Just noticed the Colvert swift is sold out now and selling for over $600 on eBay. Glad I got mine when I did! Wish I bought the maroon one cause that’s sold out too
Got a tip for us?

Brand new AW Hermès Edition owner here! Just got a Series 2 preowned from eBay but did not notice that the buckle is different from the original and does not have HERMES on top but on the bottom side with different marking! is this legit or something else? Am I missing something??! Going crazy over here hahaha
Do I need to get a partial refund or something from eBay?
What would you suggest?
A happy new year to all!

That’s so bad I wouldn’t even call it a fake. They haven’t even tried to make it look right.
I cannot say for certain, given the fact that the quality of the leather appears to be the correct one and there are correct markings on both bands... the buckle is really something to think about...
Oh well... I have asked for a refund! Thanks
There are more learned members on this forum than me, but it was the buckle that set my alarm bells ringing. It doesn't look like any Apple Watch Hermès buckle I've ever seen, and the engraving of the word Hermès on the buckle (a) isn't in the Hermès font and (b) looks pretty amateurish.
It is true, but the inner writing on the straps appears to be legitimate up to some point, this is what baffles me the most! The buckle on the other hand is completely off! Never seen something like it on a Hermes band at least.
Thankfully it can be conditioned so it is not a problem actually
The stitching looks too large and not neat/even enough, the buckle is blatantly wrong and I’m pretty sure mine had more holes... Those are sweat stains that have seeped in from the side while wearing, this is why I’d never buy secondhand leather straps.
That’s definitely not the single tour that comes with the Apple Watch or the standalone bands that Apple or Hermès sell.
Like another member above mentioned, it’s possibly from the Series 0 Hermès cuff. The inner loop has 5 holes

I think this is it! Even though the watch was advertised as Barenia leather, at least it is an original one (could feel the leather's texture as being quite nice).
Thank you very much for the research!!!

Buckle
Not as fitted to Fauve Barenia single tour (Hermès Series O, 2 and 3).
Strap
Inscriptions make it a confusing one. Yet it is missing a 42 mm mark and second keeper to be sold as single tour.
Could have been fitted to a Hermès cuff so a 'put together'
Definitely worn by some wok chef
On refund: let is know what is in the eBay description

That is definitely the original Hermes band from the series zero cuff band minus the cuff part. It is authentic.

I so want one too! But really can't justify buying another Hermès band...
They still have that for sale at the Apple Store in Sydney Australia though?

Just wondering what happens with Hermès straps that are sold out. Will they make new ones or wait for this years new Apple Watch Series 4 Hermès...if released ever ? Fauve Barenia and Feu Epsom seem always available though
They usually don’t make anymore and come out with new styles.Just wondering what happens with Hermès straps that are sold out. Will they make new ones or wait for this years new Apple Watch Series 4 Hermès...if released ever ? Fauve Barenia and Feu Epsom seem always available though

Wow. That might be the best third party knockoff of any Hermes/Apple product I’ve ever seen.

That looks amazing. I’m tempted to buy it right now!
May also get the Fauve Barenia so I can compare it with the original!
The envy is truly strong over hear. Just know if either of you are ever in Markham, fallen flat drunk on the ground in teh summer, and should I be the first to stop by ... after trying to revive you calling for an ambulance or drunk tank I shall liberate you from said luxurious Apple Hermes watch for a borrowed amount of "precious" time
Like I'd ever know who you where or would know anyone would have such a watch. but for comedy sake and praise sake ... these are incredible watches. Makes my S2 Nike + look so mediocre. Time to step up my game.
If you do, be sure to post pics and a review.
LOTS of pics!
So I ordered a replica Feu Epsom from Taobao just now.
It’s a Chinese only platform and I’m glad I can put my rusty Chinese to use haha
I chatted with the seller and he can’t confirm on the chat on Taobao that the buckle will definitely have a Hermès branding on it but he sort of gave me a wink emoji implying that they will.
He also said he’ll shorten the strap for me as I told him the official 42mm single tour is one hole too long for me.
Will post again when I receive it probably in 3 to 4 weeks.
