@Nikhil72 @Alicia1 So I got the exact same leather hole punch from Amazon and added one hole to each of my orange and kaki Kilim. I’m ok with the results. The kaki one is slightly off centre but that was my first try. The orange one is perfectly aligned. The holes are smaller in size but the buckle have no issues going through them

Probably not for those who might look to resell these bands, or are very OCD with alignment and same size holes. I don’t plan on selling these off ever so I’m fine with that. If you check your leather bands and the hole you normally use, they are pretty worn anyway.

Now the watch fits perfectly and don’t slide down to my wrist :)

I'd rather take it to hermes and have it punched by them, then you're not voiding your warranty and if it ends up going wrong they'll replace it...

When they did it for me for the leather bands, they made disclaimers before they took it out the back that the new holes won’t look the same as the original, and that it may not align properly.

The feeling I got was if they did something not to your satisfaction they’re not gonna give you a replacement.

Does anybody happen to know the difference between the Vert Cypres Swift calfskin and Noir Swift calfskin? They both look exactly the same.

I think you did a great job! Realistically, it's one of the smallest items on a watch so nobody will notice anyways.

I think that translates to “cypress green”; looks green on my display, especially compared to the black watch face

Guess who’s here!!!!! Navy Bleu Kilim Band and in the Suede pouch too like Apple used to ship the leather bands in. Bought directly from Hermes website in US. NO white paper crap pouch!!! Love the color!!!! For some reason it’s saying my first image of the box with the Hermes ribbon is too big. Also the deployment buckle comes wrapped with plastic on it and apples did not.

This color is not a navy blue in my opinion. More like a soldier blue which is fine with me. It’s a warm and not cold color and I love it. Probably going to just order the Khaki from Hermes too for that pouch!!! lol.

me too :) I absolutely love it! not more than the orange but my sneaker collection doesn't support orange every day.

agree on the color too. I use the indigo watch highlights, not the navy. paper pouch :(

I've looked at these pics SO many times. but light fabric on a watch band scares me.

I am really tempted by the Ecru Toile Gold.

It is really lovely, and a very versatile colour that will match with most things. I have a lot of tan leather accessories and shoes. It's nice now having a band that will compliment those, but that I don't need to worry about so much in hot or poor weather.

The woven nylon is pretty hardy, and also cleans up very well with some water, detergent, and gentle brushing with something like an old toothbrush. I've never had an issue with the Jumping bands. It's certainly less of a worry than lighter coloured leather!

I am 99% ordering it. Just looking it is showing in stock in Hermes UK (but 5-6 business day delivery as after 1pm) - this would take me to 9th/10th October and it is showing as 13th on Apple.com/uk. And I have vouchers for Apple ...so it is free? (that's how it works lol isn't it).

So rather than spending £299, I am saving £299 by buying form Apple direct? ;)

I’ve been getting Space Black since series 0. When they moved Space Black to exclusively Hermes, it was my first experience on any level with the brand. I questioned the cost until I experienced their leather. I’m a watch guy with tons of straps of all different materials, and completely appreciated the quality I was getting and the premium was understood. I still primarily wear it on my matching Space Black Link Bracelet, but the leather is nice to change up periodically.

I skipped Series 8 and went with the Ultra last year. Excellent version of the Apple Watch. It was great for a lot of my outdoor activities, but not what I would grab for every environment. This year I decided to give the Series 9 a go, and didn’t realize how much I missed this form. Great to have it back!

LOS ANGELES BABY!!
Oh god, I did it again!!!! Help me!!!

Just bought 45mm Kilim Noir from Hermes website. Will be here tomorrow. You may ask why do I need this band in every color, and I would answer, I dont really know, I just love their comfort!!! Will post pics tomorrow.

It wasn’t on the site like 15 minutes ago and then decided to check again and it was there.

Waiting on my Kaki (as Hermes calls it) from Apple to be shipped mid October. Wh on is fine, lord knows I have spent enough. But over the last year I didnt buy any bands so I am more than making up for it.

Can’t wait to see the Noir on my SBSS. the mismatched lugs don’t bother me, lol

Today is a rouge day…

I’ve had it on since the first day of it being released, everyday and no signs of sweat after exercising and it’s hot here in south Louisiana!!
