I have three single tour Hermes leather bands. Any recommendation for how often to rotate them ?
More important is storing them when not in use. Keep in mind that Heat or Cold will cause Hermes leather bands to change their firmness and dry out the leather.
Keeping your band in the original box and pouch it came in will help to keep the leather beautiful

Finally here after nearly a month!

First time getting an Hèrmes Watch and band. I love the Space Black! Reminds me of my S5. And the band is super soft and comfortable. Though, it's borderline too big. I have a small wrist (165mm) and I'm on the tightest hole. It moves ever so slightly, but not really enough to cause any issues.

Also, the last photo is a comparison between S8 Space Black and S7 Graphite. The Graphite looks silver in comparison!
Your pictures and post just cost me a lot of money... 🤷‍♂️

And this post also contributed to my recent emptying of the wallet. 🤣

I just ordered a Mint condition S8 Space Black Hermes Watch with the Single Tour Noir leather band, the Bleu de France Swift Leather H Diagonal Single Tour, and the Hermes 45mm Black Sports band.

As penance for enticing me to buy a Hermes, the group will soon be pestered with my "band" questions. 🤷‍♂️

Some "new" colors I am seeing pop up for Hermes leather goods are Vert Comics (vibrant green) and Bleu Atoll (like turquoise); as well as Rouge Sellier (which we've seen in the Jumping Tour woven bands) in leather. I am hoping this may be an indication of what may come for the spring refresh of bands.

Warm yellow (Jaune Ambre or Jaune de Naples to keep it with the Italian cities theme of last spring) on a Jumping is all I ask

Well, thanks to the folks in this thread, and their fabulous pictures, I got a S8 SB Hermes, with the Hermes Back Sport band and 2 leather bands.

As promised earlier, I will soon start pestering the group with questions about bands. Fortunately, it doesn't look like there are many 45mm Hermes bands with Black hardware, so that may limit my questions. In fact, I only see 4, am I correct (1 Sport, 1 Swift, 2 Swift H)? Oh darn, I started with the questions already...

Here are some obligatory new owner pics...

Sure would be nice for Apple to bring a color like Cuivre to the rubbery bands

Your timing is great/horrible depending on my will power. LOL

I just got the S8 SB Hermes and this is the one band with black hardware (that I know about) that I don't have. This color looks incredible in the pictures. Is it just as nice in person?

It still hasn’t sunk in that I got this whole kit for so little.

And yes it’s got the perfect amount of red clay richness. More brown indoors.

Remember the forum sucks a little life from the color in a photo. This color and Bleu de France feel like a whole new era of Hermes bands. The “black” color of the microperforations really goes with the Space Black metal.

Are there any 45mm Jumping Bands with black hardware? I looked on the Apple and Hermes sites and couldn't find any.

None of those Jumping Bands with the Space Black hardware are available anymore here in AUS.
I would have loved the blue or green one 😞

Wasn’t even looking it up, just happened to come across the name Veronese…named after a Venetian.

As far as I can see, Australia has the same stock as USA via Apple or Hermes. It‘s all 41mm but there doesn’t seem to be anything different about Australian stock.

Yeah i need the 45mm versions for myself and sadly they are not longer available from Apple or Hermes.
Even tried ringing up the Hermes store thats in my State and they pretty much told me once they all sell out they are gone for good.

I don't mind the first two. But Rouge Sellier is TOO conservative. Yikes!
