Really enjoy Maritime.. would have been very nice to have Faubourg Party also on Ultra
When I’m switching watches it’s also always a watchface switch.. Lucky Horse is also a favorite of mine
Yes, Medium should be perfect.
You can remove one link from each side, but you don’t need to remove for your size. I use the second hole from the end in klim, and I removed one link from medium.
Faubourg Party x Jumping Single Tour Rouge Sellier/Bleu Saphir
Ended up sending the Ultra 3 back and keeping just the S11. The battery on the 46mm was quite good, more than enough for a 24+ run including a 1 hour workout with streaming music without my phone and cellular active, so I decided to the sportiness of the U3 was less my aesthetic and the battery was solid enough for me.
I received a second hand en mer Bleu Nuit today, the Bleu Hydra is the one I received from Hermes with my U3. They feel completely different, the hydra fabric is stiff and says made for Apple Watch on the lug, and the fabric doesn’t move about on the lug, the Bleu Nuit feels so pliable by comparison and doesn’t have “made for Apple Watch” on the lug, and the fabric can also easily slide back and forth on the lug, could it be a fake or just well used?

That is exactly how I wear that face with my S7!Faubourg Party x Jumping Single Tour Rouge Sellier/Bleu Saphir
Yep for my go to, I have the maritime on the Ultra and the Faubourg or Lucky horse on the S7!Really enjoy Maritime.. would have been very nice to have Faubourg Party also on Ultra

When I put the Apple Titanium Milanese on my Ultra I have the Radial face.
As an aside, do any of us use non Hermes faces ever? I don’t at all.
All 4 of my En Mer (2 from Apple, 2 from Hermès) have “made for Apple Watch” on the titanium lugs. Width of my Bleu Nuit from Hermès has slightly play, there’s some minor variance in width across all 4.
Majority of look-a-like En Mer from China I’ve seen don’t have “Hermès” branding on the buckle hardware, but I could be wrong
Thank you, thats what threw me off, no branding on the lugs. It’s a good fake if it is one.
Also the Chinese En Mers tend to have a slightly wider H at the top.
i haven't been in love with most of the releases from hermes for the single tour 44-46mm watches over the last 2-3 years... but picked up a couple new ones this year. really liking the black one with the clou du selle, it's a nice little detail. the blue torsade is SOOOO comfortable, and the black bridon has been my daily driver for the last few weeks.
i also love all the attelage ones, you can see how much wear the orange got. it's the only one that's really worn!
if i could keep only one... it would be the rallye with the red accents/interior.
i really want the faubourg in 46mm, i saw one in the local shop but it was on a watch, not sure they had it for sale. should have jumped on it at release!

That’s funny, we’re using the same watchfaces and strap on normal model with faubourg watchface!
On Hermès Apple Watch only Hermès faces.. sometimes I wear the gold titanium watch so I have to use a normal one but it‘s always like something’s missing.. normal faces are boring imo
100% yes! Didn’t think about that it could not be available on Ultra but as I checked I was disappointed too.. would love to see it on that screen!
Very nice collection and photos, thanks for sharing!
Which one‘s more comfortable in your opinion, Bridon or Torsade?
I admire and like to use the Hermes faces mostly ( esp since we pay big buck$$ for them! 😅),
but actually prefer this configuration of the Calif dial over Hermes Circulaire because the seconds hand always stays visibly active (which, important to me, makes it feel and look more like a traditional analog watch).
Also like how an extra complication is possible with the way month-day-date integrates neatly into the chapter ring👌)

(also- as pictured above- rockin"n the smaller 42mm case size Hermes AW Series 11 with Grand H MEDIUM-
so far, not having any issues with the band falling apart like I had with the 46mm Grand H SMALL version that I
(and eeyore7) posted about earlier🤞).
the smaller case size looks much more proportionate to my eye on my 159-160mm wrist and as an added plus,
the included orange Hermes sport band comes with the S/M length 😊. (vs M/L that comes with the 46mm case -
way too long for a someone with a slender wrist who wants the larger case)
Amused that this size used to be the "big"one in earlier iterations of AW 😅
went ahead and ordered a Kilim (noire) -hoping to enjoy for daily use- and save the Grand H for more dressy occasions (something that never worked for me with the Ultras, even with the excellent Grade 5 titanium band from Sandmarc;
I esp like the screwed links vs the more common-onerous pinned type, and in comparison to the Apple SS Link bracelet
(I remember when these were $500!), how fluid the links are, which allows it to wear extremely comfortable and lay flat when off the wrist- much easier to quickly pocket when things are about to get rough! 😅 )
(if anyone wants a lightly used 49mm Sandmarc Grade 5 titanium bracelet for substantial savings over new, let me know 😊 )

torsade is crazy comfy for me, they’re both really good but i think the holes maybe are slightly differently spaced and hit just right. might also be a little bit lighter and more stretch.
do you think they’ll restock? i almost paid an exorbitant price for one on eBay lol
I’m sure they will at some point not sure about Apple but I’m sure Hermes will.
Ja, likely sometime later this year once they catch up with 46mm watch orders.
Ordering Hermès AW S11 watch + Faubourg Party 46mm band today, Apple Store (US) is showing mid-Nov for deliveries.
