The attention for details Is really amazing for this knock off. Even Hermès name prints are there
I really hope it does come with the Hermès engraving.
The seller was being coy about whether it’ll be included.
I showed not only an engraving in the buckle but also on the leather inner side
Guys I have received the Feu Epsom single tour knockoff way earlier than I thought I would.
I got this from a seller on Taobao, a Chinese website similar to eBay and Amazon. However, the site is completely in Chinese and there is no English version. It cost me AUD$84 and delivery was $10, about one fifth of the price of the genuine band from Hermès here in Australia (AUD$499).

Review by a blogger here: https://superphen.co/2016/11/21/best-replica-hermes-feu-epsom-leather-single-tour/
Leather: Definitely much thicker than the genuine Fauve Barenia and Indigo Swift that I have. It feels and smells like real leather. The pattern on the orange side is not as pronounced as the real one that @mhoutman has.
On the back of the leather, there is exactly the same engraving as the genuine ones.
Stitching: It's not as refined as the genuine one, but still a lot better than other knockoffs. The stitching seems ever so slightly further in from the edge of the band than the genuine one.
Buckle: There is engraving of Hermès on the buckle, but the fonts are smaller, and the indents are shallower than the genuine one. The actual buckle is also thinner. However, the latch which passes through the hole in the band is not as sturdy and can be twisted from side to side.
Connectors: Indistinguishable from genuine ones. There is even the tag line "Made for Apple Watch"
Package: It came in an orange box and sleeve, identical to the Hermès packaging. Of course the quality is average.
Buying experience: The whole Taobao site is in Chinese and the buying and tracking are hard to follow if you don't know the language. But once you understand how delivery and payment works (you pay for the band first, it gets delivered to a central warehouse where you can bundle your purchases from different sellers into a single package, then you pay for the delivery separately then).
There is an accompanying app where you can communicate with the seller, make the transaction and track the delivery. The seller is very courteous and cut the length of the leather to the size of the wrist.
Now here are the photos. In comparison photos, the knockoff Feu Epsom is always in the middle. The brown is the genuine Fauve Barenia and the dark blue is the genuine Indigo Swift. Full album is also uploaded to Imgur here: https://imgur.com/a/qUZfo

Amazing. It looks almost as the original. Even the color seems the same as the real thing as on the blog review it seesms more red.
I am not sure on the adapters as they could have fake prints too
Well done mate and nice to see we have the same colors
Awesome write up and pics. Many thanks for posting!
That knockoff is good... Scary good. Without a doubt, the best one out there right now.
$750 for a oct 20th purchased Hermes series 3 with the indigo single tour. It looked brand new.
I sold off the indigo band for $200 same night since I don’t like black bands and have the single deployment band at home (that I probably want to sell too.)
I just wish the guy would’ve added AppleCare cause it’s now over the 60 days and I can’t seem to add it online. Bummer
You’re correct lol. I’m going after the tour rallye/ tour mèdor and feu epsom. I know I said I don’t like black but I meant plain Jane black bands. The ones I want has them jazzy flares!!! ( So whoever has those and wants a single deployment cough cough)Nice buy but Indigo Swift isn't black but very very dark blue
Good grief, you might want to improve your Chinese and get them here

Right? I clicked on it on your other post and that all I got was a Chinese website lolGood grief, you might want to improve your Chinese and get them here
[doublepost=1515695152][/doublepost]So did everyone get AppleCare for their hermes edition? I feel naked without it and not confident
dude, have confidence and keep good care for your Apple gear
#gotbothaceramicgreyandhermèsseries3withoutac
Good news for me I just called Apple to see if I could add it even though it’s well over the date and they just ran diagnostics and let me add it. Apple is so nice.dude, have confidence and keep good care for your Apple gear
Anyone have an authentic Marine Gala Leather Single Tour Eperon d’Or band that they wanna sell?
Someone online offered to sell me the Marine Gala Eperon d’Or leather band but I don’t know if it is legitimate or real. Photos below, can any of you who have the genuine band have a look and tell me if you think it’s real?
those questions can only arise if you buy some awesome Chinese knock off which look almost like the real
I would ask him for a copy of the invoice or original box with date stamp
If they'd only offer the feu epsom in the 38mm size, I'd be all over that in a heartbeat! I have small wrists and so really can't get away with wearing the larger 42mm watch and bands..... Since I don't read Chinese and aside from that really am not fond of buying knock-offs of any product, I am not interested in the one from TaoBao, even though it does look surprisingly close to the genuine article and is available in the 38mm size.
Same here! I have the Eperon D'Or in 38mm which came with my watch but would love to have the Feu Epsom and/or the Rallye in 38mm. The Hermes choices for 38mm right now are nil.
Might have came across the deal of the year already for myself.
I was browsing on OfferUp and found a Hermes Single Deployment 42mm for $180! So I message the guy to meet
EXCEPT THERE WAS THIS.....
So i ended up taking it for $160. He said he used to work at Apple that was his excuse. He also had a Space Black Link bracelet for $350 but I didn’t get a chance to look at it.
[doublepost=1515840925][/doublepost]It looks a tad bit darker but maybe it’s the lighting or it’s been sitting in a display case all it’s life.
