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.
Yeah def but its random. Sometimes ill feel them sometimes I dont. Must be a glitch in watch os. ??

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.
Move to the US...my entire collection save lime retail and a sample colvert is secondhand, though not all used. This slightly evil US/Japan only app Mercari helps. Everything has an offer button?

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
You will also feel different level of haptics depending on the size of the cell you’re scrolling. That might make it feel glitchy.

The bambou single tours are now sold out in the Apple online store and Hermès store in Australia. That didn’t last long. Maybe that was the first batch and they’re making more?

Soooooo. I called Apple again about my order, and was able to gain some useful information from my rep. He stated that my Hermes 4mm SBSS Noir is shipping from CA and that Apple has been meeting the time frames quoted for shipping on their Hermes models.

So having gone through this before, it means they will ship it from a location about 60 miles from my house. This explains why it hasn’t gone to preparing to ship for me. When it does reach that status it will ship out without being in preparing for shipping very long and I am expected to receive it the next day.

anyways hopes this helps others

Where did you find this below retail?
Love that combo! Might look even better with the top strap of the indigo/craie/orange?
That site that’s Japan/US only I was telling you about, Mercari. It’s much more people dumping at garage sale prices than professional sellers who want top dollar. It’s crazy the deals I’ve swung. The seller also has an ok deal $270USD for what appears to be bleu indigo and a meh $361 fauve double tour, which as an evergreen color can be had for far less new.

I tried it with craie from my craie/bleu and it was hideous...I guess too much warm tone can be an issue. Plus the bleu belt was too much.

Well done, hope it actually gets there soon! Mine just arrived so they undershot the target date. Lets hope yours as well.

I’ve been looking through the Japanese yahoo auction sites, Mercari and Rakuten via the Buyee app and I was able to score a good condition indigo/craie/orange and a brand new Bleu Lin/craie/Bleu du nord for under retail.
Super happy about that. Will post pics when I receive them.

How did you rationalize or what inspired you to get the Hermès AW? I had intended to get another stainless steel when the S4 first accepted pre-orders, but they quickly sold out of steels! At that time usually the aluminums sold out quickly. I thought about my little dilemma and the only way to get a steel AW on Launch Day was to buy a Hermès AW on Launch Day at a Hermès store. I called a few days before Launch Day and they said they will put one aside for me. The sales rep calls and tells me they’re in, a day before Launch Day, and was prepared to sell it to me that day, but then she encountered someone in the store and I was told it was against the rules and had to wait until Launch Day to buy it. The AW wasn’t in a cellophane wrapper like you would get from a purchase at an Apple Store. One box had the AW and another box had the band, just like how they do it now. I got the sense they were plenty of AWs available and I didn’t need it to have one set aside. They tied a ribbon around the two boxes and off I went. I got the band with a deployant buckle since i never had or used such a buckle.

Oh goody that sounds like fun. I’ve really gotten into hunting in-store pickup for iPhones since the X and I’ll miss making the journey the next phone I get.

Do you folks want my hot take on the whole deployant/deployment controversy? I think Apple, in their characteristic occasional overthinking, maybe knows this deployment word is kind of bogus and maybe undercuts their “horology” message, but has a steadfast internal style generals that prevents them from pairing a French word with an English word. Akin to their pluralization peccadilloes.

Received mine yesterday. Ordered on the 16th and it came with the charging brick so I guess I missed the cutoff date :).

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

Interesting photos! Has the printing of the Hermes logo on the front of the buckle changed at all over the years?

Hello all!

I've been following this thread for quite some time and it inspired me to FINALLY pick up a Hermès S6 to replace my SSS4. It will arrive this week and the extra bands I ordered are already here and somewhat lonely.

Thank you to all for all the great info here!
