Hi guys. I just got a new gold stainless steel Series 6 (totally loving it!) and am looking for some band recommendations.

I love the modern buckle but it drives me nuts that they only offer it with silver hardware. I have a knockoff red modern buckle with gold hardware that I’ve had for years, but I can’t remember where I got it and all my internet searching is bringing up nothing. I’d love to get a brown modern buckle with gold hardware as that would go with everything I wear but I simply can’t find anything like that.

Have any of you guys found anything like this? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks guys! I did actually manage to find some modern buckle knockoffs on AliExpress that have gold hardware here. I’m in the US so it’ll probably take me a while to receive them, but I’ll post back when I do! I got the brown and ruby red colors. The brown looks like it might be a darker and richer color than the Apple version, which I like, so I hope that’s actually the case when it gets here!

I'm also looking for one of these (specifically, the Aubergine/gold small version), Apple PN MWRJ2FE/A.

Anyone have thoughts on where to find any new stock of these? Coming up empty pretty much everywhere online, would prefer to stick with OE Apple.


Thanks,
Colin

Interesting.... I didn't realize the 5 and 6 had different colour SS gold finishes.... And if that's the case, last year's Aubergine with gold hardware presumably won't match a Series 6 SS gold....

Paul, I sort of see what you mean.... Still think it's not ideal to not match with the modern strap. Especially with the big silver buckle on the other side....

Does anyone have any pics of the Series 6 Stainless Steel Gold and a silver Modern Buckle? I would love to buy one, but my OCD won't rest if the silver links are too obvious against the Gold case...
