Yep no edition. Just the Hermes.

I will go for 44m SS Space Black i think

This is a tad annoying for me as I got the ceramic as my daily work/gym watch as it's so scratch resistant. I had a SB SS and actually scratched it, so returned it for the ceramic which is pristine to this day. I wouldn't go Hermès again as the Fauve Barénia band is too delicate (stained badly from sweating) and can't justify the increase just for a watch face.

Perhaps that might increase the chances of selling my Series 3...? Still on the fence though as the micro scratches on the SS did my head in.
Just be aware that you will not even get half the price that you paid for the ceramic.

I tried selling my ceramic for $500 around Christmas and over the last month, $400. Still no interest. I'm going to try again for $400.

Yeah, I can't afford to lose that, so that's why I'm on the fence.

I sold mine today for £500. The Space Black SS is more durable than the standard SS. The thing is that i loved my Ceramic. As AbDulka,im says they are durable and mine S3 was pristine so its disappointing that they are dropping the edition range......unless they make a surprise announcement.

It is more resistant, yes, but I just found it clashed a bit with what I wear to work... mainly blue suites and brown shoes lol

No ceramic?

Damn.

I love the SBSS but I swear the SS watches feel heavy at the end of the day.

If there’s no ceramic it looks like I wil go with the SBSS

They obviously didn’t sell as many ceramics as they had hoped so could be why the edition range is scrapped

I had the Space Black series 0 so I’m a bit reluctant to get it again.

Maybe the gold but with a black strap to match the iPhone

The Ceramic was overpriced and I believe that was truly likely the reason why they discontinued it. Most consumers are going to opt for the aluminum model being the most favorable, and stainless model is extensively higher priced. If somebody wanted the durability from the ceramic, then I would opt for the space black stainless with the DLC coating.

Well I am glad i have my S3 white ceramic and will likely keep it. The upgrade to an S4 is harder to justify for me.
