Ya lor... Now all the connectors 45mm... Even the one on nomad sports band too. I ocd... See the small gap there i beh tahan....

It's only a matter of time. But I personally feel the current market for 49mm aftermarket bands is pretty niche now. If you are a 3rd party band maker I think making a 44/45mm watch band will sell better, whereas a 49mm will only cater to the minority of AWU owners. :ROFLMAO: .Unless they make bands with interchangeable lugs/connectors between 44/45mm & 49mm haha!

For sure will backorder for first batch if really have.

People say Nomad $300 ex. But i think if have swee swee 49mm connectors Titanium link bracelet, I think $600-700 ppl also hoot without second thought 🤣

The current black Link Bracelet is already $600+. A titanium one would roughly be in the $700-$800 range. Even if it’s at that price range, I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

If it's the exact same shape/design as the current link bracelets, but Titanium & 49mm & $700-800 price tag. For sure I won't buy even I know it's Apple & knowing it'll fit perfect lol.

I would rather wait & hope Nomad comes with with 49mm edition or sell the last link with 49mm connectors that I can swap with my current band. I will gladly pay for it lol (eg. $100 just for the updated link connectors) :ROFLMAO:

Jialat sia. S$629.00 for PAINTED stainless steel. :ROFLMAO:

I think the cost price the most $29 regardless of what high quality SS you use. Then $600 is the infamous "Apple Tax" :D

Cannot be so cheap one lah, they also count manufacturing cost.

Anything is possible lah, It's ultimately still SS. Probably MIC also, but with better QC of course.

Taobao have like $10> SS band. Maybe they cost at most $2-3 at cost only.

Definitely MIC as the main factory is there.

Taobao all these need to see grade of SS and how it’s manufactured. I’ve seen some shops outside selling these kinds of 3rd party bands, it’s just not the same.

Idk SS got what type of grade sia. To me SS is just SS lol.

If use the same SS as Apple's black link bracelet melt down & make into a set of fork & spoon, I use them to eat will huat huat or not :ROFLMAO:

When I buy things like water taps/faucets and kitchen stuff, I know there're the basic differences between SS 304 and 316. Of course there's more, but just for these 2 there're price and weight differences already.

Ok lah the current selection, I’m rotating between my orange Alpine Loop and the midnight Ocean Band. :grin:
Can be made more exciting with a wider choice. 🤣

Apple is what grade u know? :unsure:

My previous SS band vs Ti band weight difference really alot. Almost 30g+ additional. That's like Ti+Ocean band = SS band :ROFLMAO:
