What tools would I need to do this? Sorry if this has already been shared, I can’t find the post about what tools are needed to do the swap. Don’t want to risk damaging the leather bands..
I have both and I believe the answer is yes from what I can tell.
You're an enabler - I just went online and bought that band.... It will be here Tuesday. Thanks !
Which is important, as I believe this is the first time a deployment clasp has been offered in 41mm. If you are willing to pay for a Kilim, you could swap the deployment buckle to a leather band if you wanted.
Ugh I’m eyeing that band now too, especially since it appears the 45mm Navy/Rouge twill is no closer to seeing the light of day. The Noir/Gold looks really sharp!
Haha! It’s the only non-kilim band I’m willing to pay for! I was considering the Navy twill as well, but thought that looked similar to denim colour and material, so the black one would be more classy.
Do you find it stiff or might it break in eventually? I tried going back through this thread on discussion of the newer Toile H and the new twill jump and how soft they are.
I have the Toile H and find it about the same as the ‘second gen’ jumping bands. Quite flexible and very silky looking - not stiff at all.
I assume it’s double layered? One for each color? The Casaque are slightly thinner and more flexible for their single color uni-layer build
The twill is stiff, more like the first gen jumping. The toile is very soft though. I’m curious whether it’ll break in too, I’ve never worn my jumping often enough to know..
I was looking to see if any of you might be open to doing a bit of sleuthing since I haven't been able to verify a band model. I've only got one more band in my wishlist (Lime Epsom) and I think I may have found it. The issue is I'm not certain if it's the Epsom or the Swift leather Lime that was done more recently. Here's a pic of the box. When I do a google search using the model number there is a company (Tejar) that shows it as the Lime Epsom (they have it as out of stock), but without any other verification I'm still taking a gamble on buying this one sealed in the box from a buyer.
If a kind soul who already owns the Lime Epsom (and ideally the Swift Lime as well) is willing to compare their boxes to see which one this picture matches I'd be most obliged.

There are two Lime bands; MPXE2 is the Lime Epsom only available with 42mm lugs, the Lime Swift (MKFQ3/MKG93) is only available in 41mm/45mm lugs. So yes that’s the Lime Epsom.
Will do, I may do a spread of all my bounty from the past month, which is when I caught the fever.
Yeah I have two in mine, fits fine. You can squeeze in three at a push, but it's very tight.
Most "mens" bracelets are available in T3 to T6 sizing, which covers 155mm to 195mm, so if you fit a 45mm Hermès watch band one of the sizes should work for you.
Yes it seems pretty secure. It's a neat mechanism, and doesn't require much force to operate. I suppose that could pose a risk of accidental release, but as it is flush with the rest of the clasp I don't think it will be an issue. I love the look of it.
Cassis/Magnolia Hermès Jumping Single Tour
Pardon if this topic has already been discussed, but is anyone putting odds on what the new series 10 watch will be with regards to the lugs? I read that Apple sees the current design as not efficient in the sense that the space for putting the lugs into the watch could be better utilized for internal components and a stronger magnet type (which is more flush with the watch body) would be employed instead.
If that's the case then I'd imagine we could all buy new lugs and replace them (as I'm guessing Apple would want to placate previous buyers by at least offering to sell the new lugs as standalone), and I'm also assuming the horizontal sizing won't change (or won't change drastically), but what I am concerned about is that if they are using the lug space for the new watch design that any new lug type will have to have some sort of magnet that will still have have a depth of it's own (in addition to the space used by the new watch design) -- and therefore there's a good chance the length will be longer for this new design and we'll all be using different holes (or in my case creating new holes since I'm already on the last one🥴).
Lots of assumptions I know, but perhaps some of you have more insight into what might happen next fall. I hope I'm explaining all this correctly.
