Got to stop by the Hermes main boutique in Paris, it's a wonderful store.

They have in-stock of what is usually sold out in the US.

Noticed that Apple store finally has stock on most of the Hermes watches. That sure took a while. Tempted to get one, but a new one will be out in 7 months. :)

Probably a good time to buy your favorite bands for this generation and hold out for the next generation watch.

Yep, and the other boutiques in Paris all stock the same. The popups in stores like Galleries Lafeyette don't stock any AW.

Really nice people working at the boutiques, the service is great.

True. I love the multi color bands but I still have Series 3, but we all know those faces will be there for Series 5. I just see no reason to buy back-to-back series, unless the features drastically are better. Not to mention get full use of Applecare+

Yeah, I’ve been buying with every new series (not Hermès, S4 my first Hermes), but with the extra year warranty (not Apple Care+), I’m thinking of skipping S5.

I agree, and usually skip. Especially after the S4 which was more or less a re-design, I would imagine that the coming rev or 2 will be more evolution...adding features (and of course the steady march of faster processors) rather than any change in form factor.

I like the S4 redesign, anytime they can engineer more screen space that's a plus as I don't regret getting the iPhone XS Max.

Imagine if S5 extends battery life much more, and/or adding some sleep functions that's going to be hard not to want to upgrade.

I went from the Hermès series 3 to a gold SS series 4. I'll be upgrading next year just to go back to the Hermès...I really miss the watch faces.

Yeah after spending so much time with the faces, I feel it'll feel weird to not have them anymore. I only ever use Apple faces for fitness.

So funny, I'm the exact same way. I had a Series 3 Hermes and sold it when the Series 4 was launched. I thought I'd just get a regular stainless steel S4 and ordered it. Once it came in and couldn't stand not having the Hermes faces. I ended up taking it back immediately and ordering a Series 4 Hermes.

I should have done the same thing! I'm counting the days until the next update.

This also applies to Nike users. The default faces are so bad, that the Nike ones are better.

Good double tour choice. It always feels good to open an orange box!

Thank you! and YES!!! I love luxury box openings. I'm a big fan of CHANEL, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Van Cleef & Arpels, etc. and always love opening their boxes. It's something luxurious and special each time. :)

Hey guys! Became a proud owner of Fauve Barenia Leather Single Tour. Wanted to get some additional bands. Can anyone give me a proper contact of a taobao seller mentioned some pages ago? I tried dropping him an email but didn't get any response. Either he doesn't check it anymore or maybe because it was written in english, no idea.

Yes, the Hermes version of the watch is great. I got my wife the 40mm version for Christmas last year, and she loves it. For her birthday earlier this month, I got her the Bordeaux/Rose Extreme/Rose Azalee Single Tour band, and she's been wearing it constantly!
