They would probably have to ship another lime band, but yes it’s really weird they didn’t do a face for that! I use Argent, which basically the “stainless steel” default
Okay so unfortunately we are indeed talking about the same Band.Yep, was suspicious because of the wrong label on the box but the seller could explain that. Anyway: Congratulations, it was indeed a very good price
Yeah not uncommon for sellers to just stuff it in a different Hermes box. I’m always just grateful to get another one.Yep, was suspicious because of the wrong label on the box but the seller could explain that. Anyway: Congratulations, it was indeed a very good price
Congrats!
For those with the Bleu Lin/Vert jumping single tour, what are your thoughts on the color combination now that it has been out for a few months? I have been really wanting a jumping band for the miserably hot summer we are currently having in TX and am considering this one mainly because the colors are pretty subdued. I tend to wear muted colors for watch bands and, while I think something like the Saphir/Orange is beautiful, I’m just not sure I would actually wear a band that bright enough to justify it. I have seen the Bleu Lin leather strap in person so I know what to expect from that color. But I’m not sure about the green. Is it close in color to the khaki sport band? How well do they go together?
I am also considering the Noir/Gris Clair but can’t decide if the black hardware would annoy me when paired with my silver watch.

@MacDevil7334. I have the space black Hermes watch. I have both bands you are considering. I am not bothered by the contrasting hardware.
Why not purchase both and alternate? If you are looking at Jumping for your daily hot weather band, then two might give you more flexibility and less need to clean.
I got the Bleu Lin/Vert when it was released and previously had the Kraft/Lime and Rouge H/de Coeur. I eventually returned the Bleu Lin/Vert for two reasons: (i) I felt the colors were too subdued for my taste, and (ii) I wanted to use that money for another band down the road. In hindsight, I would have kept it (or maybe I will re-purchase it) for the fall/winter. For me, it did not scream "spring/summer" like the Kraft/Lime does and so I felt it would not be worn all that often. The Vert Veronese as it contrasts the Bleu Lin gives it in most light a muted/grayish hue. If you want something subtle, I would recommend it. The Lime as contrasted to the Kraft can appear almost neon in some light, while in other light also appears subtle/muted. If anything, get the Bleu Lin/Vert Veronese and try it out for a few days in different lighting and if you're not satisfied you can return it.
Get it! It’s a great color combination! I don’t know why I waited to purchase the jumping tours…they are wonderful for Louisiana’s heat/humidity. They are a step up from sport bands and better than the leathers for summer heat for everyday wear. I have 3 now and can’t wait to see what Hermes has in store for colors soon.
I would get both if money were no object…😔
Thanks for your thoughts. Is the Vert similar to the khaki sport band or is it greener? I’ve watched the JuanandOnly’s video on YouTube. But his white balance is all over the place so it’s hard to tell. I definitely haven’t seen any pictures that make it look as green as the official render.
I try to avoid buying unless I am confident I won’t want to return as I am fairly sure Apple destroys used accessories. Might be my only choice in this case though.
Yes it has been over 100F here in TX for the past month and I have really been wanting one. I mainly have a hard time with the price, otherwise I would probably have a few!
Ooooh that may push me over the edge. Thanks for taking the time for a picture!
Yes I read that he stated khaki sports band but as I don’t own that band I pictured it over khaki pants only for a color reference just in case it would help him decide if it’s something that might be of a help in deciding……lol
Yeah I def would be glad to see a new pic of that band every day! I have every other individual color they’ve done on a Jumping on one band or another except VV
The thing about the Jumping Tour bands in woven nylon is that they tend to change color (or hue) in different lighting. I recall the greenness of Vert Veronese being more pronounced in dimmer lighting, if that makes sense.
In some ways I find the Jumping bands preferable to the Hermes leather bands. Less to worry about, particularly since my wrist can easily sweat, even in only moderately warm weather. Perhaps that is heresy, given the quality of their leather bands and what Hermes is most noted for.
