Oh definitely! I have an orange kilim that came well-used and it’s a joy compared to the rest of the collection which is all new
Oh great! Ok I’ll wear it for a bit then. Thank you! I love my beton leather strap but I’d love something I don’t have to worry as much about
 
got the 46 mm hapi in noir recently…gorgeous and the leather is so supple.

Is that the Ultra and the Milanese loop? What size is your wrist?
Yes it is. I have a 7.5” wrist and the medium band centers the clasp perfectly for me. I had a large, which worked, but I didn’t like where the clasp sat so I exchanged it for the medium.
 
Not sure if this is allowed to feel free to delete, but I posted my AW Ultra 2 Hermes with Bleu Nuit up on the marketplace for anyone interested. Ended up exclusively wearing my S10 and felt the AWU2 deserved a new home

Happy new face colors day, to those who celebrate. Screenshots from the watch typically not working yet on the new install so here’s just the swatches from the Watch app:

Sun — Bleu Acier — Kraft — Rose Sakura — Vert Peppermint

Sun is virtually identical to Naples’ swatch and I believe Peppermint is the first face color for a band Apple doesn’t sell. It’s almost like they’re not actually trying to halt the sales of animal products 🤔

Update to watchOS 11.4 public release today and get these new colours on your watch faces, y’all! It’s out now!
 
Hapi double tour on 46mm Hermes? Another 44/45/46mm double tour exists right? I thought only a few colours and the gourmette one was on the larger watches direct from Hermes.
Wish I had gotten the gourmette 😢 yes 46 mm double tour. Think the only other color was now discontinued brown (Fauve?)

Purchased direct from Hermes since Apple doesn't sell leather any more.

Yea the gourmette double tour is another bold choice too. The chains ⛓️ on the middle and the black looks nice.

Try it on an Apple Watch Ultra if you have one.
 
They truly need to get rid of the person running watch faces.

There are two Sun options and no Jaune de Naples anymore!

This is like how Alaskan Blue got moved up to fall 2023 for Pacific Blue but kept the old name. Pure chaos!

I don’t get these color options. For the most part all they do is change the color of the second hand. What am I missing?
 
Like full bleed colors? Yeah it would be nice
Although it’s less mysterious and more just they did those big beautiful colors for the bicolor/della cavalleria era of bands.

And now the Beton full cosmetic as the only upgrade for Series 10.

I also daydream about a few more like the face that’s all orange numerals…

Hi All,
I’ve been a casual reader & fan of this thread for a long time but I finally created a profile because I need some help. To all the Grand H people out there, I finally got mine…! It is a medium for the 46mm Series 10 watch. It turned out to be the perfect size without any need for link removal.

That said, I didn’t even get to make that sizing determination before my problem started – I opened the butterfly clasp, of course, before trying to connect it to the watch. Obviously, connecting one side was easy, but connecting the other meant really uncomfortably almost bending the band to slide the blasted thing into the other side of the watch. I felt like I was bending/damaging it by just connecting it.

Removing the band a few days later was just as painful - the last millimeter or so was agony as I felt like if used any more force I’d break the bracelet entirely. I’m still not sure if I’ve loosened it/damaged it in the process.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is it just me doing something wrong? Does anyone have any advice? Do I have to follow the instructions to detach links and split the bracelet into two halves just to attach and then recombine the bracelet? That’s a royal pain if it has to be done every time…

Furthermore, I could see how this would be a non-issue with the Size Large as the longer the bracelet the easier to bend… but how on earth does anyone who bought a Size Small even get the thing attached to the watch at all? Without removing links and turning the bracelet into 2. I feel like for the Size Small that would have to be the only possible way.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. P.S. Sorry if this has already been addressed somewhere. I've read a lot of this thread but, admittedly, not all!
