Circuit and Lucky Horse are more “whimsical” and trendy, not very “Ultra.” Idk. This is the brand that’s still averse to pinks and purples on the larger Watch case, what more can you expect.
Thanks, I am just now checking back into the forums, It's my birthday weekend but the Hermes stores are all on the Las Vegas strip and this is also the F1 weekend so will not get a chance to go to one of the store till later next week. But pretty positive this will be the exact combination I will get. Will probably get some of the other bands in the future. I was waiting for Apple to release the Titanium Link Gold for my new Gold 10 and just found it is available but delivery not till late December. I will most likely spring for that before an additional Hermes band.
Hermès came through! They exchanged my broken Grand H today even though I bought it from Apple. No need to wait for my old one to be shipped to France to get 3 screws replaced. 
I’ve had the Grand H for 3 weeks now and I haven’t touched my leather bands since, which is so sad 😂. Between the Kilim for working out and the Grand H otherwise, I do really feel set.
Does anyone else’s Grand H often fall towards the wrist? I’m wondering if i need to remove one “non-removable” link with tools to make fir just right.
They are basically designed for people with tiny wrists. I can fit into a size 3/size 4 braided solo, and majority of my Hermes collection is double tours. Majority of my double tours are sitting on the third largest hole. The fabric based double tours have a slightly different fits compared to the leather double tours since the leather ones basically have extra material in the middle of the band in order to provide it with rigidity meanwhile the fabric based ones don't so they behave a little differently on the wrist, which I'm not a fan of having owned the double tour Bridon.
The Grand H fits a bit tight. I perfectly fit into the 46mm small though for the leather straps I have often been on the 3rd hole for the 42mm watch and for the Kilim I’m on the second hole on the 46mm.
Awesome Band!
I also ordered this leather strap. I found it in the online shop Hermès France. Fortunately, because it is no longer available in Switzerland, and on eBay the sellers want to sell it way too expensive. I have an address for parcels in Germany (EU), otherwise I would not have been able to order it because Switzerland is not in the EU.
I see. I’m on the 2nd hole for 45mm kilim too. Got the L size 46mm Grand H as it’s the only one available. With the two removable links removed, it’s a loose fit for me :/
Recently got in this kaki kilim and noticed the hook on the strap looks different than my other kilims where it doesn’t have an extra hook feature to lock it into the clasp. Curious if that is normal on the older bands or if I should send it back to the seller. I attached pictures showing the my black kilim and kaki kilim. Used to seeing kilim with more a hook shape (right picture is my black kilim with that shape) than what my kaki kilim has (left picture).

The deployment buckle on the Kaki is either unfinished (as it looks like the side has machining marks and hasn’t been polished) or more likely it’s a knockoff as those tend to be less finished and not have details like the hooked end on your Noir Kilim. Did you get it directly through Hermès/Apple or was this from a third party marketplace?
The band itself may be genuine (as it kinda looks it with the texture and molding seam) but it could’ve had a fake buckle swapped on for whatever reason.
Got it off a seller on eBay. Came with the box and all that too. If you need more pics let me know. The band itself like you said matches up with my black one.
Check the Hermès logo on the buckle and compare it to the one on the Noir Band; the knockoffs tend to have the logo smaller/squished. In addition to the buckle pin not having the hook they also don’t have the extruded part on the other end that stops the pin from flipping all the way backwards. Can see it on your Noir version but don’t think it’s there on your Kaki.
So likely, fake buckle. Perhaps removed to go onto another band, and the fakes are only a couple bucks at this point so replaced with the hope that nobody would notice.
Also I checked the other end of the pin like you mentioned. Noir band has that extruded part, kaki doesn’t have that extruded part.
