The Von Holzhausen Watchband Portfolio is nice. All bands? No, only six. But that’s enough to me for traveling. Bands aren’t stored in “pages” like most other organizers so I’m not worried about the keepers being flattened or elastics leaving an imprint on leather bands.
I also have their smaller Accordion Pouch in my daily carry sling bag for when I feel the need to swap in a Stainless Steel or Sport Band while out and about. Wouldn’t put a leather Hermès band in that one though as it compresses.

I usually carry some bands with me travelling. Not in a nice case, but kind of a heap in a plastic bag though. Believe it or not, but at the Airport security I was asked, what I do with these bands. The answer to the female agent "I change them regularly, like you do with your jewellery" was accepted with a smile and a grin from her male collegue.

I have yet to see anyone with a 44/45/46mm Apple Watch with this band.
Why would the TSA ask you about these things? These bands are just accessories and can stay in your personal item or carry on bag.
Always fear for the worst, that can happen with TSA:
After one heavy incident at an airport, where the TSA agent insulted me to carry long knives in my carry-on baggage and ran my bag multiple times trouth the scanner, not showing me, what he "saw", I always present particularly the polyelastomer ones visibly to anyone. The leather ones are not critital, but I do prefer not to separate things in an extra specific way. Not discovering my "knives", she finally showed my, what she was looking for...
I did not accept her excuse at the very end.
You’ve never had an unglamorous job where your boss had you do things you didn’t really want to do?
Yes I did.
Instead of insulting me continuosly, one could have starting to communicate with me. That simple.
Those both look great. Thank you. I'm on the road a lot and like to carry a few bands with me and the often end up scattered in the bottom of my backpack!
Running my carry-on baggage again and again trough the scanner, searching for the not existing knife, not listening to me, not letting me go. The Polyelastomer do look strange (like blades) and completely black on a scanner . I finally was allowed to see, what she saw and could present her the "knife".
... but lets stop this here and focus to the nice Hermès watchbands.
If that’s what you considering being insulted you’ve lived a charmed life, my friend. Next time remember they deal with Karens/Kevins all day…Running my carry-on baggage again and again trough the scanner, searching for the not existing knife, not listening to me, not letting me go.

I use a bunch of other Hermès bands with my Ultra - single tour leather, Fauve Barenia with deployment, sport bands including the Hermès orange one.
All look great 👍🏼
For me, the only Hermès band that works is indeed the En Mer… all others (correct me if I’m wrong) have polished lugs… and that’s a no go for me with the Ultra case finish.

Yep my 42mm medium has "42 M" so it looks like they've definitely sent you the wrong size.
Alright, thanks for checking. I bursted out laughing when I saw it. They had six weeks to get the order right and they still messed it up
I hope they're not gonna be out of stuck for the M.I purchased a Hermes AW 10 46mm with Noir Kilim band. I like the band, but prefer the Noir leather band as think it is lighter. Prefer really light bands.
The best thing about the Hermes watch is the Hermes Circulaire face. Just love the face, but unfortunately probably not a good enough excuse to keep the watch. Lol
Also - use a AW Ultra 2 watch.

Grand H 46mm Size S now available for next day delivery in Australia from Apple.
Looks like their stock finally landed.

The deployment on my Grand H is broken. I took it off to clean it, and then when I tried to put it back on it wouldn’t clasp. I saw three out of 4 screws in the middle button were missing. Of course Apple had none in stock (all sizes are “Currently Unavailable”). The Hermes store opened up a repair ticket, but won’t know the lead time for repairs until at least tomorrow. It looks like it should be a simple fix if they have the right parts.

Got my Grand H today. Have to agree with everyone else so far. Heavy, premium feeling. The Apple link band was nice, but this is truly much better (I think the weight does it?)
Love the H links and the Hermes Paris etched on the clasp.
I made a comment back in 2017 asking for Hermes to make a metal band. It only took 7 years but the day finally arrived!
