From everything I’ve seen and I have not been to a Hermès store, all of the deployment are silver. my Noir had black hardware.

Looks great! Was sort expecting a darker yellow though.
Here it is in natural daylight. Def pick up the Poppy Leather Link, then. It’s so dark it’s basically light orange.

Hey guys, recently purchased my First Hermes Apple Watch in Space Black with Noire Single Tour. I purchased the Space Black for the DLC making it more scratch resistant, but the creases and wear in the single tour are driving me crazy. Black with the black band also looks a little too plain, even though it is still nice. Is it worth exchanging for a Silver SS with Noire Deployment Buckle? I know silver will be very prone to scratches which is the only thing that puts me off.

For the creases and wear - it is a leather band, it will get worn out in time, call it patina and enjoy it. You appear to like it. The stainless steel will get micro scratches if you wear it but it can be polished easily with "Cape Cod" polish.

I prefer the SBSS. I then purchased the Noir deployment clasp separately. I knew after having Series 5 Hermès in SBSS I wouldn’t be happy going back to SS (My series 3 and 4 Hermes were both SS). With the single tour bands I just handle them more carefully when taking them on and off and I rotate my bands every few days. I have 6 Hermes bands some sport loops and sport bands so I just rotate. I’m not a fan of seeing micro scratches on the SS all the time so that is why I got the SBSS for my Series 6 Hermes also.

When I bough my Étoupe band at the Hermès store a couple of weeks ago I. Asked if it was posible to replace the normal buckle it comes with for a deployment buckle. And they told me that they don’t do that . I even call customer service to see if it was posible to order a replacement of that deployment buckle, which they told me not.
I would still like to get a deployment buckle for my band but don’t know how.
Has anyone done that?

i think the Lux group on eBay can replace it with the deployment clasp. Ask for Tim there.

the Lux group on eBay can do that. They can put the Hermès deployment clasp on any Hermès band you want. Contact them and ask for Tim. I contacted him myself for that very reason. I haven’t done it they but I believe he said he does it.

Thanks for the advice guys, Apple offered to let me keep my current watch until the SS Deployment arrives, but I think I'll stick with the SBSS for now and hope they release a SB Lug Deployment Buckle in the future. I'll just rotate the Hermes Single Tour strap with my Nomad strap to keep it in good condition.

eBay US has 5% bucks back for a few days to celebrate Halloween and it always makes me a little crazy. Lowballed this UK seller on the white allover Della Cavalleria double tour and ended up grabbing it for $302 shipped before tax, what do you all think?

I’ve managed to grab fauve, etain, and Bordeaux double tours all at $200 but I feel like this one is worth the extra benji, no? Pretty much mint condition.

The more pressing question is what my mom will do when I give her three new Double Tours for her birthday this summer

that's a great deal! i'd go for it. i'm having some back on forth on a few bands on ebay at the moment heh. some of the asking prices seem crazy to me; i know these bands are out of production, but $999 for something that was $349 or something new, no?

Yeah it’s like intellectually I know basically $200/40% off is amazing but there’s always that nagging feeling that if you wait long enough a seller will come along who is happy to take that nice $200 chunk for any Hermes band because it’s instant solid cash money.

Let me guess....the Lux Group? Yeah, I see those and I can't explain it. I saw one listing for the Ebene without the buckle for more than what a brand new one with all the hardware costs on the Apple site.

SS > SBSS > Titanium > Hermès
I keep upgrading and I finally pulled the trigger on a Hermès. Very happy with this purchase.

Went simple and classy with a Fauve Barenia Single Tour. Love it because orange is my favorite color haha!



Is this the 40mm or 44mm?

i'm enjoying space black stainless. i think i'll go back to regular stainless for series 7, whenever that is, for the wider range of band pairings, but for now i love the way the polished black case and the black background of the watch face screen give the sense that the watch is all screen. reminds me a bit of the jet black iphone 7 days!

went with the black rallye today, full imperial look.
