellow yellow. I got lemon cream off amazon on sale, but after obtaining this mellow yellow for $12.. I think I can return lemon cream and get something else I want instead. I like the mellow yellow slightly more! Just have to let go of lemon cream... I don’t NEED them ALL. I just want them all. Except blues. I don’t care as much about those.

My mom just got a canary yellow sport band and I love it! So, naturally I’m hunting. What other yellow is closest? Lemonade? Flash? In case I can’t find canary.

If anyone is looking for a 40mm sunshine loop (worn twice), let me know! Would like to sell.
Posted a few pages back but easier to repost than search. Pollen is next closest.

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

I’m looking for the Hermès Étoupe single tour 42mm.
Does anyone know where should I look besides eBay. Thank you very much.
Thanks you. I attach some pics as reference.

Congrats! Is mellow yellow the one laying on top of the box? And lemon cream is in the box? I like the one laying on top.

Mellow is in box, lemon cream is laying on top. They are very similar - but lemon cream is slightly warmer toned, and mellow yellow more neutral to the slightest bit electric? Like slightly more towards the highlighter yellow scale of yellow/green but washed down. You might say lemon cream is more saturated by a tad, bit they are slightly different tones overall. One isn’t a lighter shade of the other, they’re different.

Awesome! Glad everything got in so quick!

I am super jealous of the mellow yellow! It’s the ONLY yellow I am missing at this point. Playing the waiting game now....

so i dont have sky blue; as far as the papaya comparison, that’s something I myself am considering. I think that if vitamin C had come out first, i would not have purchased papaya. they are very similar and i do like the brightness of vitamin C better. its like they are the same base but vitamin C is cranked up just a bit.

as far as the other oranges, i also dont have them, the ones in the picture are all I have right now.

delft and linen blue are very similar, depending on your eyes and ability to see blue, they may offer enough of a difference to justify both, but for me it does not. that’s another one of those that If you have delft, you may not need linen. then again, who needs all the colors i have! lol! I feel like i cant really give advice i dont follow myself, even if it is with other colors.

and fog is a really versitale and nice band. I do love mine, actually, i think that every member of my family has a fog in their collection.

I’m reporting my part of the order got in today too! along with some straglers that had been missing in the mail system, so today was a great day for band!

than you @toxtrepla and @iChernov for coordinating it and having bands to sell to begin with!

Side by side I think I like mellow yellow a bit more. Very buttery and fresh looking.
