Hello everybody,

I have an Ultra 2 watch and went to Hermes store to buy Clou De Selle leather band but they didn't have it. Also searched on the website and didn't find it.

Do you know if they cancelled this edition?
It's no longer being made. Your store might be able to help track one down or you might have to look on eBay, etc. for one.
 
I just bought today the space black link brazalet before they discontinue it next week. Cause I think it might be a better fit for there black ultra, just in case.
I always wanted to have a space black Hermes too, and this one matched perfectly.
The old black Link Bracelet doesn't fit the Ultra 2.

What a shame that the Kilim Simple Tour in blue isn't available for the 42mm case.

By the way, I might've found a reseller still having the old stainless steel link bracelet in stock. It says "38mm" which should fit the new 42mm case, as far as I know? Even though they are compatible, will they fit the case perfectly as the new 42mm straps?

Yeah it does.

Actually that pic is it on my U1, but I do use it on my U2 too!
Can put it on now on the U2 I'm wearing now and take another pic if you like, but I assure you it does fit the U2. It is a tight fit and not easy to slide in like say a Sport Loop.

Another caveat is that my Link bracelets (I have two) are from the very first Apple Watch in 2015. There may be a slight difference in fit but doubtful.

I agree. I would have gotten that straight away from apple’s website. Last year though in spring they came out with the kaki kilim bands in the smaller size where as in the fall they only had them in the larger size.

No that's absolutely brilliant. Means I can but the black ultra 2 and fit my black link bracelet to it. Thanks for the correct information.

Wow these bands are going away?! Yep they are phasing out the space black and silver for the slate and natural titanium. But these bands are still in stainless steel. Were there still Apple Watch series 9 displayed in the Apple Store? Just curious.

I was at the Hermes store today. Saw Jaune D'or and Vert Criquet bands. They are such beautiful colors. This photo doesn't do it justice. You just have to see it in person.

Also, I think I'm the luckiest girl because I probably just purchased the last Rose Azalee band in the entire world!

Very pretty color! Last of the S9 Hermes stainless steel Apple Watch ⌚️
 
IMO QC took a dip somewhere around the S4 in terms of band tolerances. I have a few newer bands that are tight/loose in the slots. Likely found a dud on display.
 
that's a ultra 2? I tried it in the Apple Store and it wouldn't fit. Was told it fitted the Ultra 1 not the 2. Glad to be proven wrong if that's the case
Apple Watch Ultra and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 had no exterior changes. Apple Watch Ultra 2 just got a new color in black titanium in last week’s event.
 
This paragraph on the Hermès website seem to suggest they may send the watch case first the and Grand H band separately later? I remember someone in this thread mentioning it but is it confirmed?

I disagree. I think they are saying that the entire order (watch plus band) won’t ship until the end of October.
 
Is anyone getting the Blue de France Kilim band?

I still haven't seen a real Kilim in real life, so I thought I'd try one this year. I have a few orange bands, and I want wanted something colorful, so I am trying the Blue.

I'm curious to compare it to the $8 Aliexpress knock-off Kilim I bought last year. It's actaully been a great band to wear while running errands around town. It's been a nice alternative to a nike sports band or apple sports band. I'm guessing the real Kilim will be on a whole different level though.

I came across a few real life pictures of the new Blue de France Kilim band on ebay. I don't know how this person has the band already, but the pics look real. Here is one for anyone that is interested in the new color.

I have one on order from Apple, and should get it Friday. I'm hoping and assuming it is similar in color to the Hermes leather Blue de France that I have.

These watches showing in the case at the Hermes Store were they Series 9? I would not think they could be showing series 10 yet. I would love to get my hands on a series 9. But may end up waiting till next year for my Hermes. Hermes has a few stores here in Las Vegas may have to go take a look.

Those AirTags are discontinued as well. Might as well snag one for $349.

Are we sure this is authentic? I don’t remember the clasp coming with that style of plastic peel.

Oh, I didn't know. I was surprised when I called in and they just have one Rose Azalee band available in the storage room. I just had to have it.

I didn't know the display case wasn't updated, but I don't own any AirTags. :p:(;)
