Went from S4 Hermes to a S6 Sport. Found a deal on a new S7 Hermes Space Black with no bands (I already have 5 Hermes band sitting without being used for the past year). Caved in and once again part of the family!
Hermes has Bleu Lin in both single and double tour available again if anyone missed it last time around.
I'll try to post photos at a later time, but I have multiple bracelets and will say this: the Goliath is probably the best paired with the watch if you want to wear them on the same wrist. The others that I have (Glenan H Link, Tournis Tresse, and Jumbo H) have "bulky" catches that, I find, interfere with the watch itself when worn on the same wrist (i.e., often pressing on the side button initiating the SOS call, or if on the other side of the watch, banging up against the side). I do love the bracelets I have, though, and will often wear them on my other wrist.
This is my Ultra with the noir attelage and one of my Hermes bracelets. They look great together either on the same or opposite hand.

Do you like the jumping bands? I have one from the first year and two from year two. I find the original much more inflexible. I wonder if I could do anything to increase flexibility? Thanks.
I love the jumping bands. They do get a little more flexible over time but I think for the purposes of cosmetic durability they will always be a little stiff.
The old Apple nylon bands have pretty much no rigidity and so crease and show wear after just a little bit of regular use.
Get you a cape cod cloth, you’ll be blown away
I polish mine probably more than I should (once every two months), but the “removing the steel” is negligible and I justify it as the WATCH itself not being a timeless device, hence my upgrading it every few years. I started with the Cape Cod cloths, but now I use Flitz polish with buffing wheels on my Dremel (albeit, very carefully as the case has the vent holes for sound and microphone, side button). Cape Cod is the easier, less worrisome way. But both methods will get you fantastic results; basically a brand new looking WATCH.
Some prefer the “character” of scratches on stainless steel, which I do have on my Rolex Sub and TAG and it’s not a bother for me. But I much prefer a “new” mirror finish on my WATCH every couple of months.
The wife says I don’t ever make any sense and I don’t disagree.
Not impossible but very hard to damage. I have one for 3 years and it looks brand new. Highly recommend.
Black one is awesome and incredibly resistant, brand new no matter you threat it XD
