The 100 bands I have so far, are bands that I like and wear everyday, rotating among them.
My bands collection consists of,
Hermes, leather and textile
Sport loops
Woven nylons
Leather classic buckles
Nike sport bands
Sport bands
At this point, aside from a couple more colors that I want, I’ve reached the point of I have enough for what I want to wear.
So now it’s time to go for collectible Bands,
International, sport loop and the hard to find woven nylons.
Rare Bands, some of which are mentioned throughout the forum,
Ultraviolet sports Band
Hypergrape sports loop, etc, etc.
Would love to hear suggestions and opinions.

I made a list of hard to find bands to buy, that were the most important to me. The internationals were at the top of the list.

Good Luck, Mike! My fingers are crossed for you! I miss the days when MacBlowouts had all the Woven Nylons and ran really good sales!

I just made a deal on the whole collection of 22 international sport loops in 44mm sealed boxes and south Africa woven nylon band open box that are on the way to me now, I’m so excited to have these in my collection and now I’m on the hunt for other international woven nylons.

MacBlowouts has a listing for international Jamaica woven nylon for $85 if you’re 38mm it’s the last one, if it was 42mm I would grab it.

That’s wonderful! It took me almost two years to find them all. I got lucky. The last 4 WNI’s found me. Two fellow collectors with ones to sell contacted me when they saw my list on Mike’s Discord of the ones I was looking for.
I hope you find the other ones you’re looking for!

Do you keep them sealed or wear them?

I was only able to buy one sealed WN and the other 13 I bought in unworn condition, with no box. Almost all of my SL’s were sealed. I’ve worn them all. I baby the WN’s and am careful with the Sport Loops. I seem to baby all of my Woven Nylons, not just the Internationals.
What about you? Are you going to wear yours?

I haven’t decided yet, I have an extra USA sport loop and a Brazil woven nylon that I will wear as for the sealed sport loop collection I will try to make some kind of wall display for them. I’m on Discord as well
(sas007497) so that will be my best place to find the int. Woven nylons I need.

Chargerstore is a good source for bands, I’ve bought multiple times from him, and he will accept offers.

Debating the white ocean band as I’ve got a couple of pairs of running shoes in white but worried it’ll only look good one month a year as I’m in the UK 😅

Just picked up some more internationals myself and once they deliver I'll only need Mexico to go complete, and I think a friend has one he's wanting to sell, so here's hoping.

Are you going for the Italy Woven Nylon Prototype?

I saw that Italian prototype, nice but my priority is to complete all 14 bands first, I’m working with someone on Australia and Uk, new but no boxes. Good luck with finding your Mexico Band.
