After wearing the lighter band for a while I noticed it gotten really dirty on edges . At first I thought this happened from wearing jeans and now I am convinced it’s from a winter jacket and long sleeved shirts - it’s def great for a t-shirt climate, though. If things like that woo bug you, go with black.

Thanks for highlighting that. Staining will really annoy me, especially on something costing so much. I had the same problem with the White sport band.

I've got a Noir and Beton being delivered tomorrow so I can finally compare in person and decide which to keep. My bet is on Black

Your secret is safe with me. Although, your creativity inspired me too. I settled for creating an empty contact with the circular Hermès logo. I might go with this for a while…

@FTyler … Any chance of a short tutorial how to do this? I have no idea. :(

Sure. Boardiesboi posted a reply too, but it's pretty easy.
I just created a new empty Contact on my phone with no phone number/email, etc. and named it as Hermès in the Company field.
If you search Google for Hermès icons, you'll find several that you can download, then use for the picture on your new contact.
Lastly, go back to your watch face and use the new contact in the Bottom Complication for the Radial face.

This happened with my Orange Kilim.

I’ll take it to an Hermes store for care/cleaning, when I’m near one.

I mixed a baking soda w/dish soapy water (dawn dish soap)making a paste and used a toothbrush to clean the strap …dirt comes right off… BUT it’s annoying to do every time

How did you find the Torsade double tour? Any pics to share?
Click to expand...

I really liked the style of the torsade double tour but I don’t think the colour matched with my skin tone so I’ve returned the watch. Perhaps a leather option might look better on me or the attelage double tour. Here are some photos.

To be honest, I’ve also found the watch to look too big on my skinny wrists. Would love to get opinions from others. This is the 42mm. I’m so used to the 40mm S4 and a 36mm mechanical watch that it seems like a big jump in size (photo attached for comparison).

I’ve now ordered 2 more Kilim watches one noir and one Beton. Should be delivered today.

I think you’re right. It does look a bit large. UGH, sorry. (On the plus side, I think the color works.) I upgraded from the s8 and I’ve been having the same feeling with the 42 on my wrist. And of course I just read an article about how small watches are trending…. Womp womp womp.

Yeah. To be honest I think I’ll end up returning the 2 Kilim versions I’ve received today just because of the size. I may just buy a jet black to use for the gym/fitness/sleep tracking .

I hope they go back to a 40mm in a future version.

IMO, I think the size looks fine.

I love the color of this band, I’m just not thrilled by how the pattern looks. Wish they had done a Tricot in this color.

At first glance I thought it was the 46mm watch. You may have wait several years for a new case size. Apple always changed case sizes every three years and this is the first year of the 42 and 46mm.

If they continue the pattern and go to 43/47mm with the S13, they almost have to offer a 39mm… right?

My orange Kilim arrived today. Love it. My collection is complete (for now) with the Noir, Béton and Orange.

I never thought I’d own an orange band but that Hermès orange is something else!

My Hermès Orange sport strap arrived from Japan yesterday - lovely.

It’s kind of redundant now though, as I bought an S10 Hermès anyway!
