Hardware Modifications to OEM Apple Watch bands

[mikedis]

I didn't know what thread this would fit best, so I figured I'd make a new one. Anyone ever hardware modify their bands? I recently started experimenting with this, and I came up with some cool examples. My favorite is probably this white Close Your Rings Woven Nylon which is just so clean.

I used a Japan Woven Nylon band from the 2016 International Collection and a 2018 Close Your Rings Woven Nylon. I simply swapped the keepers (the part you tuck the band into) and ended up with this.

When I get my Netherlands Woven Nylon in soon I'm gonna change the keeper over again and have a pure white woven nylon. Should look really cool.

It will look really cool. But not as cool as this mod. I wouldn‘t change a thing.

The reverse, CYR with Japan's keeper, also looks awesome. What country would it be anyway?

I'm unfortunately a little stuck here as these both look awesome and I don't want to swap them back, so now I have to go find another Japan and CYR. Whoops!

I don't know about a country, but this is exactly what it would like if my favourite soccer team would release a woven nylon Apple Watch band. So so good.
