This is the exact band I selected when ordering my first Hermès Apple Watch last week, which should arrive in a few more days! (I’m not in the USA though)

I’m actually planning on selling the band because I only want the Hermès watch for the Space Black case and the Hermès faces (is this heresy in this thread? 😄).

I feel the current heresy du jour is to say one doesn’t have interest in the Kilim band. 😛

I ended up buying the Toile H off a seller on eBay, new in box. It was $299 (vs $349 MSRP) and I had some eBay and Apple Pay offers on my AmEx that I think should knock at least $35 off that, assuming the offers kicked in correctly.

And, maybe this is a bit insane to admit, but I only did it because I had a dream last night about buying the Toile H, so when I saw the stackable credit card offers (hopefully) and a seller on eBay selling an unopened box, I couldn’t resist.

Got my orange single tour 45mm S9. Love the look so far. However,

1. With the leather strap, even using the smallest hole, I feel the band is too loose. How can I add a few holes? Will Hermes store punch holes for me?
2. With the included orange Hermes Sport band, it only comes with the M/L strap. I need S/M. Is still possible to get the 45mm S/M Hermes orange sport band?

Thank you!

Sorry, totally off topic. What kind of keyboard do you have (in the background)? Looks interesting...

You know you're addicted when you start dreaming about them 😁

Sounds like you got a good deal via the eBay one! That at least hurts the wallet a little bit less 😇

I still haven't worked out how I should sell my band (maybe eBay), although it's possible that when it arrives I'll see it and won't be able to part with it!

I know it sounds stupidly obvious, but my hesitation about the Kilim is the price. In Australia it’s $549, which is a lot of money obviously. Ultra bands & braided solos are $149, so I could buy some combination of three of those, plus a regular/Nike sport band or loop, and still have $30 left over. Of course it’s better quality than any of those bands, but will I wear it as much as three $149 bands + a $69 band combined?

I know it’s not all about money and mathematics, but… it is a bit?

So, guess what I ordered today, for delivery next week…

When was the Hermes version launched? Was it available as a series 0 when the solid gold was available?

Ordered Monday lunchtime, delivery estimated next week. Delivered Tuesday morning!

(With Clay BSL from the same order, because why not?)

Impressed with the feel of the band, will fiddle around with sizing. Have a couple of meetings tomorrow, so feels like a good day to take it for a spin.

Incidentally: part of what got me off the fence yesterday was seeing it go from ‘delivery in two days’ to ‘delivery in a week’. Given that the Orange has been out of stock for weeks, didn’t want to see the Noir go too. (They were my two favourite colours of the range.)
And I noticed today that Noir is also now out of stock on Apple Au - so, phew!

Yeah, the length of the double tour even on 45mm is restricted by the length of the band box so it’s not much larger than the size of the 41mm variant and folks with larger wrists aren’t able to enjoy it. I’ve been tempted but I’d need to “double attelage” swap it with the extended lugs and punch an extra sizing hole or two if that’s even possible, not really worth it. Seems like it only barely fits those on the smallest sizing hole on a 45mm leather single tour, if at all.

I think the regular Apple Watch was launched during the spring of 2015, so by the time Hermès edition launched in the fall I already had an Apple Watch so I must of not been paying attention.

Received my 41mm Toile H today! (And the eBay and Apple Pay credits hit too!)

So, it seems that it fits best on me on the smallest hole. I'm a bit surprised, if only because the Bridon double tour is almost too small. If I ever bought one of the leather single tours, I wonder if I'd have to punch a hole in it... just sort of unexpected.
