I finally found an advisor that knew what he was doing and ordered both colors for my Hermes S8.

I’ve never owned a s7

s8 sorry
Ok weird it’s still called a 44mm. Well finally an example of someone with an S8 winning :p

Is there any product code? And what does it say exactly on the receipt for the items?

That’s because the guy said there is no stock for series 8 Hermes so he found 44m in stock.

Same as before with repair I’d at top. I can send it after the parts come

Oh interesting, they told me they weren’t allowed to do that. I’ll try it again when I got time. Thanks for the info.

Honestly it was extremely hard. I have been the most successful on apple care chat through my MacBook. Not through iMessage etc

I don't really use my Hermes sport band that much because I have SO many different colored sport bands I've collected over the last 2 years. Hermes orange stands out too much, I prefer Cantaloupe or Marigold. But mainly I'm a Pink Sand kind of gal and like all pastel colors.

What kind of exercise do you do? How did your band get in this condition? Usually I just use soap and water to clean, for spot treatment, I use magic eraser. I have never used nail polish. It's too harsh, probably strips off a layer of your band.
I tried soap and magic eraser, actually. It didn’t change much, the orange just seems to stain permanently, fairly easily.

My job overall isn’t that laborious, but it’s in the business of new car deliveries. Cars fresh from transport and parking garages are just dirty. I also have a couple (cheap, probably) work shirts and jackets that ended up transferring black dye over time.

Does anybody want to trade?

So I bought the new Series 8, and went fancy with the 45mm Bleu de France Swift Leather H Diagonal Single Tour
It arrived today, and it is too small for me 🥺
I wore it for 5 minutes and understood.

Does anyone want to trade with a Jumping single tour?

I realize I am losing with this - it was stupid of me to think it would fit.
My wrist is fat. I was hoping this time it would be different...

Do the jumping bands fit different? I only have leather bands but I thought the jumping ones were for the same wrist sizes.

Just curious as someone with also a large wrist who’s never tried the jumping bands.

Size wise the holes are shifted out about one size and they can accommodate a slightly larger wrist.

Source: Attelage lugs add about a size and make my leather bands here the same length as the jumping bands; before swapping all of them with Attelage hardware I’d use one looser hole on the leather bands.

Oh! How did you change those lugs??? I have SB 41 and there is no single leather band apart from the noir that 😶‍🌫️matches my SB

There was a Noir Attelage band for the S6 era with space black hardware that may still be available new from Hermès in some countries or used on eBay every once in a while.

The Blanc Attelage double tour last season already had black hardware but yeah, it requires a specific pentalobe screwdriver to remove the lugs, a standard spring pin remover tool to remove the buckle, and black hardware donated from a Noir (or jumping) band to make the swap.
