Oh well I’ll throw in some black link pics as well! I don’t think I’ve photographed it on my gold. And yes all angles. I’ll prob make a quick video too, shoot! See what these black-exclusive Hermes faces are all about.
Got a tip for us?

Does anyone have or know where I can find pictures/videos of a SS silver but with a noir band? I want to see if the contrast of the silver/black hardware is that bad. I'm leaning toward a SS, but want a black band as well and can't really see myself paying an additional $300 for a deployment clasp with silver hardware when I can get an extra band for that cost =/
You may have already seen this...not the best image but is from Apple's studio: https://www.apple.com/shop/studio/apple-watch-hermes
If this doesn't give you what you're looking for and you can't find another one, I can take one for you. I'm currently traveling and my noir band is at home but will be back in a couple days.
Thanks! Yes, I have looked thoroughly at the product images from the Apple Studio and gone back and forth quite a bit between that image and the other bands. Do you use your noir with your SS?
I'd consider the space black watch for unity with the black band, but that will definitely limit me with other bands in the future, I feel.
I haven’t gotten the USPS daily email so I don’t think my carrier is coming early like she sometimes does. I don’t think the seller is giving me the long Hermes box but if he is, that for sure means it’s coming separately with the parcel dude who has the bigger boxes, which could mean 6-9pm pacific, sadly. I really want to work out with the blood oxygen feature tonight, fingers crossed!
Edit: says delivered!
Totally makes sense! So you’ve got an Hermès edition coming in or the strap?
Both. Somehow this guy let the whole kit minus the sport band go for half price. Here’s a quick look with my Gray Edition while the watch charges and I make room in my phone. Excuse the gunky screen.
It’s very cuff-y and way more dressy than my athleisure wardrobe but I’m selling the watch on so it might end being very low cost.

I don't actually use the black noir band much at all. I have both the SS and the SB Hermes watches. I have a black deployment with silver hardware that I tend to use on both when I want a black leather look. The contrast of the silver hardware with my SB watch doesn't bother me. I also use the black sport band with both and the black band w/SS watch doesn't bother me either. Happy to send you some picks of the SS watch with the noir band in a few days if you'd like.
Looks sharp! I tried the double and it didn't look good on me. I have smaller wrists and it felt more "bracelet-y" than the way it looks "cuff-y" on you.
Thanks for pics! Out of curiosity, what are you two measuring at the wrist? I’m 6.3-6.4 in and within the range of the double tour, don’t know if I’m going to be cuffy or bracelety.
Let me try to recreate the math I did to figure out if it would fit.
44mm Double Tour is 145-170mm. There’s 9 holes, so that 2.78mm per hole. I’m using the second largest sizing, so I’m 170mm minus 5.55, therefore what you see in my pics is a ~164.5mm wrist. I’m a size 7 for Solo Loops, if that helps.
Here’s some untouched shots of the single tour on silver stainless for @JoeyK, since it’s clearly Noir day. This seller has this band available for $150 on Mercari right now, too. Crazy deals on that janky app.

Wow, thank you so much @athousandbands for the pics and @dyfine for your help! I appreciate it 
I actually don't mind that contrast as much as I thought I would since the hardware matches the black on the bezel of the screen. I will hopefully be making a decision and an order by the end of the weekend. Decisions, decisions, lol!
And too bad Mercari doesn't seem to ship to Europe!

I don’t remember my exact measurements but on the single tour, I use the second to last hole or last hole depending on the temp/humidityWow, thank you so much @athousandbands for the pics and @dyfine for your help! I appreciate it

(closest to the watch face) and in the solo loop I’m a 6Thank you! I went ahead and reserved one at my local Hermès shop, but feel free to post up anything you’ve got ?
The S6 is all paired and activated, proper photo set tomorrow to get you even more excited.
Just to add another layer to your decision, my husband got the Ébène with the deployment buckle. Looks great with everything he wears. Navy, gray, a black suit, or just a white T and jeans. It’s a very versatile band. Pictures don’t do it justice, how close it looks to the black, but yet the brown tones shine through when wearing a brown sweater. He is really happy with it.Wow, thank you so much @athousandbands for the pics and @dyfine for your help! I appreciate it

I wanted the Ebene deployment band because that rich dark brown looked so good. Was right on the cusp of buying it when I saw on the Hermes site back on the 23rd that the Fauve one was back in stock. Spent a few hours hemming and hawing but bit the bullet and bought the fauve and it was shipped out Christmas Eve. I figured that the fauve was more of an iconic Hermes color/style, as well as it possibly being completely unavailable at any time. With the Ebene being the one that stayed with the transition to the Series 6, I could always just buy it later this year.
Supposed to arrive on Tuesday the 5th. A late delivery Christmas gift to myself!
I hear you on the Fauve. So classic. I hemmed and hawed over various choices myself, ultimately decided to get another Fauve double tour, this time in Attelage, which I will baby and keep more pristine compared to my OG S0 double tour with the patina.
Mine was originally scheduled for the 10th, now 7th. It is currently in Louisville, so I am hoping for the 5th as well.
Absolutely in love with the 44mm Double Tour. I almost want to get a 42mm SBSS for it after I sell this S6 to a friend. The 44mm is just a tad big for my wrist usually and the way this band jams it up the wrist is a bit much visually. Feel-wise, it’s just even more a cozy cuff/bangle feel.
I get why the size range is what it is, but I just can’t imagine being in the 145-150mm wrist range and wearing a 44mm. Boyfriend watch to the extreme.

And it’s the same color as my raging arm hair ??????
