Hermès Edition Owners Thread

Ordered the Goliath in black. Sigh. It’ll be here tomorrow according to FedEx but I haven’t gotten a shipping notice from H yet so we’ll see if that date sticks. The simplicity of the Goliath did me in lol! I was actually looking for something in braided silk in petite h this weekend but there were only necklaces.

I wish returns and exchanges were as simple in the boutiques as they are online.

I don’t deal with boutiques even though I understand it ups my chances or quite frankly that’s the only way to a birkin but I’m ok without and I’ve gotten lovely pieces from the site. I’m ok with mailing my returns and never stepping a foot in, not that I’ve had a bad experience but I generally don’t like shopping in person. I’ve gotten to know my size well enough and always prefer online then in store unless I’m with girlfriends and usually they’re the ones shopping. I make mental notes of what to order unless I know it’s store only.

No. Despite elongating the distance of the loop of the lug, the leather strap is actually slightly shorter than a traditional Single Tour. Therefore, I use the same hole as I do on the Attelage Single Tour as I do for non-Attelage Single Tour bands.

just for comparison, the Single Tour vs the Attelage Single Tour to show they’re the same length just larger lug/less leather on the Attelage: BD7585CF-6090-4AF7-BCAA-79D8740DCB6B.jpeg

Ahh ! Yes I’m familiar with it but I thought you were referring with the picture you showed. I have something similar but it’s since been discontinued or not as there often.. it’s straight leather no braid, and instead of the clasp or circle and stick, it’s H,
I love it. Reminds me of this Tiffany Picasso piece that was part rubber and sterling silver.. was so upset with myself when it fell off and I didn’t notice (shoddy repair on Tiffany’s if we were to be honest). I’ve been hoping they’d bring it back since it was not issued since. I don’t even have a picture but it’s simple black rubber with a clasp that has ridges, and it screws together. Simple but lovely.

This is the bracelet (also my pic, you can see I just got it and still has the plastic on).

the Tiffany one I tried finding if I ever took a pic, this was so long ago, this one is from internet: (I hate buying second hand because of fakes)

This looks fishy but you get the idea.

The jumping single tours are down to just two!? Apple apparently discontinued all five jumping single tours introduced earlier this year. That must mean new bands are on their way, right? There's literally no jumping single tour with black lugs right now.

Fashion products turn over quickly. My favorite Apple Watch Hermès band ever was the Èperon d’Or that they sold for a few months in 2017. It was my daily driver for 2 years and I still wear it on occasion. I always tell people if you like a particular Hermès band get it while you can since it can and will be discontinued on a whim.

I just find it weird they no longer have a space black band specifically in the jumping product category. Although oddly enough Hermès is now selling them on their own website (they didn't offer it when the Series 7 first came out).

I’m guessing Apple is selling out existing stock. But it is too close to the Series 7 launch for new bands to be launched imminently. it could be the global supply chain issues, too.

Has to be weak sales, right? Or maybe just taking a backseat to the new patterned hotness and coming back strong in spring…
 
Is it just me or has the Hermes Circulair Watch Face not been optimized for the brighter AOD of the S7?
I feel like it is very dark in comparison to others.
 
Ok I'm sorry but the way the regular Hermès watch face has been treated for the new screen is a ridiculous clusterf***

athousandbands said:
wow much less dramatic a shift down than I’d expected. I feel like Paris chiming in on ratios and spacing has to be the most power Cupertino has ever given up.

The original Hermes face has the numerals slightly pushed out horizontally, but not much (if any) vertically.

And a weird leftward shift…im sure there’s an explanation but I wasn’t expecting that,

Boardiesboi said:
It's weird. It almost looks as if they just shifted the whole face left rather than pushing the numerals outwards

athousandbands said:
The leftward shift has now totally flipped me to the “fix it” or at least the “it’s possible they’ll fix it” camp. Someone needs to bust out some Photoshop rulers and see if maybe the old one was off and the new one is “fixed.”
Click to expand...

So comparing the pictures, the regular Hermès watch face basically didn't change at all – except for that weird shift left – and takes no advantage of the additional screen space whatsoever. Sorry, but that is just incredibly dumb and a slap in the face.

moyjoy said:
Do we actually want these dials overly “optimized” for the face? I would rather them be well designed over having the numbers stretched into the outer limits just because they can be.
Click to expand...

Please stop making excuses for this BS. I have no skills in photoshop but I'm absolutely sure the face could look better if it took advantage of the additional space. How can you believe the best design decision was to leave the face as-is and just put more black (or colour) around it?

moyjoy said:
The lobbying to Hermes should be for a new numerical face that takes advantage of the extra real estate.
Click to expand...

This I agree with but it won't happen. There is one numerical face which can be customized in many ways, I'm sure Cupertino/Paris considers that a done deal.

Oh look, more icing on the cake … :rolleyes:

I am really torn on this issue as I do love the Hermès watch faces but I don't think I can reward this lazyness and keep this most expensive Apple Watch regardless.

Wow I am really disappointed that the two watch faces I use the most don't seem to be optimized for the S7. That is really a slap in the face to us who buy Apple's most expensive watch.

Is anyone running the latest beta on the watch in hopes that this might be fixed? I feel like this is something that Apple would and should fix. If not this will probably be my last Hermes purchase as I'm not down with paying this additional money for watch faces that have essentially been ignored.

Hi! Is here anybody from Germany/Europe still waiting for the watch? I ordered es soon as possible and have a tracking number since last week. But DHL only says, that they have the number but not the package (Netherlands). It should come between 19.-21.

thanks!

My package (TNT) is also supposed to arrive today and seems to be stuck in Netherlands since yesterday with absolutely no movement.

I'm so irritated with FedEx. My order from Hermes.com shipped Friday, destined for me in Phoenix AZ. I paid $35 extra for 2 Day Air. It went to Oakland, CA, where it sat for almost 3 days, and then inexplicably, it went from Oakland to Memphis late last night, and is still in Memphis now. It's scheduled to be here today by 8pm, but I don't know how they will pull that off at this point. This is my first Hermes, and I can't wait to have it in my paws. I guess now I just hope for tomorrow.
