The band itself should be exactly the same width for the 41 and 42mm versions. It’s only the lugs that connect the band to the watch that is different between the two versions. The 41mm lugs will not perfectly match the shape of the 42mm watch (though I doubt anyone would notice on your wrist). The 42mm version should match the shape of the new watch perfectly. But the width of the band will be the same in either case.
Thanks that was what I was guessing, just wanted a little reassurance. I had tried this band on with the series 9 in a Hermes store before the 10s came out and it did actually fit perfect on my wrist I am hoping that it still will despite now being the 42. I know a SS Kate Spade band I had on my S7 now just does not fit right on my S10 being the 42mm. It is amazing how 1 mm can make a difference. I think I am going to get the band, worse case I can always wear it with my SS Series 9.

Where do people get the Ultra polished - I don't trust myself to do it so is it something a jeweller can/would do?
A local jeweler can do it but only if they specialize in polishing or repairing luxury watches like Rolex watches, coach and mechanical watches of other brands. They will also need to know how to tape off or protect the sapphire crystal screen, and ports as the ultra has a lot of speakers and pressure altimeter/microphone holes. Improper handling of the Apple Watch during polishing will cause harm to the waterproofing especially with the ISO-grade water and dust resistance of the ultra.

Finally found an  store to try on Hermes bands on the polished titanium. I tried on the orange kilim and the grand H, the grand H requires a link tool to adjust like a traditional link band vs the Apple link bracelet so excuse it being too big for me. Saw the en mer ultra bands but the Specialist Brooke only let me pick two bands to try out so I tried orange kilim and the grand H. Of course it is heavier than the Apple link bracelet… I can feel it heavier than my SS!

Am I the only one thinking that it‘s sad that we haven‘t seen any new Hermès watch faces with iOS 11? Not even the second hand movement using the new 1 Hz display refresh rate in the original Hermès watch face… Furthermore they discontinued the Hermès noir face which is still on my AW5 (iOS 10).

Anyone thinking there will be new Hermès watch faces in the near future?
 
I don’t understand how you can do business with a brand or a store that only allows you to pick two bands to try on. I guess Specialist Brooke was to busy on social media to tend to her sales work. Very sad.

This was the Apple Park visitor center and it is still a lot of people in there the day after Black Friday. Surprised people wanted to keep buying Mac and iPads just for the gift cards. They had the Hermes bands locked in the drawer including the watches, y’all have to ask for them to grab them from the drawer and none are on display which explains why they limit y’all to try them on.

I only had a bit of time to spare in there as I stopped by before my flight back home after a huge trip to the bay for thanksgiving.
 
It’s called loss prevention.
This above 👆🏻 y’all. Remember back in the day the Apple Watch Edition in ceramic, titanium and gold were out? They also had to lock the watches down in drawers and you had to ask them to unlock them to try it on. Even with the gold Edition in the early days of Apple Watch ⌚️, they also had to do it in the Boardroom or in a smaller room in the Apple Store due to the extremely high price tag.
 
I am happy to report I am now a Proud owner of a Hermes Apple Watch but I bit sad that Single Tour Attelage Etoupe 41mm band is way too big. Oddly I kept reading that the Orange additional band only came in the one size and it was big but actually it fits perfect with even one additional hole if I needed it smaller. Rather than pack it up and send it all back I decided to keep and hope I can get additional holes put in the bad t allow it to fit. Any suggestions?? I take it Hermes will not do that and I doubt Apple will. I am thinking a shoe repair store that deals with leather good could possibly add the extra holes but I want to make sure they are even to the existing holes an the same size of hole.

I believe Hermès would punch an extra hole for you.

Hermes will definitely do it. I’ve also done it myself with a tool you can buy off amazon.

Also to comment on Abby’s Electronics on eBay. On Thursday night late I made an offer on one of his Kilim bands. He got back to me within an hour excepting my offer and it arrived today already. I am thrilled with it and wanted this band when I looked in the Hermes store before the 10’s were out.

I was very disappointed too. I was certain that Hermès would collaborate with Apple to create a special face for the 10th series. Instead, we get to be envious of the new Maritime face that is only available on the Hermès Ultra. Guess we’ll see if we get anything next September…
 
Does the Ultra 2 Hermès has all the Hermès watch faces that are included in the Series 10 Hermès?
 
No. You will have to live without the "Lucky Horse" and the "Circuit". But you get the "Maritime" as eclusive Hermès Ultra 2 addition.
Thank you! Do you might sharing a few pictures of the AWU2H with Hermès watch faces please?
