SGS with Midnight Blue Classic Buckle Band (old and new buckle). I think the SS parts go surprisingly well with the two-color aluminium body. The difference is far more subtle in person. What do you think? Which buckle do you prefer (I think the old one is a bit more difficult to take off)?

So, old or new buckle? I think the new one is definitely easier to put on and take off, but I'm a little worried it might get scratched very quickly given its size. Also, the new band is definitely thinner and softer.

Okay. I have a question about the Red Apple Sports Bands. How many different Red colors has Apple made? I bought a used one and I'm not sure if it's Rose Red or another Red. The seller didn't have the box and didn't know. I would love to see a picture of all of the Red ones side by side to see the differences in shades. Thanks for any input.
Grab the file at the top of the thread from drop box. It’s got all the colors and the different iterations too. They do a really good job putting it together.

How is Hermès orange different than regular orange sport?

Aside from the Hermès thing on the underside of the metal button

Thank you, but I'm still having a hard time figuring out which color I just bought.

Can you tell me if both generations of Product Red have (Product) stamped on the back of the bands?

Are there any sellers on Amazon that have great quality sport bands in ultra violet and rose red? Those are the two that I'm having trouble finding.

I wish I had bought the 2017 pride one when it was out, but didn't does anyone have this they are willing to sell? I also wish I had the original light blue one when it was released.

Mostly, keep an eye on eBay listings. Otherwise, the ones that have them are hanging onto them. I just sold mine a few weeks ago. 1st gen Blue also shows up on eBay now n then, too.

Guys, I can reserve the last piece of the Medor Hermes band in Europe, but I already have one - so if anybody does need it - please, let me know, I can reserve and buy it for you. Important - it costs 470 Euros in Germany!

the gold threads are agressively shiny - to be honest that's not my style...

That's amazing, by the way, why/how/when did Apple sell it? Do you have any advice for finding it in 38mm?

---

@mackie8 The Mint color is amazing, I got it from the same seller too, very good deal!

---

@kevkmartin @PeterJH3 You folks were lucky, I wish I could find 38mm Hermes Orange under $200...

There's currently only this auction going for $250:
