5.75 in = 146mm

Mine is 155mm and I had the 41mm and Kilim bands and was using the third smallest hole.

45mm Hermès bands are for 160mm plus wrists.

Do you have a picture of the watch on your wrist to share?

never shared pics online before 🫣
think it’s how the fat is distributed on my wrist, very rounded on all sides, not flat on the top for the watch and strap to sit properly.

think also i measured my wrist size yesrs ago so maybe i got fatter. plus im wearing the strap one inch behind the wrist bone instead of where i measured.

got excited about buying the bleu strap with black connectors somebody posted earlier but it’s only available in 45mm?

Yeah diagonals were not made in the narrower strap. I don’t think they could have fit the design personally.

But Bordeaux is a pretty sweet SBSS 41 exclusive this season. The original plain Bordeaux band from 2017 is pretty hard to find.

All my bands came in with the 90% sale and this is the first time Ive ever worn Hermes leather bands since maybe 2016? Lol

I have the single tour and the deployment buckle.

On the single tour, one hole is too loose and the next one is too tight. LOl

Idk how to even put on the buckle one haha

I am loving the Kilim band so much after I took a chance and added a couple of extra holes. It is sooooooo comfy and now I want to get the black one but of course Apple don't have any available 😭 Hopefully it will be restocked.
Hopefully the orange and black become evergreen options for a few years

Hermes US was out of them yesterday too. Apple had some in stock until this past weekend. The whole Kilim line for 45mm has been sold out on Apple since released. It is by far my favorite Hermes band as I do not have to fear ruining it. It’s all I have worn since 9/22 when I got my Hermes Series 9.

just checked and Hermes US website has 45 mm Noir and Kaki in stock

Back in stock on apple.com/uk for 20-24th delivery.........


Tempted. I did say I would wait until the end of the month though.

Hmm, i want to get it. But now thinking Rouge is the better bet (and will arrive tomorrow if i order before 7pm UK)

I have always wanted a full orange Hermes band (will get the leather one day), but am thinking is the Orange Kilim too much like an Orange Hermes Sports Band. Is the Rouge too much like my Rouge Circuit H.

I did used to be indecisive, but now I am not sure lol.

Why return it? You’ve got the best of both worlds. An everyday band for casual situations and IMO, their highest quality leather band for more formal situations.
Considering a Studio Display too - happy to wait it out whichever way as the orange is a signature colour, so any stock shortages are likely to be temporary.

Can’t see Hermès not doing a band in Hermès Orange!

Having said that, it doesn’t look to be the same shade of orange they use elsewhere, looks lighter to me.

Hi

The tones are different between Hermes sports band and Kilim. The Kilim is a warmer color orange.
