Oh thanks for that. I do quite like the look of the Hermes on there actually. It seems hard to come by though, particular in the bigger watch size but with the S/M strap piece. I’ll do some hunting.

Hermès Fauve Barenia deployment. Makes me smile every time I see it.

Damn, def. one of the fanciest looking combos. I exchanged my old Fauve to new a Gold Hermès Leather/Attelage and made even 150€ on top. I was thinking it would patina like Fauve, but it has never been quite the same. I regret that exchange:D

Have we discussed the observed subtle differences between v1 and v2 alpine bands? The biggest IMHO are the loops are a bit rounder on the v2 bands. This, just opened (not a big fan of the color), starlight i noticed the holes/loops are flatter - where the newer colors are rounder and spongier?

Yeah agreed, when I got olive I noticed more quality to those loops along the lines you’re describing, but I’m glad you have an unused U1 band to prove it more definitively.

Has anyone bought from ‘The Lux Group’ on eBay? They seem to have positive feedback on eBay.

I found they have some Hermes Orange bands, and I think they look genuine but would appreciate anyone’s feedback as they’re not cheap! Desperately for this band though, particularly in the larger watch size but with the S/M strap as that’s my size.

Looks like they bought Chargerstore’s last listing and added 200 bucks. @mikedop did they steal his photos too?

So yes, legit. Authenticity isn’t the issue with The Lux Group. And as always ebay will give you your money back if its fake.

Thanks. Is that a ridiculous price to pay for it then? Was it lots cheaper on Chargerstore?

I wouldn't support Lux. As ATB stated, they just bought Charger's S/M band and are now reselling it for way more than Charger asked lol.

Unfortunately Charger no longer has S/M, his vendors have run out, but there are still S/M halves out there to be found. (I just bought a full Hermes SpBa set with S/M and M/L for $70.)

Don't overpay. Keep an eye out for Charger's listings. He'll likely get more some day.

Ya, @RustyFox, scroll through Lux’s store and decide if you wanna support their MO
