I finally upgraded from my Hermès S0.

I’m trying to find a sport band I love even more than my Midnight Blue band. My Noir Single Tour from my S0 got pretty destroyed from heavy usage while the Sport band has taken years of use like a champ.

With the stipulation that it cannot distinctly clash with red (company color), any recommendations for a sport band that pairs nicely with this Hermès face and the stainless steel body?

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.

Beautiful pics. Thank you again, I am so excited to pick my 44mm up tomorrow and pair it with my SS Gold AW6!

Fog, blue horizon, coastal gray, ocean blue would all be nice pairs for red slash midnight blue replacements.

Hard to find, of course, but I’m actually quite taken with the new Deep Navy solo loop. I also think midnight blue gen 2 is much nicer than gen 1, which I assume is what you have there.

I do really like the idea of Ocean Blue! Checked eBay though and they’re all $60-90. I personally don’t believe in paying over retail for something like this so I guess I’ll keep checking back to see if a reasonably priced Ocean Blue band pops up.

Would you say the attelage is more suited for those with tinier wrists?

I’m wondering the same thing. Once it gets here I will compare. My guess is that it might be-more delicate strap. Not to say the OG double tour doesn’t look fabulous, because I still get compliments whenever I wear it.

The more I think about it, the more I want to just stick with Midnight Blue. It feels like the classiest non-leather band available, but it’s clearly not super popular because they can be found for $25 all day on eBay.

My fauve barenia deployment buckle has arrived. Simply stunning with the impeccable build quality we expect of Hermes. I love the fit and feel of this. Lugs are tight and not loose at all. The clasp has this very satisfying snapping sound. I'm looking forward to seeing how this patinas over time.

I know I just got this but it's super tempting to buy the ebene deployment buckle band now... If money talks, then mine says goodbye. :eek:

Like a super posh Nike Sport band, lol.

Loving the grain on this one.

Yeah it makes it special. I wonder which rallye I would take to a desert island. The rouge accent on the indigo really gets me.

By the way I’ve stopped using your method to remove my solo loops. At least for a steel watch, it seems to really tear up the connector area, especially if the last corner out gets twisted before it’s free. And flipping it inside out felt dicey too, in terms of stretch.

Hmm, I never had the feeling of a corner getting twisted or the connector being stressed or anything like that ... but maybe there is no reason to be concerned of stretching the Solos anyway, especially for folks like us who rotate so many, many bands and don‘t wear (and stretch) the same Solo for weeks or even months like the barbarians do ?

I think it would be great if we posted findings such as that here! I'm still waiting to order my AWH, but can already sense I want to add a few straps and have a mini-collection! Unfortunately, I can't buy from PoshMark since I'm in Europe.

I’m unsure where the light hue is coming from but I see a LOT of pick on your arm and Watch bezel.

What do you mean pick? And yeah I know these shots are coming out weird. Still learning how to edit ProRAW, balancing sexy with accurate band colors with not making my arm look weird. Plus the current version of Photos...the exposure or something looks so different during editing than when it’s saved, I’m pretty sure even with non ProRAW photos.

Maybe the iPhone 12 display is jumping between HDR modes? I should prob be editing in Lightroom or at least on a Mac but I’m really comfortable with the Photos sliders plus I’m already spending just about as much time as I want to, plus I like to edit in situ where I can see what the band looks like irl.

Edit: ohhh pink! The autocorrect on this forum is the worst. Hahaha I’m wearing a lilac/lavender graphic tee, so yes that’s playing a factor. I also have the tint jacked that way to bring out the Bleu Lin.
