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?
No. Do NOT use a hole punch, as you do not need to PUNCH a hole. Just use something with a tip and move the tissue aside to create a hole.

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.
I prefer the Scuba to the Kilim bands. While both bands are nice, I think the holes on the Scuba bands make them more breathable with local weather. (85+ and humid all week) Also, the clasp is much more comfortable than the deployment buckle for me. I’ve never liked the feel of cold stainless pressing against my wrist.

Those are good points. Still on the fence on them. Got all the colors of the scuba.

Lol stop making me indecisive! I'm keeping my En Mer :)
 
I wonder why these two bands that are the same color have two diffident skew numbers on the Hermes site?

Thoughts??

Recall Blue Nuit En Mer was released in fall 2024, more likely it's just an updated reference number for re-release of the identical band for 2025.

It's not unusual for Hermès to re-list or re-release products and straps, and the change in the numerical code could mark the progression.

My Bleu Nuit En Mer is: H0003051 BN

I know. It’s sold out on apple and Hermes so I have to keep on trying…….
 
Totally! I was hoping for an orange En Mer ever since I bought the Bleu Nuit to be honest.

The only downside is that I have noticed that it is slightly dirty after 6 days use. Didn't wear it on workouts or anything other than 'normal' daytime activities (lol I work in an office). It definitely isn't as shiny as yours. Going to clean it now to see how it pans out.

Let me know how you cleaned it and how it worked :)

I have been wearing the Bley Hydra quite a lot during summer, also no working out with it, so far it looks quite new-ish. Maybe orange is a little more sensitive
 
Came out really well. Bowl (soup size) filled with lukewarm water. Sprayed Dawn on strap, light rubbing then left the strap in the bowl for 30 mins. Rinsed off and dried.

That's how I clean my OG Ultra Alpine straps, with a drop or two of Dawn free-n-clear into a container with lukewarm warm and gentle scrub with soft brush as needed. The look mint-n-clean after all these years.
