Hermès Edition Owners Thread

That guy def got samples and put his own peel on them. Wild he leaked them out before launch.

I wonder how color accurate their pictures are. I found the eBay listing.

I feel that the eBay pictures show a lighter and richer blue than the marketing pics on Apple or Hermes.

The thing with Hermes is the photos never capture the essence of the color. So if you want Rose Sakura, you have to go to an Hermes store to see what this color looks like IN PERSON.

Hermes colors go by name. So if you're interested in several colors, ask for the names, then go to a boutique to check them out Usually they have the color on a bag or a wallet or any small leather goods. That way, you can decide before hand if you even like the color or not.

And if it’s Kaki and Apple bands 🤷🏻‍♂️

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

I agree. The plastic peel is like vacuumed sealed to the clasp on the Hermes bands I have bought.

So anyone else that has updated to watchOS 11 as underwhelmed as me, from an aesthetic perspective? As most of us feared, no new Hermès face to complement the new bands. Vert Moyen green as an accent for the second hand and the existing Béton for a few background fills is all we get. As others have already noted in previous posts involving the beta RC, the Béton background faces look bad in wrist-down mode: Radial is barely visible, as are the Logo/Moon Phase/Date Brackets on the original faces. Perhaps Apple will correct in an upcoming update if we're lucky.

Excuse me if this is a dumb question, but this is my first time buying an Apple Watch on its release date: Are Hermés Edition watches also sold at Apple stores? I can't see them being available for pickup anywhere on Friday.

I will be purchasing a Hermes Series 10 from Apple. Are any of the Apple Hermes watch bands sold by Apple soft and pliable ? I found the jumping bands way too stiff and uncomfortable and unworkable.

At a select few in upscale locations still I believe. Here is the original list from 2015.

In the last the yarn bands in the Bridon and Tricot lines were. I imagine Torsade continues that.

Select stores; usually very large cities e.g. NY or LA. That said I too saw no in store for launch day in stores that carry them, which is perhaps normal.

The Hermès AU website got updated to show a 46mm Hapi double tour in gold available.

Is this available in any other colour like the Bleu de France or Vert Moyen in other countries?

It was only available in gold for the US.

It sold out a couple of days ago in the US and can no longer be found. So it would appear to be limited release or maybe little stock available for launch day.

Hopefully we see a restock here in the states.

If you’re thinking about it, I would move quickly.

 

[jlsm511]

I guess it's time to start stalking the Hermes website every day hahah. That was the only way I was able to get the Globe-Trotter agenda cover in Orange! Trying to see if any double tours in 46mm drop again. I hesitated on the gold and it sold out by the time I went back. I would love the Blu de France in 46mm but it doesn't look like it exists?

I would take the Bleu de France or Vert Moyen 46mm in a heartbeat, single or double tour

I'm sure after the pre-order hype, wait a while and there will be another restock.

They do when you buy them directly from Hermès

Only premium stores sells them. Otherwise you get them online or Hermes directly.

Bleu was available in the UK but sold out. At the time it was still showing the website with a ‘not available message’ but now it’s gone.

I expect them to come back in stock at some point.

I’m hoping they bring the vert moyen double tour attelage to the UK

For 46mm, Gold is the only option.

Have you called the Hermes store in your country? Perhaps they are coming out but at a later date, after all the pre-order hype.

When I got my Hermes Series 7, the band I really wanted was sold out, so I went for my second choice. THEN when the first choice band became available, I bought it as a stand alone band, after stalking the site for many, many weeks.

In hindsight, I wouldn't settle for a second choice band.

Yes, I called them a few days ago. They said they might become available after launch. To be honest, I don't think the person I spoke to knew a lot because he referred to Apple not specifying what options would be available. This stumped me because I thought Hermes was in control of what band appear on sale.

Anyway, I'll wait for an update on my original pre-order and may wait for new other band options if they ever become available. Although I've seen some videos of the Jet Black version today, I'm getting tempted by that with the Milanese band - that combo would save me around a £1000.

Do certain regular Apple stores offer Apple Watch Hermes to try on? I only saw it in person at an Apple Store up north which is Apple Park visitor center where they had a display of these watches by the iPhone cases.
