I confirm to those who said that now the nylon versions are softer. from the Fall 2021 belts to understand if from those already produced in 2021 or from 2022. My Fall 2021 versions were purchased in 2022.
it is then necessary to check if they lose their tightness over time.

you have bought a leather strap, what is the first letter inside the strap? the first letter identifies the year of production

The first letter for my blanc watch is Z
What does it mean ?
 
Quick question. On the nylon bands, is it possible to punch an addition hole if I find the band too big? Thank you in advance.

Technically, you can punch a hole (or more) in the nylon band with any object that's sharp enough. Jokes aside, Hermès will not do it for you because the nylon will start to fray around the additional hole. In fact, it's common for the nylon strands to even start fraying around pre-existing holes.

I thought so too. It's woven nylon so technically you can't punch holes. But I didn't know existing holes are not sealed properly.

Thanks!:D

They’re sealed, but do sometimes get “micro-fray” around the holes most used. I wear this one almost daily since I got it and it’s not noticeable to the naked eye unless you’re looking for it (or in this case using your micro lense with contrast lighting).

My thoughts on the new Bleu Lin/ Vert Véronèse: the colors are not vibrant. The Bleu Lin is quite muted and the Vert Véronèse is like a grayish-green.

I concur … and I love it. First I was taken aback that both colours were darker and more muted than expected, but on day two I realized that this is the first Jumping band with a colour combination that I would call subtle. Which is awesome in its own way. Funnily enough, I now have the exact same three Jumping bands as you! The Rouge and Lime bands are bangers, and I still love them. But Bleu/Vert fills a completely different niche in my collection.

One thing that I did notice that was different is that the band is a little more pliable than past iterations. I would say my prior two were stiffer and this has slightly more flexibility, though it is just as sturdy.

True! So the Jumping bands became even nicer ?


 
If you’ll allow me to be a totally ungrateful dreamer, I threw together a concept of what Magnolia Swift would look like…sigh.

Wow, that is gorgeous! You are very talented, thank you!

Damn, I think you have just made me spend $469 on this band ? It really is pretty, shame they didn't do a leather in this colour.
Haha, thank you! They have the Cassis in swift leather, but they really need to do a pink, I agree.
That’s stunning! Online merchandising photos don’t do the Jumping tours any justice—the way they catch light is hard to capture in a studio photo and outside real life.
Thank you!
Nice. The color combo is divine. Enjoy it in great health!?
Thank you so much GL! (waves from tPF)
