I think it looks terrible. The SS against the white Ceramic is jarring. I cant handle that and I love both the Edition and Hermès Watches.
Got a tip for us?

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.

I know right!?!?
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)
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 😉
Some new footage. Guy talks a lot of crap but impression of the watch is perfect 🙂
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.

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)

This imore article tells you where to get lug replacement kits from, and how to do it. So you can swap out those Steel ones for cool cool space black.

Wealthy?
Not me, I simply chose to stop drinking. It's amazing how much money you can save.

I'm also not wealthy. I don't drink, go clubbing or smoke, so these sorts of things are my only indulgence.
Haha me too. It’s amazing how much disposable income you have left over.
pushing really hard and maybe the coating is causing some friction so its kidna acting like a little

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.

I think it’s a love or it hate it thing. Some people love it (me lol) and other hate it. I just like that Apple does not limit us on our band choices. We can really make the Watch our own.
Ceramic, are you sure ? https://www.theknot.com/content/kitchenaid-mixer-evolution-historyI 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.

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.

Lol, yes but that refrigerator is actually ceramic. That bug is like the KitchenAid mixer, painted metal.
