@GrandeLatte Thanks I don’t think I can wear the sport band b/c of potential wrist rash, but I will try. I have two Jumping bands and I assume those are ok if it rains or is really humid. My wrist sweats.
Got a tip for us?

I do.
Fauve left, Gold right. If you zoom to the original size (provided MR upload doesn't compress it much) you'll see the difference in the leather grain. Besides, Fauve has more color nuances whereas Gold is much more uniform.
Wear your Fauve even longer and the difference will be vast. Fauve will go into a dark brown.
Exactly. I know some people crave the „patina“ effect, but if I want a dark brown band, I‘ll buy a dark brown band to begin with. One of the reasons I like Gold better than Fauve.
Hahaha. Actually darkened Fauve is really pretty, but it's not for everyone. I think it's old school sexy.
When I was younger, I didn't like Rouge H, felt it was too mature. But now, I love it. I consider it the new black!
Yeah, how could you debate/compare „pristine“ to „lived in“? It‘s just a matter of personal taste. Just like some people polish their stainless steel Watches (or watches) from time to time and others love the „story“ that the micro scratches tell or the „character“ it gives the body.

And how much so! I only didn‘t get Rouge H because I already had the older, very similar Bordeaux Single Tour.

Hey there
I'm in exactly the same boat as you, 140mm wrist, and wear my double tours on the 3rd to last hole. I've never tried a single tour but I'm considering it at the minute - I also like a tight fit!
I think the single tour should just about be okay, but we'd probably need to wear it on the last hole. I think if you find a Hermes store, or any good store that works with leather, I think they should be able to punch an extra hole in it if needed. Nice to have a friend with a similarly tiny wrist
Anyone needing Bamboo in size 45 it’s available right now on Hermes website…
New Hermes SB owner. I now have 5 bands for my new SBSS Hermes Watch. However only two have black lugs. Do you limit purchases to only bands that have black lugs? Have you gotten to like the contrast if the band has silver lugs? What to do if a band you like only has silver lugs? Will Hermes change the lugs?
I don‘t know that anybody tried this yet, but my guess would be „hell, no“.
Yes that’s how I saw Bamboo…was trying to decide if I wanted Rose Mexico. Anyone have a picture of it? Would love to see it if you do. Is it as bright as it seems on Hermes?
This (restock?) finally led me to pull the trigger on a posh listing so I’ll have much better pix soon if the seller is still trying to sell it.

Watch didn’t have the Rose Mexico face and was set to not-American English…

First off, Occam’s Razor since you’ve got the watch in the listing. There’s no fake watches out there, certainly not Hermes. So you’re pretty safe to think: yeah this is just a person selling the whole kit they got. I’ve always felt like it would be super extra for someone to have a real watch and just run a scam where they swap in a fake band?
And it would also be even weirder to be trying to pass off a used band with patina as real? Like wouldn’t you be getting the fakes in and flipping them fresh?
And there’s a certain level of fakes from this site TaoBao that aren’t trying to pass themselves off as real where the metal engraving and buckle shape look wrong (maybe in a distinctly ‘honest’ way), bec the source is standing by the leather quality and not trying to pull some Canal St shiz.
But all the markings look great. The serial underneath the band, the HERMES and STAINLESS STEEL legend on the buckle (though the latter has changed over time). Also rare to see a fake Sport band with the 44mm etching, and I don’t think we’ve seen the Hermes pin faked. Stitching looks good, too. And the Attelage (that big hook of a lug) is still fairly rare, so just less likely to be a fake.
Although our professor @kobezzz has alerted us to convincing fakes in Europe and the example given was attelage.
Also a thing that’s been obsessing me recently is people stealing pics of Hermes listings to run scams, where I think they write your address wrong and hope the funds release before you can cry foul? Reverse image search doesn’t bring anything up, also I would have recognized it. Usually they steal photos with the box. Gotta love the orange packaging.

Looks very real. I don't think fakes can master this degree of patina'd Fauve, or the fine engraving on the sport band/ watch. Are you getting it at a good price?
