@athousandbands I don't have other photos, but I can say that on ebay it is very difficult to find these fakes on other sales platforms instead it is much easier

@Clarke_G I saw that you put the photos is original
Does the “Hermes Paris made in France” lettering also look a little wrong to your eyes too? More crunchy for lack of a better term, either from the lettering itself or the underside not being supple, or both?

all molds are made by hand with machinery, but by hand. in some straps the molds are more trodden and in others less. then the photo is crooked and the strap used, but it says what must be written there without any marks.

the serial number is C = 2018 YES NNN DB.
SI and DB always go as a couple. 40 mm written in 2018 were printed. for a couple of years, however, they have not been written anymore

I've asked for more specific photos, the seller sent everything as I asked, everything looks good. Maybe it was a Demo model or has some minor defect, hence the price drop. I think I'm gonna take it to the local Hermes Store and ask for advice, before deciding if I keep it or return it. And I'll post more pictures in here as well as soon as I have it in my hands.

in the Hermes stores there is also the possibility of having them fixed if not in good condition

Oh! Good to know! Thanks! It should be here next week. I'll ask for your help again, somehow I trust this thread more than anyone else.
 
What colors of bands do you recommend to make starlight watch look more golden? 🤔
Starlight braided solo loop for the W. 😜

Starlight solo for semi formal lunch. After Starling Sport Band and Starlight Solo Loop, I might be craving the starlight braided...I only have doubts about dirt and stains over time, so I'll follow your reviews for the next few months 🫵🏻

I don't think you have to worry about that. I recently bought a abused and horribly dirty Braided Solo Pride. With the normal tools it came out like new again, even the light colors like white. I don't think Starlight is any different. A little care now and then with soap, sponge and maybe a soft brush and it should always stay pretty shiny.
 
Does anyone have the northern blue and cornflower sport bands and could take a photo side by side? I own northern blue and got cornflower today and they look identical to me. Trying to figure out whether they sent me the wrong band.

I have Cornflower and it doesn't look anything like that (I'm aware this is taken outdoors). I don't have Northern Blue though.

Speaking from experience with the Northern solo loop, it is much frostier and more dull than Cornflower and changes color pretty drastically (think Cactus) depending on conditions. Bring it into lower/indoor light and you’ll see Northern go dull compared to Cornf
