Is this sacrilege? If so sorry in advanced.
Here’s my SBSS S6 Hermès coupled with the official SB Link bracelet.

Wanted a band a little more versitile for daily use then the leather noir band & also something a little nicer then the Hermès sports band

The band yes, of course, is fine. The watchface, I would love to hear people’s opinions on rocking the Hermes faces with Apple bands...the circulaire makes it much more tempting. I can’t do it though, not yet, after a month or two.

I only did it as I did not want to wear the leather band so much and the black Hermès sport band is so wel not so special.

looks great. Welcome to the Hermes club!!!!
Thank you! I forgot to mention that mine still came with the charging brick. I’d thought they were changing their packaging to exclude it, but I guess they haven’t run out of the old boxes just yet.

Wear the leather band! It is made to be worn ?
You would not want to keep it in pristine condition for day X...

Your current combination is very nice as well and no sacrilege, because WE do it the way we like it.

I'm looking to buy a strap from someone on eBay. The listing just says "Single Tour Navy 44mm." I asked if they could confirm what the color is noted as on the box since I know there have been several bleus. They said they got it last year but there isn't any color indication on the orange box. They did say the suede has "667-B369STI" noted in it. Does this seem right or mean anything to anyone? The straps I have all have the specific model on the bottom right of the orange box and nothing on the suede. All my straps are from this year though so maybe it's changed? This is the listing I'm looking at: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hermes-Apple-Watch-Band-Single-Tour-Navy-44mm/274461962747 if anyone has thoughts on what color it may be. Hoping it's the Bleu Indigo but would want to make sure. It has some wear but seems like a good price, yes?

I have never seen the suede/felt pouch marked with the model number. It’s always on the bottom of the orange box. I have 6 Hermès bands and none of them are marked on the suede pouch. I just checked them all.

I think by suede, they mean the underside of the band. That marking is prob a serial that doesn’t help us.

Looks like a bleu indigo band, based on it being 44mm. Great price, especially if you can offer down twenty bucks. Bleu indigo left, navy right.

That looks like the Bleu Indigo to me - the wear seems more consistent with a three year old band than a one month old one.

Another tell: the reverse side of the buckle end should have a date code. The bleu indigo should be an A, where a 2020 Navy band would definitely be a Y. I don't see the date code in the picture though. That helps me be sure it definitely isn't the newer Navy band.

Thanks for the input! I think you all helped figure out what he meant by the number on suede.

I agree. It looks too worn to be Navy. I actually have the Navy but like the Indigo better...should have bought it when I tried it on at the Hermes store in London last year! I'll give it a go with him and see if I can get him down a little.

I hope this band , the Bleu Jean, would exist in Single tour. Specially with deployment buckle.
I really like the Hermès bands with white stitches. Does anyone know of it has existed as a exclusive for Hermès customers or something?

It's a good looking color! This one was released in 2015 as double tour only. :(

Ha talk about double whammy. First Apple Watch AND straight into the Hermès deep end. Love it. Trouble is, now you’ll never be able to go anything else :) Most people work their way up to it!
I got my Series 0 Hermès. I wish the functionality on the first gen is as useful as it is now.

This is certainly Indigo Bleu Single Tour.
Hermes stopped using the size marking with the Series 5. So the Navy doesn‘t have it anymore.

Just a note, if you buy the bands from apple they come the orange box with a sticker on the back that says which band, color and size is inside. BUT if you buy the bands from Hermes directly (web) or in store they come in that same orange box that looks the same as the one from apple but has no markings as to what is inside on it. I have bought from both places and noticed this for years. So to sum up, the box not having a label with what is inside on the back could just mean it was bought from Hermes not Apple store.

Hello first, excuse my English since I do not speak it but for what wrist size is the hermes doblu tour 44mm valid according to hermes up to 170mm you what wrist size do you have.
The best info I can give you is I wear a 44mm size 5 braided solo loop band from Apple, have a look at the measuring tool on Apple site. With my wrist size I am at the middle of all the holes Hermès 44mm double tour.

debating buying the Hermes with the black deployment band. Currently have a Series 4 sport. For those of you that bought it, any regrets on the price difference? I have only had very light scratches on the X-Ion glass, hoping the sapphire is worth it. I usually upgrade watches every 2 years.

No regret, first time Hermès owner. Let’s see, beautiful exclusive watch faces, hand crafted supple leather bands. A two year warrant vs A one year.
Very nice orange exclusive Hermès band and all of the better series 6 features. uhm no regrets here.
