Anyone with a the SB Hermes in 41 who doesn't want the smaller half of their silicon band, that they are willing to sell?
 
Is this a good Hermes Apple Watch 7 model?

I am considering it to match my Space Black Links Band which I bought for my Space Black Series 5 Watch. Or at the regular silver Stainless Steel models are better?

Does the Space Black model have the DLC coating?

anyone know of Apple stores that still have these available?
Check Apple website with some frequency. They do get stock in from time-to-time. I know here in NYC it is usually after 3:00 p.m. that they update stock, but it goes quickly.

Update: Just saw someone at the Fifth Ave store who snagged one left, but it looked like the box was already opened. I wonder if it was a return that was quickly resold? They don’t usually send them back to Apple to repackage?

Do you folks think this band is fake or the markings just rubbed off? I’m not in the market for one just idly curious. The buckle looks like the one I have and you can kinda see where the labeling might have been on the underside.

 
How do you like the Goliath bracelet? I’m still waiting on mine as FedEx maybe lost it or is delayed. Was a bit worried about sizing.
actually like it a lot. Sizing was one of my concerns so i picked one up at my nearest Hermes store which is only 10 minutes away.

So, interesting observation… the noir deployment clasp I purchased from Apple has way more play on the buckle than the Fauve deployment clasp I received with my S7 from Hermes. When I looked at the label, it seems like the noir deployment clasp might be new old stock since it mentions that it’s created for the S6 Watch.

Is there a newer S7 noir deployment clasp mechanism that has the tighter/less play version that’s on the Fauve band? Don’t want to return it/repurchase the noir it for no reason, but if it’ll be better, then it’s worth it. Anyone also have the same issues?

Checking Apple's website again it looks like the Fauve is listed as "New", whereas the noir does not have that indication. I'm betting the fauve's clasp was re-done this year to make it tighter than last year's noir deployment clasp.

Definitely interesting that there's clearly a lot more play in the old clasp vs the new one...

What do you mean by play? In the deployment the pin snaps into the buckle so there shouldn’t be any movement.

I purchaed a goliath bracelet (noir) (along with a Clic HH (palladium/bleu de Biarritz mat) and Jumbo H (bleu lin) to wear on my right wrist while my watch is on the left. Figured I might as well be stylish if I'm rocking a Hermes watch.

The Clic HH is showing up tomorrow, the Jumbo H is here next week. I've been wearing the goliath for a few days and I really love it. My daughter has informed me that I needed "three" bracelets if I was going to wear them -- so, I happily complied. :)

The buckle that has the tongue that sticks into the part of the watch band with the holes.. That top part moves slightly up and down on the noir. It moves up/down much more than my fauve band does.

You can see a video of it here: Video of Buckle movement
