Looks gorgeous on your wrist! Wasn't sure about this particular band style as it seemed a bit too chunky, but you pull it off very well.
Also, what brand is your shirt? Love the cuff detail.
I tried to do the Hermes Orange Sports Band replacement today. I followed the directions provided by the previous posts here. The directions were terrific, thanks. Seriously, the previous posts were perfect. I'm posting this just so folks know that the directions posted are correct, but you still need some luck in getting a good CS rep.
I got a poor rep however and wasted an hour of my time. He found the band (eventually), and set up the replacement order. However he wrote it up like an Applecare repair charge at $79, instead of the ~$50 for a replacement band. I pointed out that this is not an Applecare situation, but a band replacement to no avail.
- Hermes Orange, 45mm, Sport Band $0.00
- SERVICE FEE-WATCH EDITION, HERMES, ULTRA $79.00
Pretty frustrating, but it isn't worth it to me to try again and hope for a better CS person. It just an Orange Sports band. LOL I figure if Apple doesn't want my money, I'll treat myself to something else, not made by Apple. I'm guessing some other company can use a few $$$.

In my experience—and I’m sure you read this in my old posts—you’re asking them to do something they’ve never done before and it’s a very weird and confusing ask because it’s a watch band.
I get your frustration (and this whole process really shouldn‘t be this convoluted), but it is not „just an orange Sport band“, it is the orange Sport band. If I were you, I would just try again.
I have these - new - straps for the 45er in my collection I’m not using. I went on a shopping spree some time ago and got buyer’s remorse.
If I can make anybody happy, pm me.
Well, I have a decent number of bands already, and regardless of whether this is "the" orange band, or "just" an orange band. Two things are true for me.
1) I won't beg Apple to take my money unless its a product that I just have to have. For me, those products could be a Laptop or Phone, if my current one dies and I need a quick replacement. I wont beg Apple to buy a watch band.
2) I don't wear sport bands much so an orange sports band would only be worn occasionally. So spending hours trying to persuade Apple to sell me this band doesn't make sense (for me). I will put they money towards some shoes I've been eying. It will be much less hassle.
Sorry, I just don't see why Hermes owners cant just buy this band without a hassle. Apple has made something very difficult, that should not be difficult at all. It is Apple's peragitive to do this of course, but to use a quote from the show Shark Tank, "I'm out..."

Bordeaux/Rose Extrême/Rose Azalée Hermès Double Tour. Love the combo of the more mature and restrained bordeaux with the two pinks. The matching face is one of my favourites too.
After being with Android for about 10 years, I made the switch to iOS last year. And a year later, I got my first ever Apple Watch. After polling my loved ones and friends, everyone seems to keep their watches for a very long time. Therefore, I went all in with the Hermes version 
I can't message you because I am new (my guess). Can you message me, please? I wanted the Noir / Gris but is no longer available through Hermes or Apple. Thank you in advance.

Same! Just about to sell it. The luxe Hermes feel is too hard to ignore.Dumped the Ultra. Back to Hermes.
Looks great. I have many questions about the watch face. First, that looks like Hermes Orange as the background. I can’t seem to find that option. And second, the World Clock complication with the time and the Apple logo…how did you do that?Dumped the Ultra. Back to Hermes.
You will need to hit the + symbol to add other color options for the Hermes watch face via the watch app. Copy/Paste the Apple logo with a google search, then under Clock, scroll down to City Abbreviations to add the logo to whatever location you want.
Looks like Brique face
I’ve got this itch that needs scratching and fancy an Apple Link bracelet to go with my S7 Hermes SS. Anyone have any photos of one on theirs? It’s either the link bracelet or a new Jumping
Here it is in on a series 3 vanilla, I think it gets the point across…I’ve got this itch that needs scratching and fancy an Apple Link bracelet to go with my S7 Hermes SS. Anyone have any photos of one on theirs? It’s either the link bracelet or a new Jumping
S4 Hermes, but I don’t like using the Hermes faces with non-Hermes bands; was wearing a blue shirt here to demonstrate how the link (like the sss) takes on the colors around it:
