I don‘t have it, actually, as the Rouge/Kraft Jumping Tour scratched my Rouge itch nicely already. 😊



First of all, this is super nice of you! 🙏

The listing looks good, too (even if mislabled as Jaune Ambre), price is right … but Poshmark only works within North America, doesn‘t it? Because I‘m in Europe, actually …

Edit: when trying to create an account, the only european country selectable is the Uk (I‘m in Germany). The other countrys are USA, Canada, Australia and India. So strange …
Afaik you have to be in Canada to use Posh Canada

Te-hehe, thanks -- I did go just a bit overboard!

I really do like the Kilim look and fit, but I wasn't into any of the other colors to be honest. Hopefully more Kilim options for the spring will entice me. Perhaps it's a case of certain colors just not working with my skin tone, but both the navy and burgundy were both surprisingly blah when I tried them on. I do love the Bridon bands -- and I'm sure I'm in the minority here but I think the Braidon style was the best band of this latest collection. I wish the 41mm Bridon colors came in 45mm too!
I thought you sold me on the Bridon, then I looked at my house and even my nails and realized the whole universe must have been conspiring 😆

Thanks frustrating. Yea it's really a crapshoot with this one. I noticed that she listed it incorrectly too. Good it keeps the scent off for other would be lime hunters 😆.

That does sound tricky. I'm a Poshmark US shopper and I think I can order it even though she's in Canada, so if you ever get ahold of her then perhaps you could use me as an intermediary. The real difficulty might be shipping it as she may only ship to a Canadian address. Know any Canadians?

It's all crazy odds, as she hasn't even been active for almost a year, but you never know. So close yet so far.

Yeah, that's all a very (too) long shot, but I really appreciate your helpfulness!

Man, this is like an old scar suddenly starting to itch again. I'll have to start looking around again, I guess ... What is really quite strange is that there are so many more Hermès listings in the US (and Japan) than in, say, France, the home of the H. "Importing" from there would be super easy for me …

So then, my conundrum. I am asking on here as I know which way it will go!

£400 of apple vouchers left. My options:

1. Trade in my Ultra 1 to Apple for £340 and get an Ultra 2 for effectively £60
2. Buy a Kilim band (I am partial to the Rouge H for some reason) and still have £101 of vouchers left.
3. Buy a Hermes S9 with Rouge H band for £1279, no trade in as my Hermes S7 is only 'worth' £140 and I want to have an Ultra as well, so I spend £879 and get a S9 and a Kilim
4. Do nothing. Look at the vouchers in my account and pat myself on the back for not wasting them on goods I dont need :)

I personally would probably cave and do #2; but if I looked and it wasn’t immediately available I would take it as a sign to wait and do #3 on an S10 next year.

I am erring towards option 1 as just checked and my S7 Hermes is now on 82% battery health and I still have Apple Care going. That should fix my battery issues. Go for Ultra 2 now, replace the Hermes S7 battery shortly and then get a S10 Hermes in September.

In the meantime hope they release a Bambou Kilim….
I like option 1. That trade=in value on Ultra 1 is unusually generous from Apple. Get it while you can!

BTW, I did option 1.5, which is Ultra 1 trade-in with Kilim chaser. Went with Kaki and am not looking back. Love it!

Mine also goes there but is comfortable - is it new? Have you worn deployment bands before (I hadn't)?

I found mine 'grew' on me and now is really comfortable.
Does yours leave an indent?

I haven’t worn a deployment in forever. My leather one on the same hole is a tad looser.

Ty for helping

Love the synchronicityof space and time! One thing I have not seen mentioned on the Bridon is how unbelievably soft it is on the wrist. I thought Hérmes Leather was silk, but every time I put on the Bridon band, it is just such a comfortable feeling. Is that true of the DT, as I have the Single?

Went with option 1 & 2 lol (buy AWU2 & buy Kilim) - new AWU2 (trade in AWU1) but paid the difference in new vouchers as get 4% off with work (all my vouchers are bought like that). You need to pay the full price upfront then they refund you the trade in. Basically got the AWU2 for £767 with discounts and will get £340 for AWU1.

However, as I paid with all gift cards the £340 trade in will be given back to me as a gift card, so will buy Rouge H Kilim with the voucher :)

Win, win, win :)

I'm selling a mint condition Series 8 Space Black with Noir band in the marketplace if anyone is interested.

So the 90% off employee fire sale of Hermes bands has, thus far, come to absolutely nothing on the resale market in the States. If anything I’ve just seen bands like Vert Rousseau offered for near retail, well more than before when the employee ebayer was letting EPP orders go for under 200usd

Either the deluge is yet to come or they just didn’t have that many to sell? Or all the buyers are not of a flipping orientation?
