Nope. It’s all in vacuumed bag and vacuumed bag is in a vacuumed box

Picture no. 1, Apple Park Band, I don't know anybody else got this. RARE.
(not even shown in https://bandbreite.watch)
Picture no. 2, Chinese 2017 year, not released, but I got it.
Picture no. 3&5, I have the complete collection of Rio Olympics 2016 Bands.
Picture no. 4: 4-Color Pride Edition 2016, 4-color rainbow.

Of course I am willing to give all of those up for a boyfriend, clearly I am gay XD. just kidding


I have a lot of other rare ones too.

I have 5 USA bands XD

Awesome! I think you’re the only person I’ve seen with all of the Olympics bands. It’s an impressive collection.

The Apple Park band isn’t one I’ve seen before. Have any more information on that one?

Chinese New Year 2017

(The Chinese text translates to “Year of the Rooster”)

Never sold in stores. Never given to employees. No press release. Virtually doesn’t exist.

The gold fibers in this band sparkle in the light, and it’s truly a unique band. A lot of the collectors I talked to didn’t even know it existed. It’s not clear what Apple’s plans were for this band, or why it never publicly released.

If anybody is looking for this band, you can fine them on eBay for about $45. It’s a great band for the price, and I encourage everyone to pick one up!

I didn't think I had any rare bands but I saw the Hyper Grape Sport Loop being mentioned.... so here is my collection which contains said loop! It is my all time favourite band for sure (and is very worn now!)

Bands are lined up in rough order of acquisition... the most recent being the Hyper Crimson / Neptune Green loop.

By the way I live in Australia.

I have about 1/2 of my boxes. ChargerStore does not send boxes with their bands. I will sacrifice a box for a great deal on a band.

 

[Totalshock]

Do you guys save all of the boxes? That would be quite stack!

So because I'm not at all in any way retentive about this kind of thing, I may or may not have a Numbers sheet that may or may not happen to track exactly that detail, and it may or may not currently say:

No Box - 31
Demo Box - 3
Retail box, but not insert - 1
Full retail box - 120

Your mileage may vary. Void where prohibited by law. Maybe.

Our friend iChernov has the full Olympic set as well, both in 38 and 42 size.

The Apple Park band isn’t one I’ve seen before. Have any more information on that one?

Yeah, I‘ve been collecting bands from the S0 on and I‘ve never ever seen a picture of this band or have even seen it mentioned. That one must be super rare.

You have to tell us more about that Apple Park Band - Professor Google knows nothing about it! Enquiring minds want to know...

It literally doesn’t exist.

It literally doesn’t exist.

So you’re admitting to photoshopping it together then?

 

[kashiteiwa]

So you’re admitting to photoshopping it together then?

No I didn’t, i don’t know how to use photoshop either.
I mean if I don’t mention it, this band probably never would be seen.

 

[mikedis]

So you’re admitting to photoshopping it together then?

They’re saying it’s a real band, but has never been seen before. Outside this one copy, it seems to be almost nonexistent.

I’m not sure, then, that you know what the word “literally” means. Perhaps you should look it up.

But that’s not what they said. They quite clearly said said it literally doesn’t exist. If that wasn’t a lie, then this has to be a computerized drawing.

You hadn’t heard that before? People say “literally” without actually meaning anything in a literal sense all the time. It can get confusing, but it happens.

Calm down. This guy has most probably the only piece in existence, which ever was published/shown online. And for sure it never went on open sale. Such bands - officially - "literally does not exist" as - officially - it was never mentioned. I think that's the whole point.

My guess is a proposed Apple Park located exclusive band, which if I’m correct, would mean there’s at most maybe 15-30 in existence. It would’ve been one of those things sent from the factory to Apple in Cupertino for approval, then handled within Apple from there to be destroyed by their destruction management subsidiary. Most of the prototypes would’ve been destroyed, but somehow this one slipped through the cracks. It’s one of those things where you’d have to know a guy who has connections to even think about possibly getting one.

Wonder if it has the "Assembled in China" marking on the lugs....... This is really fascinating.

Sorry. I found another Ultra Violet one year ago for the regular price and sell it, because at this time I don’t like it.
I’m searching every day for rare bands. if I find something interesting I will tell you.

I’d add Hyper Grape loop, and maybe flash and flash light loops, at least in 38/40 mm for these last two.

For any Canadians out there, the 40mm Hyper Grape loop is still available to buy brand new from The Source. Other rare woven bands and Nike bands are available there as well.

Apple Watch 40mm Nike Sport Loop – Hyper Grape

Soft, breathable and lightweight, the Nike Sport Loop is designed for fitness, with selected colours matched to the new line of Nike running shoes.
