Y’all are all into the hype of this new, first ever link bracelet from Hermès. Anyone have a stainless steel from earlier series’s and put this band on their Apple Watch? Also on gold stainless steel.
Yes, I have the original Apple Watch link bracelet. Thinking of selling it as its old news now with the grand h!

Great, I meant if anyone can try the Grand H Satine SS link bracelet on a non-Hermes gold stainless steel or regular stainless steel AW S6-9, I am curious to see how it looks. But you are right it outruns the look of Apple's backordered link bracelet.

Does anyone know if the Grand H small in 42mm has ever actually been available to purchase from Apple? I can get the band in Medium or Large from Hermes in 42mm, but I need small (and frankly small might even be too large, I wanted to see in person but the Hermes store here didn’t have any a few weeks ago and the Apple Store person just gave me a blank stare when I asked).

I’m half-tempted to get the Series 10 with the orange Kilim Single Tour and then get the Grand H later, but I’d rather just get the Grand H and see if it can be small enough to work.

It was again for a couple days near the beginning of October IIRC with a December delivery date, and Hermès had it on their shop around then as well. All sizes have had their initial stock and at least one refresh afaik, so there’s a chance they’ll do more given how popular it’s seemingly been.

That‘s what I did. Ordered my Hermès Series 10 on release day with my favourite leather band, since the Grand H Satiné wasn‘t available. Got the Grand H Satiné band yesterday.

Did you try Hermes.com? They have better availability on all bands and everything they show is usually shipping the next day.

For example, the Grand H 42mm in small is available here in Germany:

Grand H came in today. My favorite band of all time. I had to remove a link from the large and man it was a complete pain removing it. Any tips to make it an easier process? I really struggled getting the link out.

But the band is amazing. Makes the Apple Watch feel ultra premium.

What is that watch face? I can't fine any colors for the face other than black or white. The other colors just seem to change the second hand color (or the dial for Orange Dial). EDIT: never mind, I found them.
@KayGee715 I can’t figure out how to change the background to orange. Can you help? :confused:

Hi, I have been a lurker in here because I plan to treat myself for my big birthday the end of this month and get my first Hermes watch. I have had numerous Apple watches currently have the AW9 SS in slate and the AW10 Gold Titanium. I had planned to get the link bracelet for that but thinking that may never appear from Apple. I have an extremely small wrist size 0 or 1 depending on if it is the 41 or 42 for the single loop bands. I am debating on which band to get I have narrowed it down to Rouge Grenat/Vermillon Twill Jump Arrelage Single Tour if I purchase from Apple Store at Forum Shops in Las Vegas or go to the Hermes store at Wynn Resort and get the 42mm with the Single Tour Etoupe calfskin leather. I am really leaning on the 2nd one. I just think it would look nicer and feel better. I love the new titanum AW10 and how light it is so don't want anything bulky. I originally thought I wanted the Single Tour Kilim but leaning now toward the other two. What would any of you choose?

You can’t go wrong with Hermès leather. Every time I wear mine, it just feels so nice and I wish I had jumped on the Hermès train sooner. All those bands I missed out on! (Well, my wallet probably would have something to say about that.)

The Kilim is a nice “everyday” band for me, I wear it for occasions when I worry about keeping the leather clean (cooking, for example).

Thanks, I like the look of the Kilim but since I have 2 other AWs that I will wear more for every day use my Hermes will be for dress up. I am thinking that leather is definitely the way to go hopefully it fits ok with my small wrist.

I also have a small wrist and wear a size 3 in solo loop bands, and I do also wear a 40/41 Apple Watch in stainless steel gold, S6. All solo loops I tried on fit the same way between the series 10 42mm and all other series 41mm, in length. Btw for reference a size 3 solo loop is for a wrist of 5.4-5 inches circumference; and that an Apple Watch Ultra would look like a lot bigger for me. Also to the point that the Ultra bands cannot fit your wrists and are too big for you, I do have to pull the small sized ultra bands all the way up to fit my wrists. According to Hermes’ website where they have the listing for the band you are looking for, that would be the bare minimum for me to fit in it. The etoupe calfskin leather ones go a bit larger so it may have a bit more room if you wear it at the smallest hole, as these are wider than the Atellage.

As the nearest Hermes store or Apple Store selling Hermes Apple Watch is 50+ minutes away I never got to go to one and try it on, so I am just giving a general overview of how these bands would fit. Also, @Stella_Fudge said that you can also ask the Hermes store employees to get an extra hole punched out on the bands so they would fit tighter if there is too much space in it.

I did, yes. Not available in the US, but I’ll be in Korea and Europe next month, so I have some other regions I can try if I can’t get it here faster.
