42 mm Hapi in Craie just popped up on the Aus Site

Nice spot. The marketing image also appears to show Sun Kilim in both 46mm (top left) and 42mm (bottom right) size, so maybe 42mm will pop up as an Hermès exclusive like 46mm Bleu Acier? Hope so 🤞

I wonder if there's a mistake somewhere because the US and French websites have Bleu Acier in just 46mm whereas the Apple website has it specifically for 42mm only. Otherwise it would be weird if Hermes sold 46 and Apple sold 42 separately, wouldn't it?
Hermes has had unique styles in the past not offered by Apple so this is not completely abnormal. I ordered one so let’s see what arrives! (Free shipping :D so it might take a minute)
Thank you. Just been having a really difficult time health wise with this inflammatory disease I have. Finally feeling a little better and realized it’s time for new Kilim colors!! The funny thing is I went to put on my orange one on Monday as I had to go to the doctor and I’m like I really need a gray one. Why haven’t they come out with a gray one and then boom yesterday I look and there’s a gray one as a new release so I was so excited.!!!

What does everyone think of the new Kilim colors???
Welcome back Dstopsie! I am on board with Kilim being their best band! I think all the new colors are great additions! I don’t think any Kilim band yet has been a let down.

Glad you are feeling better. I come to this forum from time to time, and I missed your comments quite a bit!

I love the yellow and the bleu acier. I have a 42mm watch so can only get bleu acier but I don't know if i love love it for £300. Also, I find it weird you can't get it at Hermes. I have some credit at Harrods in London and would have used that at the Hermes store there but not if Hermes isn't selling it! I do think it's one of those colours that if I don't buy, I will be annoyed with myself.
Ahhhh thank you for the kind words!!! !! I agree if you don’t get it now you may not be able to. I missed out on the spring bands last year for this reason. I will post pics when I get the bands. They are coming on Friday. I like the blue and the vibrant yellow. And of course the Gris Meyer is one of my favorite colors. Let us know what you decide to do!!

So it looks like there may be a slow roll out of bands in different markets and sizes…

Is that a swift cuivre on the watch or just a dark lighting on the gold?
 
Got the first two of my Spring/Summer ‘25 collection. These two weren’t available on Hermes US site so I ordered from Apple. Live near their shipping center so they arrived next day.

Both are 46mm. Gris Kilim and Nior/Écru Toile H.

Date code on the Kilim is W.

Thanks to those that recommended Abby's Electronics, and to those that helped me decide on a Gold/Ecru Toile band.

Abby's was great to work with. They have nice prices and fast shipping. 👍

I just got the band and initial impressions is that it has a nice color to it. It's lightweight. Right now its pretty stiff, but not uncomfortable at all. I think it will work out over time, and worn pretty often since it can deal with a little water/sweat occasionally.

Here are a couple obligatory pics. I did one with the face that everyone seems to use with this band, and one other that I think looks nice.

Hermès US updated their website with the Bleu Glacier 46 mm leather single tour, among some others.
 
Will be interested to see how Bleu Glacier compares to Bleu Lin. I always kind of regretted not getting Bleu Lin. I don’t think I would have many occasions to wear it. But it was such a nice shade. The model shots for Glacier make it look basically the same, but the renders make it look lighter.
 
Newbie question: what do you think the chances of an Ébène single tour being released without the deployment buckle? Probably an impossible question to answer, but maybe there are previous trends with colours that get re-released often? I love the colour, but can't justify splurging on the deployment buckle.

Anyone have the new light blue kilim yet? I’d love to see an irl picture…
Yes, here it is next to a Bleu Lin single tour taken under 5,600k lighting.

It’s much more pastel than bleu lin. Very good for spring
