Hermès Edition Owners Thread

I do love how the Space Black is very similar in color and polish to the black bezel on the glass and the black ceramic backing, makes it look more like a solid uninterrupted piece where the display edge disappears whereas every other Watch has a contrasting display.

Since none of the new Spring bands appealed to me, I bought a band from a fellow MR member.

Do you think the silver hardware works with the black case?

I really like it. What is the official name of that color band?

Thanks. For some reason I thought that color was more of an orange, but in your picture it's pretty red. Would you say that's accurate? I don't know of anywhere around me in Salt Lake City I can see in person.

Rouge de Cœur is their reddest red afaik. Not too bright, not too dark, just pure red.

I agree with Vangeli. The Rouge de Cœur is definitely Red, not Orange.

I think you should be ok… like the others say it’s a hair longer View attachment 2171610

Thanks for the help all. Will look into buying a jumping as well for working out

I was reluctant to purchase a jumping tour band… thought the idea was awful…nylon! So far off from leather I couldn’t see its beauty. After getting my first one it’s mostly what I wear daily…you can get it wet, sweat during a run, wash dishes and not worry about ruining it …and it’s easy to wash if you get it dirty. I’ve truly come to realize it’s real beauty

Oh wow that is pure 🔥🔥🔥!

Has anyone encountered this before? I just received a Rouge Sellier/Saphir jumping today. Ordered from Hermes on Tuesday since nothing from the new release appealed to me. Anyway, the box came with a sticker on it identifying the band inside. It’s a different sticker than the one on the box when you buy from Apple. But I think all previous bands I have purchased directly from Hermes have come in an unmarked orange box. Is this a new thing they are doing? Or did someone maybe forget to take the sticker off before tying the ribbon. Not a big deal either way. I’m mainly curious. The sticker doesn’t look like it’s meant to be permanent like the Apple stickers. It also hangs off the edges of the box a bit, which makes me think it was meant to be removed before shipping.

 

[shaown]

oh interesting - I didn't realize Hermes direct boxes were different than apple direct

 

[jaybar]

Somewhat different. My direct Hermes had no labels on the bottom of the box, but IIRC had a ribbon. I purchased a Jumping from Hermes when Apple was out of stock.

I'm thinking the sticker is there to help with shipping and handling, and meant to be removed. It's got big lettering and a QR code for easy shelving and retrieving. Anyway, I agree with your guess.

Yes if you buy from Apple, the rear of the box has an orange sticker in the bottom right corner that identifies the band inside along with the Apple part number (same as any other Apple band). The box is also sealed in plastic. If you buy from Hermes, the box has no sticker or other identifying markings. And instead of being sealed in plastic, the box is hand wrapped with the Hermes signature Bolduc ribbon. That’s why it was unusual to find a sticker on this box.

New question now that I’ve actually opened the band (which is quite nice): I’ve noticed that the holes to size the band are punched off center. I have tried the band on and it does buckle. But the off center holes push the band up against one side of the buckle and the buckle looks a bit askew on the wrist. It’s not a huge deal but I do worry it might cause the band to wear faster. Do you think it’s worth asking Hermes for an exchange? I hate to send it back knowing it will probably be destroyed. But also these bands are expensive…

Here’s the band next to my Rouge/Rouge, which has correctly centered holes.

Hi. I believe the blue band on the left is from their first iteration of Jumping bands (2021) The one on the right, could be from a later iteration, like 2022. Also the strap on the right looks slightly wider. I wonder if these differences account for the hole centering variations you note.

That’s the Fall 2022 Rouge Sellier/Bleu Saphir band so it’s fairly new.

I’d get it replaced, the holes are misaligned and that’s a defect.

I’m about to join the club after a long wait!

Sometime in 2021 a family member got one as a gift. They don’t wear smartwatches, they don’t even use iPhone! Eventually it made its way to me last month.

Interestingly, must have been bought from Hermes as it had the same sticker @MacDevil7334 showed above. And the band came completely separately, with a brown cardboard insert where it was probably supposed to be underneath the watch portion…

But it didn’t work. Wouldn’t turn on. No receipt but on contacting apple its shortest possible warranty had 40 days left based on when it was made so yay I took it in for replacement (only option in China is go to the store) and I should finally have a series 6 to add to my collection - filling in the only generation I skipped completely.

Question as I mentally prepare to set up the Watch - is there a list or visual somewhere of the exclusive faces?

Happy Monday!

 

[BillGates1969]

Can’t decide on the face to go with my ‘Summer’ Jumping

 

[shaown]

is that Kraft Orange?

 

[BillGates1969]

is that Kraft Orange?

it is indeed. Got it last summer and wore it until October when I got the Bleu Saphir/Rouge Sellier Jumping. Still cold, but I feel Spring is almost here, so time to wear something a bit more cheery

I don’t think this one has been posted yet.

Wish it was in leather but it’s different at least.

 

[moyjoy]

This may be one I change the lugs on. I hope they release face options/colors for these.
