After a S0 SS and S4 SBSS, now a S7 SS Hermes. Originally wanted the Fauve, but as it is discontinued I was happy to see that Navy was available.

I must be crazy as I read the entire Thread while waiting for the delivery ?… and also happily got the Goliath in Noir ? Would have also wanted the Saphir/Orange Jumping band, but oh well it got discontinued and is now unavailable in Germany since the new Series
We need @arn to provide you an award for reading all 274 pages. You must have single handily increased ad revenue for the month ?
 
I feel the same. I wish Hermes would just put more holes in it while they're at it. Would make it so much easier for people.
Oh dear. I keep going back and forth with ordering this one. I could have gotten it from the apple store twice this week but it was gone by the time I got around to it. I was concerned I may not like it and that is why I have hesitated with ordering it directly from Hermes since they do not credit your credit card. Sounds like from your description I will love it with my SBSS series 7.

Definitely could have used one more hole also.
Usually the smallest one is just perfect. But for some reason my wrist sometimes shrinks down during the day and in these times it would be nice to have a smaller one to switch to.
 
Thank you, and you are right it is palladium plated.
what’s the proper way to remove scratches ? any idea? TIA
Honestly, I‘d be tempted to leave it as it will pick up a patina and still look good.
You could polish it but it’s a little risky without knowing how thin the plating is.

Hi Folks, please advise.

I just scored something. It all of a sudden became available so I placed an order for the Hermes Single Tour 41 in orange. The quintessential Hermes color. It will be delivered middle of November which is just around the corner.

My question is, the gold color Single Tour is also available, but it's not as special as the orange color and I plan to get the Double Tour band separately (in Rouge H or if lucky Bleu Lin).

Which of these two colors would you go for? For reference, I'm pretty fashionable in daily wear and I want something unique and fun. But I can't help but think the gold will be more versatile, but I already have the Hermes gold Kelly bag and TBH, I hardly carry it because it's so ordinary. Also the gold reminds me of my Cartier Tank watch which I've had for 20 years. Help!!!

So this question is: which would you rather if you were in my shoes?

I’d do the gold. Such a beautiful and classic Hermes color. Just wish it was epsom!
 
Well after drooling over everyone’s Bleu Lin for almost a week, I just ordered it from Hermes. ??‍♀️ I think it’s gonna look so nice with my Hermes Series 7 SBSS!!! Plus it will match my Sierra Blue iPhone 13 promax. It was the pic from @Boardiesboi that put me over the top!!! Pics when I get it!!

I swear this will be my last Hermes band…




For this week….????

Such a beautiful band right? I was debating with myself whether to keep it as I already have the Bleu Lin/Craie/Bleu du Nord but the full Bleu Lin is just gorgeous.

Yes I love the color. Can’t wait to get it now that I finally ordered it. Your pic made the decision for me!! It’s just so much fun to get new bands that change the look of the Watch so much. I think the Bleu Lin will look really sleek with the SBSS. Black and Bleu!

Personally I don’t like the Bleu Lin. Feels recycled from 2019, but hope you enjoy your band. I wish they added some epsom bands. It’s my favorite material.

I guess I’m confused. Hermes has been leaning more towards swift esp with bracelets which is what bleu is.

Espom is another material which you alluded to and has been around for ages.


Post from ten plus years ago… recycle what?

Thank you. This guy @drew0020 always has something negative to say on posts. I prefer the swift leather. Just find it softer and more supple. I didn’t like the band from 2019 because I didn’t like it with white. The purpose of this forum is to support each other’s choices, and to promote positive discussions, and I don’t believe it should be a platform where members are so negatively critical of what other forum members choose to purchase.

I like swift leather bands, but just prefer epsom. Most of my Hermes epsom is not apple watch related. Maybe the epsom doesn’t hold up as well on a watch band?
 
I’m getting the gold too…canceled my December Apple order…ordered Wednesday afternoon late from Hermes and it’s on its FedEx way early this morning ❤️…can’t believe I don’t have to wait until December anymore
Please share pics of the gold when you get it. Trying to decide if I want to add it to my rotation…
 
Also, random other question… what happened to the older custom Hermès faces? I can’t find the phases that are split in half as the hands move around. They matched the bands from a previous release. But I can’t find them at all on my Series 7?

They’re under the standard Hermès faces as a different colour option. Press + to add colours and they’ll appear.

I bought The Apple Watch Series 7 45mm Hermes Single Tour Deployment Buckle (Ebene).

I like the dark brown color band as it will suit my clothes on working days and also with casual look in the weekends.

I wanted to get the Space black Noir but that was not available until middle of November.

I guess what I got is also very nice.

I just find the band to be loose. I mean I am in the last hole On the strap and I can still put a finger between my wrist and the strap. Is that okay or I need to get an extra hole. Will Hermes or Apple help me with that?
Not sure if it’s necessary.


Here are some pictures.

Do you guys buy Apple Care+ for your Hermes Apple Watch?

Congrats on the new watch! If there is a Hermès store nearby, take it in and they’ll add holes to the band for you for free. Enjoy.

Thanks.

I am loving the Watch. My last watch was the space black stainless steel series 5.

May be not getting another space black stainless steel will give me a new look and change.


By the way, it is normal to leave a gap of one finger space between the wrist and the strap? Or it is better to have it snug so that the ECG sensor has a better reading?
