There are plenty of examples here, if you look trough the messages, but I will show you my favourite one - the Radial in black and the "Easter Egg" if I may say so - if you are new to Hermès. It is very hard to find.
Got a tip for us?

Wait what’s the easter eggThere are plenty of examples here, if you look trough the messages, but I will show you my favourite one - the Radial in black and the "Easter Egg" if I may say so - if you are new to Hermès. It is very hard to find.

For you it is no easter egg - it is for newbies, setting up a Hermès watch now.
Ok for sure I thought it was an Ultra thing. I do wonder what the color wheel options look like for the Maritime face though…For you it is no easter egg - it is for newbies, setting up a Hermès watch now.
There are only two, disappointingly! The main one and this secondary…

I’m now fully picturing a single designer tasked with designing every new watchOS face and having other responsibilities besides.
They really need to find a butt-kicker to put in charge of that who doesn’t find the job beneath them. I imagine it’s not a glamorous job for the management class.
😅 agreed. It is crazy there aren’t more options for colour. Maybe it’ll come later, possibly if they bring out the En Mer in other colours (as an aside, that’s the first and only Hermès band that’s ever fit me properly, designed for the smaller wristed folk, oddly).
If you call a watchface "Maritime", then you restrict yourself to certain colours. For the "en Mer" band the same applies. It is blue/black/white (sea spray).
It is about selling a brand and make the watch look like that brand and be recognizable.
I sometimes browse Clockology, even the "aftermarket" dials. Nice, but do I want to make my watch a Patek Philippe clone?
That’s all a bit over my head to be honest. Not too bothered by the lineage, just like pretty colours 😂 (although also have no problem with the current offerings for the face and band as blue is a favourite colour of mine)
It has been reported here in this thread, that you can remove the others too - you just need a tool.
... not found the message yet.
Yes. There are two tool free links and a number of links with standard bracelet pins. Removing two will make it medium sized, though the engraving will still say large. They’re not marked or split or whatnot so theres no easy way to know which way they come out unfortunately, so I’d recommend bringing it to a jeweler unless you’re confident and have done it before.
Also I know this works because one of the pins in mine was installed backwards and would constantly work itself out while I was wearing it so I flipped it correct and gently hammered it into place, and it’s been secure ever since. Have worn it every day this month so far.
If anyone does have an “extra” link I’d be interested. Even though I have a small wrist (first hole on the Kilim), the 46 Small is a bit tight.
I can't believe I finally found this band!
I've always wanted to buy the Blanc allover print double tour, but I couldn't find any, then it got discontinued.
Then finally someone just sold me brand new in the box to me.
She got it as a gift, but didn't like and never returned it.
For just 220$
I'm so happy right now
It looks so pretty

So I guess the Grand H in 46 is never gonna restock huh?
Knew I should’ve jumped on it last month.

Not many folks are gonna spend that much on a metal Hermes band, imo. Very niche market, I’d imagine. And I feel like by now most people who had to have it already got it (besides me 🤣), so no need to produce a ton just to have them sitting.
That said, I was hoping we’d see better availability for the holiday season. Guess not lol.
No problem here in Germany, either from Apple or from Hermès directly. Not before xmas though.
I had to wait 2 months. In Japan, I wanted an off-white color; I thought about black they seem to have orange most of the time as the last color. Checking the Apple store every day is a good way. They have stock; they don't have many items, only a few. So, move fast.
This is a rare band for now. Imagine if Hermes had gold stainless steel at that time it would look better with neutral colors like this one.
I was just able to get the Grand H 42mm in small at the Hermes store in Rome. I may still have to take a link out but at least that fits, unlike the medium (or worse, the large, which is all the Apple Store in Rome had).
I’ll post photos later.

Oh, I check Apple and Hermes daily. Multiple times, actually. It's kind of an addiction at this point. 😆
