Yeah the lugs don't match but the combo of the leather and the white look so good, I am willing to overlook the SS lugs.

A fellow macrumors member posted this earlier and on his flickr (sorry I forgot his username) and he’s managed to get black lugs with the Hermes. This looks better IMO

I keep going back and forth between white and gray. The white looks great with the bands, but the black is more subtle and doesn't contrast as much with the screen. I didn't think about this until someone pointed it out.... I know it's not possible, but wouldn't be awesome if the screen kinda match? (Similar to a traditional watch)

I do like the brown leather paired with the white ceramic. That looks really sharp. Even a black leather band would go really well with that combination.

He's legit plus the softer material will always give way to the harder material no matter how hard it's pushed. Take it for what it is that the sapphire glass on AW3 is equivalent in Mohs scale to typical front display glass and not as good as $200 Tissot sapphire glass.

Well I can say right here my sport has lots of scratches, my SS none at all. I've used them alternate days for 2 years and bashed them on more occasions than I care to remember. The sapphire screen works fine for me, so I'm not bothered by this video one bit.

I’m not a ceramic owner yet but for you guys with the white one, check out this third party band. I got the red leather option they also had tan, grey and black. Key is that the buckles and lugs are black. I think it would look phenomenal with a ceramic white. Got it for my space grey series 2 with the hope to use it again when I upgrade to my dream white ceramic edition.
[doublepost=1506514640][/doublepost]Oh it was 12 usd shipped on Ali express. I’m traveling at the moment but will post here about quality when I return. I bought a red leather loop from the same seller and it’s pretty darn identical to the official Apple version (for ten bucks!! Heck if the color fades I’ll replace it a few times and still be ahead)

Sorry, but it is IMO ugly as hell. Hermes is about heritage and SS. Also ceramic and SS lugs do not match, period. But Of course we might have a different taste ;)

I disagree. I think the ceramic and SS look cool together. Reminds me of old kitchen appliances that were ceramic and stainless steel. KitchenAid still does this with their mixers. I like it a lot.

Yeah that would like amazing. That picture was from I think the 2 day after I got the ceramic last year. I don’t wear my Hermès all that much, but I do like the combo a lot.

I have never like the brown and the ceramic combo.

Not saying it doesn't look nice but I don't think I would wear the combo.

Oh I don’t know if it made out of ceramic, but the color scheme is the same. I am sure they don’t because it would cost too much.

This is what I am talking about. This is old style ceramic appliances. White on stainless steel. Looks awesome to me.
