Nevermind... an hour later I already have a shipped notification and fedex tracking #. I'm pleasantly shocked!


I really want the Orange Swift strap but Apple doesn't have it available on their site. I saw it was available on Hermes' site so I placed the order a few minutes ago (along with a Fauve Attelage).

What is Hermes' shipping update steps? Mine currently says "In Preparation". Is the next step "Shipped"? Anyone order from Hermes directly recently that could give me their order to delivery timeframe? I'm in the US if that's relevant.

Finally joined the group... after wearing space gray aluminum AW4/5 for the last two years, decided to get a different finish/color and went for the Hermès model. Picked up the watch with étoupe band the other day... couldn’t be happier...

I‘ve one question to the Hermes experts in this group here. Does the SSSB always come with a black sport band and a black box?

I‘m asking since I found a SSSB on ebay but it comes with a orange box and orange band. I‘m wondering now if it has the black watch faces though.

Should come with a black sport band. The black box was only for the very first Hermès SSSB models of Series 5. The rest of the series 5 SSSB and all series 6 SSSB have a orange box.

I would ask them what happened to the black band

Thanks for the quick reply! Are all SSSB coming with the special dark watch faces or are they reserved for some special versions?

LOS ANGELES BABY!!

all SBSS come with the noir faces. The SSS models do not come with the noir faces. As long as you purchase the SBSS you receive the noir faces. The SBSS Hermès Series 6 comes in an orange box with the Noir band with black logs and the black Hermes sport band. The inner soft felt pouch that the noir band comes in is black, but the box itself is orange. My Series 6 SBSS boxes were orange with the only item being black was the inner felt pouch for the noir band.

if the SBSS series 6 comes with anything other than what I stated above then those items have been switched.

Nah, no part 3 - those would just most of the AW Sport straps released plus backups of backups of all of the white and grey ceramic straps released.

Was wearing the ICO strap that came with my S4 in heavy rotation and worried I'd stain the craie half with my indigo dyed workshirts and bought a backup, LOL. With the Noir, thought it might be a limited release strap and doubled up. Usually I'll double up straps that get a lot of wear. Ugh I do the same with some of my kicks, LOL - it's a really bad habit......

Question for all you folks that own both official Hermes deployment and single tours. On the site, it states the single and deployment both fit writs up to 195MM. Do you find this to be true that both are the same in length? I simply ask because by my calculations my wrist is around 185MM so I am going to be close on both. Have a single tour headed this way but really thinking about buying a deployment. Thanks!

I don’t have both but both my single tours fit on my wrist with the second hole. My wrist is 200mm
