Quick question for you guys with the Single Tour bands and the Single Tour Deployment Buckle bands.
If you could order your Hermes again, which band would you have chosen? Is the Deployment Buckle worth the extra $250?
I can’t decide what I would do for my next upgrade. Maybe get a different color/style or spring the extra money for the Deployment. I hate how the Deployment is a package only deal with the watch.
Good question indeed. I own both a Hermès Series O and Series 3. Latter with the deployment buckle an both with the Barenia Fauve strap.
To be very honest the implementation of the Hermès deployment buckle is completely wrong. Just because of one reason as you can not change the strap. I own several vintage IWC's all with deployment buckles but that makes sense as I can change strasp within 30 secs. With the Hermeès you can not take the strap from the buckle. IMHO a great design fault !
So my advise: don't buy the deployment buckle as a future investment, but buy it because if gives additional comfort and less wear on the leather.

I wear three down on the sport band, so sounds like the Deployment would work for me.
Do you all ever get annoyed with the under wrist hump? And still worth the extra $250?
1: not at all
2) is an Apple Watch Hermès worth 1150-1400 bucks ?

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.
Really can't wait for any pics, in the mean time I should improve my Chinese
