Hey guys. It's official, I'm the first person to buy the official British Olympic nylon band from the Apple Store. It looks great, a bit different from what I thought it would look, but great nonetheless. The box says "international edition" and its written in gold. The employee said it was the first sold, a nice touch to the buying experience (as long as it's true haha).
Some pics attached.
I hope the quality is good and it will age well... any nylon band users to give me some tips?

Is this sold in local stores???? I thought that you can only buy this in RIO?

BTW, great looking band!
 
Looks more like a Costa Rican band.. I guess they have to do a repeating linear pattern so couldn't do a union flag?
 
Very, very nice! I hope the "international edition" will be sold internationally after the Olympics. But for now, a cool excusive for the locals (and athletes).
 
We can only buy 2 per person. If anyone is interested, but it's not easy exporting due to taxes, freight, etc... Let. Me know and I'll see what I can do. Just want not to lose money on it.
[doublepost=1470140644][/doublepost]Also, they cost 329 BRL, which is equivalent to almost 95 USD. Thats how expensive Apple is in Brazil...

Wow that's indeed pricey!

I would totally be in for a New Zealand band (the all black one), but it's probably a lot of money to ship to Chicago...
 
If they were on sale I reckon I'd buy the Netherlands one. I'd love an orange nylon strap!
