Anyone have an S8SB yet to compare with the prior one? I know we've debunked the 'lighter' black rumor but just wanted to check 
Got a tip for us?

Ohhhhh yeah
Just for you:
I have my first Hermès Watch on order with this band. I’m glad I picked it. Looks incredible!!
What is the significance/meaning of the serial under the band? Apologies for my question, but this will be my first Hermès Watch and band.
I’m also trying to reconcile the clarity of the new iPhone camera. Thinking about shaving my arms now. 😩
That is definitely an interesting look. No chance I'm wearing that but if you like it that's all that matters. That chain looks super gaudy to me though.
I'd be so worried of the chain hitting the watch all day!
In some light it looks brownish-copper. I'll try and snap some photos outdoors once the new phone is fully set up.
I love it as a new buddy for Bleu Saphir. Noir/Saphir is just such a heavy look. I had a feeling this one would stunt irl. Paris really killing it with these metallic neutrals the last few jumping seasons.
Hopefully the style is selling well enough to keep around. Resale prices are alarmingly low.
I LOVE THIS. GOT THE SAME ONE!!! and it came with the Gris Meyer which I love.Ohhhhh yeah
Just for you:
Gris Meyer with Hermes Series 8 SBSS. The Gris Meyer is really beautiful

I do. It’s the same space black as series 7.Anyone have an S8SB yet to compare with the prior one? I know we've debunked the 'lighter' black rumor but just wanted to check
Ohhhhh yeah
Just for you:
Ooh, I was so torn between that with the black 45mm watch and the silver with the grid Meyer H diagonal. In the end I went for the latter because it’s my first Hermes and I figured the grey will work with any color clothing while I make a band collection.
I went back and forth so much because the space black is so damn nice!
Thank you! I had little doubt, but the pictures on the site and some people worrying etc
Looks gorgeous! Can't wait for mine next week!
Yes, i love it!!! The Gris Meyer and Bleu de France are beautiful. I know I am going to order the Cuirve so…. These bands are so unsual that i just love them all. Really sets the Apple Watch apart from the regular series.Thank you! I had little doubt, but the pictures on the site and some people worrying etc
I love the Gris Meyer more for right now. I have been wanting that color because I thought it would go great with the SBSS and it does. I haven’t put the Bleu de France on yet. But I know I am going to order the Cuirve this weekend. I love that color. And we havent had a band that color that I know of since the Apple Watch was released. These bands are my guilty pleasure!!!
The Bleu de France is absolutely stunning. I might have to buy that even even mismatched lugs…Ohhhhh yeah
Just for you:
What does AW do for you in particular that’s helpful in dealing with the pandemic?
I don’t like taking out my phone out frequently and i also don’t like having my phone out on a table (e.g. dinner table), plus Apple Pay are my main reasons for having an AW (besides telling the time).
Wow. Thank you for this picture. Yes, it looks a little in between being a statement piece and being gaudy. Hmm.....I need to digest this more. I'm not sure I can pull it off..... I would have to really think hard about what I would wear with this band.
But it is beautiful though. I just didn't expect the chains to literally overwhelm the watch.
During the pandemic, various family members got sick (not COVID, something else). At its worst, I spent a month at the hospital taking care of my father. I didn't need any other electronics with me, just the Apple Watch so I can call mom and report progress. Or vice versa so we switch shifts.
When life tears everything away from you. All I needed was the watch to keep in touch with loved ones. Nothing else mattered.
