The blanc bands scare the hell out of me, I’d be paranoid just wearing one of those. I feel like looking at it or breathing on it wrong would damage the appearance.
Got a tip for us?

To be honest, that doesn’t look as nice as I had imagined. Thanks for sharing!
Im gutted! It looked so much nicer online, it was an almost off white colour, but in real its pure white
I also had to punch an extra hole at a Hermès store for my Fauve Barenia.
I wouldn’t use the big holes to hold the connectors. It looks like there is room for one extra hole to be punched.
Would you try out the indigo rallye instead?
I have to agree, and it doesn’t look good with the ceramic, the whites are totally different — if I have to be totally honest it looks really cheap, the black or indigo is a much better fit
My first question, is it pronounced 'her-mees' like 'herpes', or 'err-mees'? I've heard it both ways. I assume it's the former, not the later. I thought of getting the 'double tour' for dress, but don't know how it really looks on a person. At one point I was looking for a seriously wide leather double buckle cuff style, but couldn't seem to find anything.
I love the Blanc Rallye and wish it were 38mm also. Not sure about it with the white ceramic watch. But you see it in person and know what you want/like. I'm seriously considering the double tour version. It would be fantastic for summer . . .
Tried out the Nike midnight fog sport loop on my H today, loving these colors!
Just got my indigo/rouge double tour band in the mail today! The leather is so supple and the color combination is very striking! Wish the single tour version was available for the 38mm since I have skinny wrists, but I thought I would give the double tour a try anyways

Does the leather look more blue/dark blue in person?
The pics make it look almost black.
Oops! I’ll post a better lit photo once I’m home. It’s a darker blue, I think the Apple store pictures portray it pretty accurately.
Very nice! That indigo blue is gorgeous, especially with the red (rouge) edging. ThanksJust got my indigo/rouge double tour band in the mail today!

I really like it too. But I can’t convince myself to buy the 42mm indigo rallye at that price...
Will you be buying it?
Hopefully this picture makes it look a little more blue, had to get the lighting just right
How thick are your wrists if you don’t mind me asking?
160mm, I use the last hole on the band, fits quite comfortably.
Thinking of surprising my wife for Mother’s Day with a Hermès 38mm”. I bought her the S0 Aluminum two years ago but she ended up returning it since her biggest complaint was you needed your phone by you. That problem goes away now with LTE. She uses a Fitbit now but seems kinda over it.
She’s always loved Hermès and I’ve never gotten the opportunity to buy her anything Hermès. She mentioned she wants an Apple Watch so it seems like a good idea.
I am just debating on getting either the single tour or the marine gala. The Single Tour is showing a delivery date of May22-June 6th but I’ve found Apple often under promises and over delivers. Is that the case with these watches?
I’d like to have it in time for Mother Day. I like the Marine Gala but I am not sure if she’ll like the pattern as it’s kinda busy. That ships immediately and might be my plan B.
Thoughts????

I think getting her a S3 Hermès is a great gift! It’s really the cheapest entry into the Hermès world, like their leather bracelets.
I personally think the Marine Gala is gorgeous and I regret not getting that when it was released. It's instantly recognisable and adds more flair to the watch.
I have the Fauve Barenia single tour too and one thing to note is that it gets darker/patina over time and is less resistant to water stains.
You can order both from Apple and see which one turns up first and return the other within the 14 day return period.
Or you can buy the one you want directly from Hermès. But you can’t return it once it’s been opened.
Share pics when you do get it and let us know what your wife thinks!
Thanks. I placed an order for the single tour and I’ll monitor when it comes. I might order the marine gala as well as Mother’s Day gets closer and give her the choice.
I wish Apple would ship it in a Hermès bag. Hermès told me I could only get that bag if I bought from them which I refuse to do since their return policy is terrible. Does anyone know if I can go to the Apple store and get a Hermès bag? It wasn’t available for store pick up.

I’m on business in San Francisco and the Apple Store in Union Square had the Hermès Single Tour in stock and I bought it. She told me Apple usually would honor a return last 30 days but she couldn’t guarantee it. I might just give it to my wife when I get back on Friday from my trip as an early Mother’s Day gift. Apple was able to give me the Hermès bag as well.
