Hermès Edition Owners Thread

I don’t have a kilim, but I find the leather clasp very buttery and easy and I imagine the softer band material is even easier than a rubber?

@athousandbands you can no longer get it from Apple. Does Hermes allow a trial period like Apple does?

 

[Dstopsie]

Anyone using the Khacki Kilim band with the SB Hermes AW? Is it a good match?

I am and yes it is!!!

 

[Dstopsie]

@athousandbands Are the Kilim deployment bands easier or more difficult to manage than the leather deployment bands. I find the Kilim ones very easy to manage. I am considering a leather one, but not if it is more difficult.

They both are easy to use. I have all the Kilim bands and the Ebene and Noir deployment bands and that’s why I like them. Because they are so easy to slip on and off.

Is there any info on the underside of the box? Maybe the weird look is because it’s the old noir band in “box” leather?

Noir Hermès Leather | Bandbreite

The Noir, Hermès Leather was released in Fall 2015

We know they faked 18k gold for the sake of the display case but I don’t think they would need to cut corners in an Hermes store or Hermes-wealthy Apple Store? Given we now know Apple thinks Hermes leather is worth 30 bones.

There was a band in box?! 🥹

That said, it's weird they didn't post a pic of the pointy end that has the Hermes stamp.

Yeah and I think I’ve even seen one on ebay once?! Obviously impossible to search, if eBay even kept all their completed listings

View attachment 2305466Hi!
Is this Hermes band legit?
First time, when I’m seeing the one for a display only

Looks fake to me. The texture of the leather doesn't look right. And all Hermès leather single tours have 7 holes. This one has 6.

Same.

I have the Orange Single Tour and Fauve Barenia, they are both much softer than the Kilim.

This will only make sense to those of us in the UK.

If you call Hermès, the first thing you get is a menu asking if you want to speak to Hermès the luxury goods brand (option 1) or My Hermes the parcel delivery company (option 2).

😂

What color would you say that is?

iPhone Anemone

iPhone Anemone

Based on the way that picture looks and if it is labeled 41mm, feels more like Cassis, no?

looks like you were onto something. They initially called it anemone and it’s darker so I assumed it was a first gen.

But they’ve now updated the posting and called it a cassis.

So not rare.

Good eye!

Haha I messaged them with Bandbreite screenshots. Poor seller was sold it as Bordeaux by another ebayer. Not rare but definitely “fresh” as that band is fairly new and you don’t see a ton of listings.

Prob one that sold out before the fire sale? I def want the Jumping version.

I think the stitching gives it away since Anemone 2 has such vibrant contrast to it.

Yes for sure! But the way iPhones process color in photos I would not be surprised if I got it and it was actually Anemone.

Yeah one shouldn’t assume it’s even getting the stitching contrast right. It’s a shame they don’t put 41mm on the underside.

Whatever it is, in this game of eBay telephone I think cassis is a lot closer than Bordeaux

New band day! I’ve always found the Twill to be expensive, since it’s almost the same price as leather. But I really like this design. It’s quite smooth and shiny, so it looks more classy and “formal” than the other Jumping bands I have.

Yep, I looked up things that color too when you asked lol.

Actually the colors aren’t much better on the Hermes site. I was disappointed at how dark rouge h was in person on the tag I bought.

This combo is amazing!

Yes and it bugs most of us.

The thing is: it does not bug me that it's there at this particular position (I actually find it better off-center so the watch face doesn't shrink), it bugs me that I can't turn it off altogether.

Think of it as a designer's echo of the Hermès accent grave. Oui oui? Eet's not a bug, eet's a feature 😆

I’ve grown used to it and actually like it now 😬. I think because I started pulling the menu down from that side so it makes sense to my brain now that it’s over there.

A match of Blanc and Rose simple tour bands.

Kilim update: I’ve had the strap for about a week now. My wrist seems to have got used to the initial discomfort I felt and I mostly don’t feel it any more. Mostly. It’s still not as soft and smooth as the leather deployment. But it’s my daily driver and I’m keeping it. I just love how it looks.

 

[justinteo]

I am thinking, possible to swap out the kilim bands’ deployment buckle with the leather’s normal buckle?

Then the leather ones would come with deployment, which is more needed since leather creases (that line at the holes) each time I put on and take off. The kilim won’t have this problem, so it can use the normal buckle.
