New arrival.
Do I open it? Or better store it sealed? But how will I ever know if the band is really in there? 🤔
I know it‘s not like a sealed original iPhone or anything - but how rare exactly are these sealed international 2016 bands?
Got a tip for us?

I know you had to have a special athlete pass or something to buy them in Brazil…so pretty rare!
Also they were made in quite small numbers, apparently. Someone told me it was 200 per country (400 for USA).
I’m not even sure any of mine are retail given they’re all Chargie or Mark Hernandez. I’ve certainly never had a box
Thank you for your input. I won‘t wear it much anyway so for now I‘ll keep it sealed.
Sealed? pretty rare. I know of like two people who have multiple sealed international wovens.
Personally I feel like ever band deserved to be opened, but I know not everyone shares that sentiment.
Nice grab!
too addicted to my numerals duo, but i'll cycle through to do it properly in a week or two
Yr dedication to learning Devanagari…truly unmatched in The Watch community
I ended up grabbing this!Same eBay seller as the Nike band mentioned earlier in this thread has this cool "Retro" Woven Nylon that @Vangeli pointed out shares the same colors as the retro Apple logo. A planned-but-scrapped 40th Anniversary celebratory band?

(just throwing this out there, this seller is terrible at taking photos.)
The rarest of the rare? Ultraviolet 42mm still sealed in sealed outer shipping box. Double sealed ha.

Im kind of over Ultra Violet actually. I mean sure, it's "rare" but really that just means expensive. There's a ton out there on resell markets.
Personally I don't care for sealed bands, either. There's no point in having (or especially paying extra for) sealed bands you won't wear.
It’ll be rare when chargerstore runs out
I have an Ultraviolet that I do wear
