If you’re talking about the white plastic box that came with my Series 2 SS w/link bracelet, that’s a shame. Really nice box, use it to keep my Eneloop batteries in.

Hi guys, I have a question (hopefully someone here will be able to answer me):

I want to get the 40mm Hermès, but will it come with all Hermès faces? Including those that are 44mm only? Or there is a face lock for 40mm and 44mm ones?

All S4 Hermès should have all the Hermès faces, regardless of casing size or strap.

I don’t like that band... Wish they did a tan and blue combo. I think that would look much better, but those were great pics! Thanks for posting!

Thank you! So excited - I hated myself as I scheduled each meeting for today. The afternoon can’t come soon enough!

I suggest everyone to buy the blue horizon silicone strap. It suits so well with the new face.

That looks darker - like midnight blue. Which one matches the watch face?

I love the new Hermes Series 4. I forgot how much I loved the Fauve Barenia color. I’m coming from the Ebene Deployment Buckle and wow the Fauve is beautiful.

I opted for the traditional buckle and it’s amazing how much more comfortable the band is compared to the Deployment Buckle.

I’m glad I did that! Not a big fan of the new watch faces because it makes it obvious that the entire front isn’t screen.

I’d really love to see pictures of the Fauve Grained Barenia. Not sure I can handle the holes in the band though...

FYI ordered a 44mm Feu Single Tour directly from Hermes yesterday and it will be delivered on the 25th. Choose the free shipping option. Looks like if you can order it from them it is in stock and will ship fast.

Ooh very happy with my first Hermes! Love the faces.

S4 looks awesome on my existing link bracelet.

Not tried the deployment clasp yet, I was in a fervour setting up the Watch itself and just bunged it on the bracelet.

I noticed the restore from backup was very fast indeed, is that due to Bluetooth 5.0? Paired with iPhone X.

I have the series 2 Hermès single tour that I just sold for 850. It held its value extremely well. I’m now debating if I should return my Gold ss and grab another Hermès.

So after I’ve got back home and opened my watch,
I’ve got some small black dots on the edge of my band and loop for tucking in my band, is this normal and part of the leather or should I be concerned

I wouldn’t be too worried, because the leather is going to patina over time anyway. What band is it? Any pics?

I really like the totally lacking in information colour Hermes faces - I think it’s because you can tell its a new Apple Watch with the big screen.

Yes the white box is missing - but to be fair that was such a waste of packaging. Apple have streamlined it after ONLY 4 years lol

I sold my S3 earlier and couldn’t find the white box. Ended up bubble wrapping the watch and emailing the buyer to apologise. No idea where it is. I looked everywhere. I assume they want the watch and not the white box...

Where did you sell? eBay? I feel like I’m having trouble selling mine. Probably because I want to keep my leather band and am only selling it with the orange sport band.

Sold it with my Link Bracelet instead but even then I sold it for £400 with postage. And it was the deployment model last year which cost £1499 - so I lost £1,100 on it.

It is clear the Apple Watch doesn’t hold value unlike the phones. I sold my X for £640 and it was £999 last year so that’s a good return.

I think the main problem is the Hermès watches don’t hold their value at all. Apple gives you $250 trade in for the stainless steel model regardless of the version. I think that’s a pretty fair price.
[doublepost=1537558548][/doublepost]Again probably the wrong place, but if anyone wants my series 3 Hermès for a good price let me know :) also have a colvert calf band

I’m not a fan of the Indigo Swift leather strap. I thought I would be, but I’m not.

Common sense would perhaps suggest sending the entire watch back and getting a regular SS, for a fraction of the price. But I like the Hermès faces and the sports strap (though I already have one). And I’d have to wait a month. And it’s all set up now.

I could see if Apple will swap it for the clown strap.

Or I could sell it. I’m open to offers. 44mm.

Apple shipping dates with the Hermès are way off. At least if going by last year. It says mid October but it will probably get to you in a week

This thread needs a lot more pics.

Like, a TON more.

My jealousy is raging like a caged animal.
I want to see the double Swift with the orange leather strip on a guy. Creative field I can pull it off. Else it’s the clown

Unless @Boardiesboi tells me not to, I’m going to call Apple and swap my Indigo Swift for the clown strap.

Which strap do you think you’ll wear more on a daily basis?

The indigo is very classy and will match different outfits better. It’s a bit understated but more suited to a professional or office environment.
I had the indigo swift last year and I wore it to work, meetings, weddings and lazy weekend out.

You were worried about staining the white part of the clown strap before?
