Oh fancy! How does the Hermès noir compare to the gen 1 black?
Our black1 (silver pin) is so used that it’s def lighter than the Hermes, but still I think even new it would be slightly lighter than the Hermes. The Hermes noir face is so blacked out beyond anything else Apple does, I feel like the Hermes band would get similar vantablack treatment.

@jeremyfernie will tell us definitively once the courier digs out of the snow. That said it’s nothing crazy special especially without a 44mm dark watch beyond my gray ceramic which I’m giving to my dad soon-ish. Just had to have it when it becme available via apple support for 49+shipping. Until I get a 44mm Unity, I can’t pair it with those pieces for a green- or red-only look.

Hey braided solo loop owners, could you help me with close photos of the two lug heads, two sides? Thank you!!!!
 
@Cotypubby: Thank you for the very detailed photos.
It seems that these two knots of this side are extremely weak. Mine is the same.

What do you mean exactly? Are they fraying or have come away from the lug? I have 3 of these braided loops so I’d be interested to know if you don’t mind elaborating 🙂

Yeah it's fraying a little bit. Not from the lug, but from the other threads. Let me take a photo of mine.

Here you can see the marked thread of this side. It's easy to fray out
