Hermès Edition Owners Thread

I just received my Grand H band 46mm. Really impressed with the quality. However I have questions.

How tight should it be? It is about 3/4 inch below my wrist bone. Up at the top by the lugs I can just about get a finger in. I can’t get a finger in under the clasp bm

I tried to remove a link and pressed the little indent under the link but nothing happens. Am I missing something ?

Easy to get on and off which is important for my hand coordination. Would the Apple link bracelet have been easier or more difficult to manage?

Finally I have a stainless steel band I can manage. Thanks to everyone.

Regarding the size: Just try, what you like the best. As the watch and the band are quite heavy, it should be less loose than al leather band - just my own experience. Otherwise the whole ensemble wobbles like crazy. 😁

For the link removal: It is tight - but it works. You can remove all links btw, if the "allowed" ones do not suffice. You just need a small watchmaker tool to pinch into the holes.

Thanks. I removed one link to start. How does this compare to the Apple link bracelet?

Anyone using the Grand H as their daily driver?

Steel-Watchbands of luxury watches live with their owners. They are cleaned sometimes. They show wear and tear. They show, that they are being used for years. Kind of an award. They are no iPhones hidden in cases.

Clean it, use it. Let it live with you.

BTW: Are we "polishing" the leather ones? They show wear and tear as well.

I understand this. I’m asking for the best solutions/balms/clothes whatever to clean them with. I know how to clean leather. I haven’t had a metal watch band this nice (I don’t count the Apple Milanese loops because they aren’t that nice imho) but except for a Rolex I got for my birthday in college that I’ve subsequently lost.

I have a new Grand H 46mm SS band. I took out one link. Band is still slightly loose. When I took out a second link, I could barely close the clasp and the watch felt tight. It seems I am between links. What can I do?

Have been enjoying the OG Black/gray trial look recently. Pairing with a greyscale Maritime face, to make it a more subtle pairing. Curious if they’ll bring out a Black U3 Hermy this year… this face combo with the current all black trail loop and black casing would be a delight!

What watch face is that? I don’t see it in my faces. Hermes.

Maritime, it’s the Ultra Hermy face.
