Ok NOW I’m going complete. Didn’t even need black or black-era Hermes watch, just my silver s4 hermes, didn’t even need a phone call or a second agent:

LOL, now I'm kind of tempted to buy an empty hermès box from some fraudster on ebay who is trying to trick people who don't read the descriptions carefully --- oh hey, like this guy --- and see if I can show apple the box somehow to convince them to sell me one.

I think it’s worth a try. You just need little fibs ready if they try to question that aspect of it. Some people just try the “call and get a different agent” method. I don’t feel too guilty in all of this because you’re still paying retail plus shipping.

Hmmm... I've got the box for a Hermes that came with a band I purchased from someone. Can I call and get a replacement part, even though the watch itself is not registered in my name?

I can confirm you only need a serial, I just ordered a Hermes Orange Sport Band through a support chat (took 2 agents, first just told me to contact Hermes direct). I don't own a Hermes model but managed to find a serial number online...........I'll leave it up to your imagination to guess where this might be found. UK based as well for any of our British friends this might help out. Thanks very much for this tip, saved me having to use chargerstore or pay the inflated prices on eBay.

If someone wants a 44mm olive flak sport band really bad and can wear an M/L...this one isn’t *that* dirty for the price 😅

midnight turquoise/Aurora green 40mm $33 obo (kinda weird pics though)

Call it in, state your S/N, say you lost yours & need a replacement, let them know you’re willing & ready to pay for the part. And, as always, be friendly throughout the call ;)
They can't give you a S/M strap for a 44mm band though. You'll need Chargerstore (or an even more expensive eBay seller) to get that.
 
Killer deal at Best Buy 🙄

Last month I did a pricematch by chat in Bestbuy, Walmart has the black sport @ 8.27 dls

and it works! 😁 Total was like $8.99 with tax (SoCal) for a new sealed black 44 mm band in Bestbuy.

I know that Walmart is not selling this watch band directly, it's another seller (iTek) and probably a fake band (reading the customer comments), so I was hesitating to try the pricematch, but hey, it doesn't hurt to try, and I was lucky.
