LOS ANGELES BABY!!
@athousandbands Are the Kilim deployment bands easier or more difficult to manage than the leather deployment bands. I find the Kilim ones very easy to manage. I am considering a leather one, but not if it is more difficult.
They both are easy to use. I have all the Kilim bands and the Ebene and Noir deployment bands and that’s why I like them. Because they are so easy to slip on and off.

Is there any info on the underside of the box? Maybe the weird look is because it’s the old noir band in “box” leather?

We know they faked 18k gold for the sake of the display case but I don’t think they would need to cut corners in an Hermes store or Hermes-wealthy Apple Store? Given we now know Apple thinks Hermes leather is worth 30 bones.
There was a band in box?! 🥹

That said, it's weird they didn't post a pic of the pointy end that has the Hermes stamp.

looks like you were onto something. They initially called it anemone and it’s darker so I assumed it was a first gen.

But they’ve now updated the posting and called it a cassis.

So not rare.

Good eye!
Haha I messaged them with Bandbreite screenshots. Poor seller was sold it as Bordeaux by another ebayer. Not rare but definitely “fresh” as that band is fairly new and you don’t see a ton of listings.

Prob one that sold out before the fire sale? I def want the Jumping version.

I think the stitching gives it away since Anemone 2 has such vibrant contrast to it.

Yes for sure! But the way iPhones process color in photos I would not be surprised if I got it and it was actually Anemone.
Yeah one shouldn’t assume it’s even getting the stitching contrast right. It’s a shame they don’t put 41mm on the underside.

Whatever it is, in this game of eBay telephone I think cassis is a lot closer than Bordeaux

Yep, I looked up things that color too when you asked lol.

Actually the colors aren’t much better on the Hermes site. I was disappointed at how dark rouge h was in person on the tag I bought.

View attachment 2306423 View attachment 2306424 New band day! I’ve always found the Twill to be expensive, since it’s almost the same price as leather. But I really like this design. It’s quite smooth and shiny, so it looks more classy and “formal” than the other Jumping bands I have.

This combo is amazing!

Yes and it bugs most of us.

The thing is: it does not bug me that it's there at this particular position (I actually find it better off-center so the watch face doesn't shrink), it bugs me that I can't turn it off altogether.
Think of it as a designer's echo of the Hermès accent grave. Oui oui? Eet's not a bug, eet's a feature 😆

Kilim update: I’ve had the strap for about a week now. My wrist seems to have got used to the initial discomfort I felt and I mostly don’t feel it any more. Mostly. It’s still not as soft and smooth as the leather deployment. But it’s my daily driver and I’m keeping it. I just love how it looks.

I am thinking, possible to swap out the kilim bands’ deployment buckle with the leather’s normal buckle?

Then the leather ones would come with deployment, which is more needed since leather creases (that line at the holes) each time I put on and take off. The kilim won’t have this problem, so it can use the normal buckle.
