Yep I feel my HU3 is definitely shinier than my old U2

Maybe I'm losing it, but it looks like they finally made the Hermes faces fit the larger face. I swear it didn't fit this well on my last Hermes watch but it looks much better now. Am I wrong here?
Me too!! Just got this today!!! Looking for the orange one. I like them better than the scuba band way more comfortable!!
I love the Orange, just worried how long it will stay bright. With my Ultra 1 I got the Orange alpine loop and every few days I needed to clean it as it picked up so much dirt. I think the Gris will handle it better.
How do you find the titanium hardware on the shiny watch?
I actually love it. And I am not one of those people that get bothered by the mismatched as I am wearing this on my Hermes series 11. I am on the search/hunt for the orange one. Since I have the Faubourg I am on the fence about getting the blue en mer. I love the titanium hardware a lot. Think it looks very i unusual and is a nice departure from the standard hardware. The color of the en mer Gris looks more olive green to me than like Gris Meyer or Gris on the Kilim. The color is more green than grey to me.

Has anyone ever said to themselves, “This is the last Hermes I’ll get”.
This band is GORGEOUS. A must have for Hermes AW band collectors. Congrats! ❤️
You've outdone yourself. I love your collection of red bands. Especially th ones with patterns. I'm more of a pink person. Still, I love ever single one of them. But I will not go down the rabbit hole. Hahaha. 😍😍😍
I could not resist. I wanted that band, and it was available at Hermès - including the watch. So 11 is here.
As usual, the band is too long for my wrist.
FYI: It is very easy to add an additional hole in the band with a small awl. You just "move" the tissue away - leaving the additional hole.
...that strange color of the screen is white in fact.

Apparently the “exit watch” is not applicable for us 🤣
Absolutely stunning! It’s sold out now on the Hermès AU online store.
I did this to mine with my own hole punch and I see no fraying or disruption!
I want that band too, and I hesitated and every time I hesitate I can’t get the band because it’s sold out on the site also as well as as with the en mer in the orange color which I’m trying to find. I like the and mirror bands way better than the scuba bands. They’re just more comfortable, so I’m probably gonna return my scuba bands and keep searching for the en mer bands.
I'm glad you mentioned the Scuba bands as I was thinking they may be a daily driver more due to being non fabric, but I have heard they are not as comfortable as other bands. I think the Kilim bands are probably the best non fabric bands for the Ultra, or the Apple Ocean bands if I need to get them wet.
I agree that Kilim is more comfortable. And while I like the scuba bands, I’m not quite sure I’m going to keep them yet. I have another week to decide, but I really really love the en mer band. That’s very comfortable. It’s all sold out on Apple here in the US and it is only available in the dark blue on Hermes and I’m debating whether to buy it from them. That’s where I got the Gris one. I really didn’t think I was gonna like this band that much because in my experience if you don’t order it launch stay or write thereafter within a few few days then it’s very difficult to locate it which is the problem. I’m having now.
Yep I was 'umming and arring' about the Gris En Mer, saw it on Apple UK in the morning. Left it until the evening and they were still available so I thought it is fate! It is comfortable, I am just paranoid about trashing the Orange as it is so bright. I think the Gris will be my DD and Orange for when I know I won't be doing anything that can ruin it. Lol like housework. Mrs Gates will love that!
Nah, might skip a series, two or three, but collecting bands will always be a "hard habit to break" — 'Chicago 17' 🤭
No, it is just like Nikhil72 writes. You just move the threads "out of the way", because there is not enough force to cut anything with that awl. Just do it slowly and wiggle the awl a bit while pressing.
I think, manufacturing did the other holes the same way.
Don't do this with the Twill Jump or Toile bands though! They are punched with heat and the threacs must be cut/melted to retain stability.

Final band for the year has arrived today. 46mm Clou de Selle noir. Much more understated than the original Clou de Selle due to lack of contrasting stitching and lack of center stitching stripe.
Still liking it it though!
Still liking it it though!
We will watch your future posts "this year"...
Btw: the lack of contrast adds quite some class to the band.
Thanks both for the tip! I don’t have an awl but I have a hole punch. So I just use the tip to wiggle through the fabric without actually punching through the band?
