Hermès Edition Owners Thread

Taking inspiration from a few posts back, here’s my Hermès collection. The rest are attainable... but alas the Deep Medor Blue may be the one that got away.

At first I thought you accidentally listed all of them. That’s a heck of a collection!

I just learned about the deep blue one earlier today. Couldn’t find any of them though. Looks like it was for sale less than a month. Probably very limited production.

The Noir/Blanc/Gold is in the mail. But to get or not to get the latest season? I feared I’d missed the Orange so glad to see it reissued. Deep Blue Medor on the other hand is probably a case of “will never be able to get”?!

I’d love to see your Ambre/Capucine. I now have both those bands separately but without the azalea belt obviously...

There doesn’t seem to be a big second hand market for Hermès bands? I’m looking for these discounted single tours and can’t seem to find them anywhere.

From what I gather, it was only for less than a few days!

lol that one was my least favorite out of my entire collection. I was torn getting that one. I really, really, really didn’t want to. But it grew on me because it’s such a damn wild color combo. I love bright colors on the wrist to pop against darker clothing. That combo never has fully gelled with me though. In fact, I don’t think I’ve opened its box. I’ll check - if it was from the Hermès store I think the box would be open and I’ll post a pic.

There’s a couple of these bands that are going to take you months or years to wait to appear on the market in mint condition. Indigo/Craig will be easiest to get today in good condition (under retail), followed by Nord and the Ambre (both under or close to retail). Then Noir Brique and Indigo will probably take longer (and above retail) as I think at least one of them was only sold in Hermès stores. The Marine you can find in poor condition (above retail) but finding a mint one close to original retail is the main issue. Or, you might get lucky - which is half of the fun of collecting

What did the marine go for and was it sold at Apple?

Mine came with the Hermès Apple Watch. I am pretty sure that it was later released by itself in Hermès stores (I recall going into an Hermès store with a friend to help him select a Watch and he picked up a Marine and Feu Orange, but I can’t remember which came with the actual Watch - I don’t think Feu has ever come with a Watch so may be it was Marine) but I honestly cannot remember 100%. If you recall the release date then the Way Back Machine might give us a clue. Now that you mention it though I have never seen one come with an original box on the market. I will do some digging.

Also, I don’t think the etchings mean anything. Not saying that the one you think is a fake isn’t but there are variations within Hermès.

the one on the left came with my launch day S2 picked up at an apple store. The one in the middle came with my S5 delivered from apple online store, and the one on the right I bought directly at an Hermès store. View attachment 959970

? The middle one doesn't have the size (42mm) marking!

Where do you think I can find a good condition indigo/craie, ambre and nord?

 

[athousandbands]

I don’t think any of the series 5 or 6 do. My blanc/noir/gold and rouge piment don’t.

My bambou with my S6 doesn’t have the size either. I believe they stopped marking 42mm when the 44mm watch came out.

A half decent to great condition indigo/craie just went up as part of an S4 kit. Might be worth messaging the seller to see if they’d sell it separately.

I paid 550 USD for an unopened one that appeared on eBay last year.

The one listed on eBay? The band is in a very poor condition it seems.

There is a poor condition listing(what are people doing to their bands? Working out and yard work?) and then this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-Watc...386289?hash=item1aa4952071:g:kkcAAOSwADZfaWAp

Not sure if you saw that one.

edit: bottom needs a little love but the top side that everyone would see looks good with my eyes.

Those have been modified. I am not aware of Hermès ever selling orange sport bands with anything other than a stainless steel pin.

The point of the term "unreleased" pretty much is that Hermes /Apple didn't sell it, but that doesn't mean they don't exist, and I'd be very surprised if you've seen the one in the photo or know enough about it to have made any assessment before making such a dismissive and sweeping statement.

There’s a group car lux or something like that on eBay that electroplates the stainless steel editions.

The Lux Group I think they are called, and it's not on e of their creations. I don' pay a lot of attention, but I think they tend to stick to gold rather than black.



A lot of potential products don't get final release for who knows what reason, but some are produced for testing and evaluation. I haven't had the one pictured in hand to see it for myself, but my expectation at this point is they are more likely than not genuine, but never given the green light for release.

Still loving the green! But has he stained the band already? ?

 

[Dstopsie]

Well. My order is still sitting in processing. Have called Apple and Apple credit card support a few times and there are no issues on their end and none on my Apple credit card (which has a zero balance). I was really hoping for an early shipment of my Hermès SBSS. my shipping window of 9/30 to 10/7 is approaching so time will tell if it delivers on time..... to be continued ....

 

[Swenyly]

Your Bambou looks different in that pic, to these eyes.

So @toxtrepla says some of his older ones have the new style and vice versa. So I guess they’re getting rid of the old style still. The Hermès legend is also chunkier and deeper embossed.

And the 40mm ambre has YET another legend style! I’ve blown out the exposure a little to aid us. That’s a 2019 etain/beton far right.

This is actually caused by slightly different manufacture process at the Hermes manufaktura. I got two bands from 2016 that they got the thicker engraving. All the others have slimmer and bit taller font. It really depends on where they have been made.

Amazed you haven't moved yet, mine went from processing to being at my local depot in a day. Still not here until tomorrow as we don't have Sat or Sun delivery here in rural Ontario. I am hopefully you'll meet the early part of that window.

thanks. I’m amazed too. Never has happened before. My prior years orders of my Hermes Apple watches have normally shipped earlier than expected. At least now my shipping window timeframe quoted by Apple is finally approaching.

Cant tell if my crown is "sticky" or just randomly vibrates when I scroll. Anyone else ever feel light vibrations when scrolling? I cant replicate it

I feel the “ticks” from the haptic feedback that they built into the Digital Crown, if that’s what you’re referring to? Happens when scrolling through some menus and whatnot, it’s normal behavior.
