[doublepost=1525185632][/doublepost]Look at what I found on eBay. I can so see Apple doing this after they are done with the solids.

Just got sunflower classic buckle... I really need to stop now...

There’s only one more classic buckle that I wish I could find: the taupe... couldn’t find it anywhere (38mm) :(:(

By the way, I saw the sapphire classic buckle on sale on amazon.co.uk (about £45), and they send to all Europe. Just in case someone’s interested.

I've got Taupe, 38mm.

It's alright, a neutral colour. It's still on the Australian Apple Store I see, however, blacklisted as "unavailable"

Is sunflower more orange? I ordered one (brand new, sealed) off eBay :) Looking forward to receiving it!

I’m so jealous! Hopefully some taupe bands would reappear online someday...

The sunflower is still a yellow color, but it’s a bit more orange and more vibrant than the marigold color.

Ahh alright. Still excited to get mine a bit later

Sunflower, which was only available for a couple of months before getting taken down, is available sealed/brand new on eBay, if anyones keen for a summery band (both 38 and 42)

I wouldn't be, I've got 3 Classic Buckles so far, Taupe Sapphire and Midnight Blue, Taupes my least favourite. It's just really drab. Might look at getting rid of it on eBay!

Sunflower is almost school bus yellow, but still yellower than that.

That's what convinced me to buy it!

I was in search of a 42” Green Apple band and bought from this ebay auction:

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/332627371155

When I received it I noticed it didn’t have the the M/L logo and S/L logo on the inside of the bands. It came in the packaging pictured but I suspect it’s a fake. Also was pretty dirty when received.

Thoughts?
Every OEM Apple Sport band has 3 color coded clasp pieces. Yours are black in these pictures; therefore, not Apple.

It has black magnets. Totally a fake. Here is the one I got last month. Email the seller and get a refund. Good luck!
Great minds...

Definitely a 3rd party band. Apple sport bands have matching color watch connectors whereas 3rd party usually have black ones.
