It's funny because Hermes Single Tour is backordered on Apple but readily available on Hermes.com. I just think the most expensive items generally become more readily available because after the first couple of weeks with early adopters the vast majority of people want the cheapest possible item.

Yep totally agree. I don't think they have made many editions at all, as we can see by this thread. I guess for the Hermès, most Apple people know nothing about them other then on Apple.com let alone Hermès.com

So true. And the Hermes.com return policy sucks haha.

Orders for ceramic have slipped to November now although still at 2 to 3 weeks so productivity isn't increasing. I ordered mine in the 27th September with a delivery date for the 27th October. That hasn't moved up in 10 days.
[doublepost=1475919429][/doublepost]I was tempted by the Hermes but it's just an SS 2 model with extra faces and a very nice strap which for me doesn't justify doubling the cost of a basic SS2

They really aren't moving the ceramics up at all are they? This is a very slow go. I know it sucks now, but at least we know we have a pretty exclusive Watch. I like knowing I don't have the same AW that most people do. To me it's really cool to have something different. Like you said, the Hermès is an SS with a few different Watch faces and a really nice leather strap. To anyone looking at it from a distance, it looks just like any other SS. At least the edition stands out, and there is nothing else in the AW lineup like it.

The orders page does seem to be contradictory as delivery is now stated as 2 to 3 weeks but delivery to a retail store says 1st November which is outside the 2-3 week window so its very confusing
 
lol come on guys. There is nothing wrong wearing a white watch with a black strap. How different can that be to wearing a white shirt with a black suit.

Not at all the same


The white shirt UNDER the blank coat and still largely COVERED
 
Damn, John Lewis have taken stock of 42mm and I am still stuck on processing with my online order. I don't want to cancel my online order just yet but I just know that if I reserve one with John Lewis and pick up tomorrow, my Apple order will turn to processing and I will be charged twice.


Update- rang John Lewis and stock has gone already. I should have been faster on the trigger :-(

Man that is rough. The stock seems to be flying out the door when they get it. I am sure they only had a few.

Ughhhh I have chest pain! I can't wait for you to get your watch...

Yeah, I shouldn't have waited. At 7am they had stock and by the time I was in the office at 8.30, stocks had gone. I called customer services because the online store only shows items in the warehouse. Customer Services did a in-store scan for me but nothing. They told me that they are reserved within the hour as soon as they come in

Wow! I don't think this is going to get much easier over the next few months. I think they are going to keep being very hard to find, and Apple will keep the stocks down. I just don't think they are making many.

Well I have 17 days to wait and as orders are currently 2 to 3 weeks and have been for a few days, I would hope its delivered in the next few days...or at least go to PFD :)
 
I gave up and cancelled my order and got the link bracelet for my Series 2 SBSS... it was a tough decision and one I may revisit over time but for now, I'm staying with the SBSS.
 
Well i have exactly 2 weeks to go so i am hoping that if Apple deliver before the scheduled date ,which is something they do quite often, then i may see a status change next week

Hopefully you get it a little early. They really must be limiting this Watch a lot. It has been slow moving for you guys for sure.
