Don't give me ideas 🤪
I like the Rouge Circuit. I plan on getting the SBSS and then ordering this band separately if I have to. Not going to mess around with trying to configure. Just ordering whatever comes with SBSS 45mm single tour and then this Rouge Noir band!!
FYI: the Apple Watch section on Hermes.com has been taken down. Perhaps it'll be back up later today or tomorrow??

Would you say the Fauve Barénia leather is the classic iconic Hermes leather strap, perhaps their best cow leather strap?

Is the Jumping strap with woven nylon the first time Hermes has that material? I don't know much of the history of Hermes. The woven nylon seems to come out of nowhere.
hopefully it was taken down to update it for the Series 7!!!! In my experience Hermes in past years has shown the new models with a pre-order option.

The Fauve is a Hermes classic and has been around since I started wearing Hermes apple watch which was Series 3. Yes, this past year was the first time Hermes has offered the woven nylon bands. i did not buy them because I have a preference for the leather bands which are so soft and supple (I have 6 of therm in my collection!).

So the big question is should I go back to space black for the series 7 or stick with silver stainless steel? I was really hoping for a graphite hermes, but that did not happen.

Thinking if I go silver, I will feel meh about ti since it's not a huge upgrade. At lease space black will have some nostalgia to it haha and switch it up from the silver series 6.

Thoughts?

I am staying with my space black. I just like it better and don’t have to deal with the micro scratches on stainless. This will be my third space black Hermes model in a row.

Assuming you’ll live the silver steel lugs + SBSS lifestyle? Or just rest those bands until s8?
 
I had space black for my S5 Hermes and that had a few dings in the case. Not scratches, actual small dents.

I blame the milanese loop that I wore for a few weeks.

I wont wear that band. Around the house I mostly wear my braided loops or the sport loop, or I wear my Hermes black and orange sports band. it’s only when I go out that I’ll put on one of my Hermès leather bands. I just am not a fan of the metal band on the Apple Watch.

Speaking of what bands to wear, anyone accidentally get ink on theirs? I used a damp cloth which got rid of most but I worry about other methods (mild dish detergent or rubbing alcohol). I have the orange single tour Attelage and it’s brand new. Waiting to hear back from Hermes on what they suggest.

Do you mean fountain pen ink?
 
New to the Hermès thread and am considering upgrading this year from SSG5 to Hermès SSS. Just one quick question, is the availability of Hermès normally the same (even if constrained) or worse than the normal AW?

I have to buy off Apple unfortunately rather than Hermès.com as I have £850 Apple vouchers burning a hole in my pocket :)

Last year for the S6, the Hermès models were available a few days after official launch day for other S6 models in Australia.
 
Which band should I choose if I only buy it for resell next year? I upgrade every year and don't care for the Hermes bands anymore since Apple released their solo loops last year. With my series 6 I have the unworn fauve to sell on. I think every buyer will like it because it's a classic one. But from the bands that come with Hermes now, which one would be of most interest to potential buyers next fall? Any ideas? I will be getting the 45mm. 😃
 
Hi there!
I am a lover of the steel version, and all my models have alternated between graphite and silver. This year I'm considering a Hermes, but I don't see the benefits clear.

That's why I'm turning to the enthusiasts of this version...

Could anyone tell me what makes you fall in love with this edition? In terms of bands, the Jumping is the most sporty and modern one, so that would be my option (not sure about colors yet, I guess until tomorrow its a mistery). No idea about how many different faces it has: 2?

It has many watch faces combinations that are different compared to the regular AW. It also comes with an additional Hermes sports band and a longer warranty.
I personally love it for the watch faces.

I am in the same boat as you - I am going to pull the trigger I think as always admired the Hermes bands. Just not sure what band to get with my first Hermes watch.

Not keen on double tours and I don't feel they would suit me (I am a 52 year old male)

Not keen on the Attelage for a first band as I feel the gap would annoy me if my only Hermes band.

Very tempted with the Circuit H Single Tour (biscuit), but again for my first (and only) Hermes band I am not sure.

Looks like I have convinced myself then for the Classic Single tour then :)

What do you all think?

This is my 4th Hermes AW (I have had one SS and this will be my 3rd SBSS) and I always go for for single tour! Just going to order whatever 45mm SBSS single tour they have and then separately order the band I really want.

Yep, just had a long convo with the wife - she knows I want shiny and new on the first day, so we (lol she) have decided to not deviate regardless of availability. I have always wanted to get the Hermes so this time I will.

So tomorrow I will be the purchaser (note I didn't say owner as it could be months lol) of a 45mm Hermes SS Silver with Fauve Single tour..with no deviations.....
 
So is the selection you can find on Hermes shop at the moment some kind of NOOS-selection that won’t go away or will it disappear when new straps kick in? Thinking of getting orange and black double.
Asked this earlier but didn’t get an answer. Does anyone know if orange and black tour are coming back tomorrow, are they always in the selection or not?
