same here. I ordered a new Hermès model SECONDS after release and the arrival date was already September 26th.if anything the black hermes band is gonna worth a lot more than the orange one because its limited edition, plus you're probably getting a black box as the packaging

Herme's site says their watches will ship after September 20 so theres a small bit of hope for us
Of the new band choices, only the space black is shipping 9/20.
1) The new Apple Watch Hermès Noir Swift Leather Single Tour Band has black lugs and black hardware
2) Most of us with SB SS watches have commented on the DLC coating resisting dings and scratches quite well, so those two might be outliers.
I have been going over it in my head for 24 hours, I am gonna keep my s4 ss Hermes as i have all the bands from gen 0 until now and dont want to lose the wearability of those beautiful bands, even with that i'm pretty sure they will all fit nexts years s6 hermes... but dont really love any of the new bands also can't justify buying a second stainless model that is essentially the same as my s4 except for always on. I decided to get the s5 hermes space black as i i have the sb link bracelet to pair with it from my s0 space black as well as the sb milanaise that i kept as well as all my other rubber bands that can go either way. This gives me the ultimate flexibility. I dont want to have 2 silver stainless watches that are identical aside from minor spec change and i also dont feel like selling the s4 ss hermes i have now for a huge loss (to add insult to injury did anyone look at how apple laughs at us by offering us a trade value of $110 Canadian $ for what we paid 2 grand for).....
Does anybody follow my logic? I know I am completely crazy to begin with haha, just wanted to put my 2 cents out there.

Ordered the Black SS Hermes with Noir band...This will be my second Hermes.
Delivery date is Sept 20th
Looking forward to it!

post pictures of the limited edition packaging and black band! Curious to see how they will execute it
Absolutely. I am not upgrading my S4 SBSS for the same reasons - the benefits S5 offers do not come close to being of enough value for the loss I would take on my current watch.
Do you still have the SBSS? Can you please take some pics of it with different bands and Hermès tours so we can see how it looks?
I ordered the SBSS Hermès and wonder if my existing bands will match.
I’ll post some pics when I get it on 20/9.
I’m in Australia so will get it before most of EU and US.
Really wish I could find last years orange/blue/white color block band.
I'm not 100% in love with the blue color block watch I ordered this year but it's my favorite of what they currently offer.
Also, the limited edition black hermes band.... I already have a black sport band. This doesn't seem like it'll be really any different? At least the orange sport band was a unique color when launched.

Good evening, I am going to sell an apple watch series 4 just the edition with the strap you are looking for, the brand new strap can sell you the complete watch for € 850 or just the brand new strap at € 430 shipping included from Spain that It's where I live.
I speak little English but I am a seller of apple products if you are interested we can speak
regards
I meant to say that none of the existing Hermès bands or the 4 that I currently own have black lugs.
My brother and friend are pretty easy on their watches and I couldn’t live with the scratches that I see. Luckily everyone is different though.
No way in heck I can justify buying another Hermès AW!!!
The $110 trade in is an insult for a 1400 watch that’s just 10 months old!!
The watch costs as much as an iPhone, and does less!!
The only tempting reason would be for the always on feature, which after thinking about it logically provides no value... my S4 is on when I lift my arm to look at it, which is all that matters. Why should I care if it’s on while my arm is dangling away from me??? Oh so other people get the pleasure of seeing it??

I typically sell my Hermès watches for about $600 without the bands. If you want to sell the band you can probably get 250-300 plus 50-100 for the sports band if they are in great condition. It’s not an investment so for me I’ll throw the money away on an annual watch upgrade.No way in heck I can justify buying another Hermès AW!!!

I have some pics (Post 82) here: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/space-black-ss-owners-what-bands-are-you-using.2003063/page-4
Note that my Hermès tour is a third-party/knock-off (the real one at 195mm is a bit too tight and this one is 220mm like my Leather Loops) and I did swap the silver lugs (where applicable) for aftermarket black lugs - something I would never do with an actual Hermès band.
Hmmm... really???? If I can go that route then I would definitely upgrade
Everything I have is in great condition.. I learned my lesson last year, did not have AppleCare + and dropped the dang watch (series 3) on the floor of the apple store right before trading it in, broke the screen!!!!
The watch on eBay. The bands on here typically. Or you can sell the new band you get with the S5. That’s another route to recouping more cash. Just need to be careful with eBay.Hmmm... really???? If I can go that route then I would definitely upgrade

If you don’t mind me asking, where do you sell it? Feel free to message me if we’re not allowed to openly discuss on the forum.
I think the S4 Hermès should hold its value pretty well since the S5 looks and performs almost exactly the same.
Thanks for the info! I just realized we have a market place here!! Lol, can tell I rarely venture outside to other forums!!
I ordered the same Watch with same delivery date. 3rd Hermès Apple Watch for me.
Congrats on your purchase
not to derail off topic but the marketplace is open to those who have been members for 6 months and have about 250 posts
I'm hoping for a shade of black different from the standard Apple sport band (unlikely based on pics).
Looking at the S5 SS versions again and I'm glad I got the SBSS. The blue in the new block coloured single tours is not indigo anymore and a vibrant kind of blue and it's not really appealing to me.
I ordered the Space Black S5 but am keeping the S4 Hermès. I actually prefer this year’s “regular” Hermès bands to last year’s, and gave the band to my mother. My S3 Hermès band has held up really well in 2 years of everyday use. I’m looking forward to the Space Black but might get a Béton band to use with my S4 on occasion. I really like that band, too.
