Have any SB owners managed to purchase an Orange Hermes Sport Band from Apple? I saw an older post claim you could purchase a “replacement” from Apple customer service.
I couldn't get Orange with my SB serial number. I had to poach a serial number from a Silver SS watch from an eBay listing to get them to do it for me.

Did you do this recently?

I’m having a lot of trouble obtaining a replacement from Apple for my defective one.

As it is a Spring 2021 band that was immediately discontinued, for online shopping neither store would let you pair it I believe.

Either way (in the United States) the 44mm noir Jumping has been out of stock in both stores, even as far as Apple erasing the 44mm option entirely.

I think Hermes in person they would probably let you pair whatever band you want even if it was dead stock. And wouldn’t Apple as well for a walk-in?

Does Apple ever have old Hermes bands in store? For the locations that even have the line.

No. Apple only has the latest release. Only Hermes stores hold previous seasons in store.

The Rouge Piment above, which Apple called Ruby on their leather. The cooler tone with the rich vibrance.
Oh haha definitely . I couldn’t resist buying it. I’m starting my collection of Hermes
But I want the Jaune Ambre and Anemore in 44/45mm so bad, and it don’t exists.
Also. I’d like the Colvert. So difficult to find.

As much as I was drooling over Bambou on my fourth wear today, I have no regrets getting Rouge P and Ambre first.
 
Long time lurker here. I have an Hermes Series 3 and I'm torn on upgrading to a Series 7 or just waiting for whatever is next...

Does anyone have any specific recommendations as to whether to wait or what?

You should go for it. Because if you want the next generation Hermes, you would probably need to wait to November/December (they take longer to be available), so that’s almost the whole year.
And there are HUGE differences among the series 3 and series 7.
BUT, you know you series 3 is still in the market (apple still sells it). So you could also keep it one more year until it gets discontinued, and then you would need for sure upgrade.

Does anybody know if the new Navy color that was released with S7 is the exactly the same navy color that was released with S6.
I’m wondering this because in the apple store site it says ‘NEW’ , along with the actual new colors.

I ask this because Hermes sometimes release the same color name twice. And the color changes a little bit.
One example is the Anemone color from 2016 and from 2020

Bump. If only we knew an expert with insider info…
