Is the Fauxbourg Party face on all Hermes watches or only the one that comes with the Fauxbourg Party strap edition ?
I just git mine today

On the normal Hermès watches for sure, not sure from which Series but it has nothing to do with the strap.
On Hermès Ultra you don‘t have the Faubourg Party watchface

I just picked up the Blanc Scub 'H for my Hermes UW3. Love the fit and feel, but the top piece is difficult to attach. Has anyone had issues with some lugs being a little more difficult than others to attach?

I've been spamming my Apple Store saved list daily, LOL, and surprised to find this restock.

Not a Faubourg Party—sigh—but Béton Kilim 🤭

Definitely and hopefully these pics help visualize how HU3 + 46mm Faubourg strap pair together—also gave me an excuse to whip out the Mitutoyo.

Lots of pics incoming! Please, click on the thumbnails to enlarge.

*Note, I calipered these very quickly, since my SA was glaring at me, and difference could be off by +/–0.30mm*

I measured the Faubourg at two points—at lug width and strap width—and En Mer just at the strap width, since my adjustment strap width at lug is just slightly narrower.

TLDR; Absolutely luvin' Faubourg + HU3 w/noir Maritime watch face.

*Edits, fixed thumbnails*

Thanks so much for this!
Are the holes in the same positions in both bands?
I have a small wrist and normally wear the En Mer in the last 1 or 2 holes. Wondering if the 46 mm Faubourg would be the same or it may fit worst!

Interested as well. Since my move to the Hermes AWU, I have noticed the bands run bigger!

Here you go.

There are 8 holes in the En Mer tail strap and 7 holes in the 46mm Faubourg. Ignore the hole offsets, they're fairly lined up where the En Mer might be a mm so in and my Gris En Mer hasn't been worn as much as the other two and isn't was formed to my wrist.

Hope this helps.

I’m torn between this in the Blanc. Anyone have experience with both? Pros/cons?

Blanc is a white "white" and Béton is an off-white with subtle gray undertones—to my eyes is warm in tone, but I recall it's described as cool-toned. I haven't ordered Blanc Kilim yet but planning to pick up both Blanc Kilim and Scuba'H Diving sometime in spring if they're still available.

Only con I see is getting dye transfer onto either one, LOL 🤭

Ja, the buckle strap is the same length. It doesn't look like it in the photo since the buckle and keeper are a different design and tried "flattening" orange En Mer as much as possible since it's well formed to my wrist.

Comparing all of my En Mer with Faubourg, just noticed that my orange is shorter than the others, LOL.

I have them both and love them both equally!!
While they both look great as light colored bands, I had the blanc and sold it for the Beton. I much prefer the slightly tan tone of the beton, which matches quite a lot of my outfits and looks more elegant to me. It helps that it also suits my brown-ish skin tone as well lol. The bright white of the blanc was a bit much, I could only find myself wearing occasionally. THey are different enough though that if you find both appealing, you can probably alternate them depending on what youre wearing!
