Can anyone help me out on how to actually order this replica Hermes watch band? I am looking for the dark navy Hermes 42mm band from the site listed before called Taobao... but I cannot figure this out! They have more than one blue... I translated to English on google chrome, but I still cannot figure out how to order it and have it shipped to me in the USA.
Is there another way to get this same replica band in dark blue from someone or somewhere else??
Thank you!!

The translation to english from left to right in the colour choice tab is
- Sapphire blue
- Peacock blue
But the two different colours aren't shown in their pictures further down the page.
Do you know a friend who can read chinese? The website is not non-English user friendly and there are a few steps to go through. All their correspondence are done through the app and via SMS but they're all in chinese.
[doublepost=1515989809][/doublepost]I got sent more pics of this Marine Gala Eperon d’Or band and I’m convinced this is genuine.
What does everyone think is a reasonable price? I was asked to pay USD$185.
I think 185 is cheap if it is in that condition and real. Hermes bands sell for 330-430 each for single tour.
Did you ask about proof of purchase?
I did but she said she didn’t have one as she bought it off a friend who had access to an old display unit. I know it sounds ominous but the photos look genuine to me. I’m not sure what to do urghhhhh
Finally had the time to swap the Deployant to the mèdor

I bought a display band and it had this on it so I’m not sure any more if I would jump on it

That looks like the real deal if you don’t jump on it at that price I will lol

Wow that looks amazing! Did that deployment come with another AW Hermès band? Did you do the swap yourself? Shame that my wrist is too small for the deployment to sit properly.
You reckon it looks real? I did a few comparisons with pics on here and Instagram and I’m quite convinced.
Where did you get your display band?
The deployant came from the “display only” band that I got from offerup like a Craigslist thing. The guy said he worked at Apple before and got it when they phased out the series 0 or 2 (I forget) Hermes watches from display.
Yes I did it myself with just a mini flat head screw driver to remove the spring bar from the buckle and swap.
The used price is $150-$280 for the single tour regular buckle Hermes that I’ve seen so your $185 seems to be good. And it’s not in the “if it’s too good to be true, then it’s fake” realm.
[doublepost=1516001092][/doublepost]After inspecting your pics some more I can for sure say it’s authentic! The buckle is real deal “stainless steel”. Is correct and so is the dept of the Hermes. Ask for $160 just for kicks lol

Why would that band be part of an old display unit?
I suspect it’s stolen, but genuine.
Assuming I complete my workout tomorrow, I get the 1,000 Move Goals badge. In honor, bf has said I can pick out a Hermes band. Is the Noir Swift Double Tour black? is it a permanent or limited edition. Any pics? The Feu Epsom in Feu was my first choice. Was it ever offered in 38mm? Ugh. Decisions!
Still can't figure out how to order the navy blue replica Hermes band.... any help greatly appreciated!
Talking about this one below! Thank you!

You want the blue made in Epsom leather right? Choose this
The other blue is made of swift leather
I thought about it and couldn’t get myself to buy it. It’s a good price but without a receipt I really wanted to see it in person before paying that amount.
I just ended up buying another Fauve Barenia with deployment buckle from her. LOL
How much did you get that for?
[doublepost=1516325588][/doublepost]I have a extra indigo Swift 42mm if anyone is interested very lightly worn
She charges RMB 399 for the standard single tour, and additional RMB 50 for the deployment clasp.
So around USD 70.
You’re talking about the replica single tour right? The replica Feu Epsom I already have is definitely a great deal. Great workmanship and definitely worth its while.
Will report back when I get the Fauve Barenia and will compare with the genuine one I have.
Hi LeBron – – I’d be interested in your extra indigo Swift?! I’m trying to figure out how to message you.How much did you get that for?

My Fauve Barenia knockoff from Taobao just arrived and it is amazing just like the Feu Epsom.
The leather smells, feels and looks like the genuine band that Apple and Hermès sell. I also asked for a deployment buckle and it is much better quality than I expected. I don’t have the genuine version to compare but I don’t think it’s far off.
Photos below. The knockoff is on the watch itself. I bought the genuine single tour back in October so it’s developed a patina over 3 months. I’ll use the knockoff from now on!

These knockoffs are remarkably accurate to genuine, it’s amazing how stunning they are.
Though I’ve always despised knockoff bands, these are well worth buying if for no other reason than piece of mind knowing I won’t completely freak out if I accidentally get it wet or some other catastrophic damage. Wear the genuine while out with the wife and the knockoff band day-to-day.
Hey any idea why the Hermès bands get such bad reviews on Apple site

Probably because people don’t understand how leather works or should be treated. Natural leather stains and darkens. If they don’t, then they’ll probably not real leather.
Man I wish I read Chinese I want the deployment buckle but I have no clue nor access to a translator
[doublepost=1516830456][/doublepost]Do you guys order via Apple or Hermès site
