Who else plans to get the Apple Watch Hermès?

I am so very weary of "cheesecake." It's so trite and conventional. Female or male. And I'm even more weary of having the human form sexualized and objectified . . . on an object. But hey, we each choose what we present to the world and how we present ourselves.
Night Spring bless you but I'm beginning to think you could make a guy leave his favorite bar stool by sitting down next to him.
Well, I see the mods agree with me, and have removed that pic. I guess if you walk into a bar full of MacRumors mods and posters, it's likely you'll find few stools to sit on.
It's a randomly chosen (by my Hermès Apple Watch) face just for me. That's why I posted it, so you could share in my surprise.
The mods can and will do as they please.
Im not bothered by other's sexual hang ups. To me it is quite a harmless pic.
Instant capitulation becomes you. The backhanded insults do not. I'm glad you and the mods weren't on the Supreme Court in 1964.
With my original Apple Watch (Stainless Steel with Classic Band), I used to change bands fairly regularly (mostly between the Classic and Milanese Loop, occasionally to the Link band), and used the Simple watch face with 4 complications. Ever since I bought the Hermes, I have yet to change the band and have used the Hermes watch face almost exclusively. Have others noticed a difference since switching to the Hermes? Just curious.
I'll speak no more on this. For any lady's that were offended by the pic, I hope my most recent heartbeat will allow you to see that I am but a man.
I found this Hermès single tour band on eBay (my original one is black). I still enjoy changing bands.
I also wear this non OEM double tour at times, too.
From here (previously posted in ⌚️ Accessories thread):

The quality of the leather and workmanship of the stitching is excellent. I am very pleased. It is very comfortable. This was a special order. I received it within 10 days from initial order.
How does the band compare to the one that is included with the Apple Watch Hermès? Does the leather feel the same? I notice it is a bit darker. Did it come with the Apple mounts or did you have to add them separately?
The leather feels fantastic. It does not have the sheen of the Hermès leather, but it is very supple. It is a mm thicker, so does not tend to slip underneath the body of the watch like the Hermès double tour tends to do. It is the same color on the inside as on the outside. The stitching "slants" just as on the Hermès band. It does come with an Apple mount/adapter. It is 21/21mm for the 38mm ⌚️. The Hermès is 20/17mm. The seller suggested that the chocolate leather with smoky white stitching on his website is most similar to the Hermès fauve Barenia. I chose the blue/green leather with turquoise stitching for my band, but I'll probably order another with his suggested color scheme. It is really a nice band.
The original Hermès band that came with my Hermès Apple Watch is 20/17mm. The Hermès band that I bought on eBay is 19/17mm - a "silly mm" smaller than original @ the adapter (lug) end.
I missed it, what was the photo of? Obviously posting it will get you in trouble, but can someone explain what all the fuss is about?
I said I would speak no more on this, but in fairness to myself I am going to reply to this post because the removal of the pic by the mods has apparently caused some member's minds to wonder.
I posted a screenshot of my new Hermes Apple Watch photo album face. When you set the watch up, it is set by default to your Favorites album in Photos. It randomly chose a picture of a derrière (I use the French word in keeping with this Hermès thread).
It made me laugh out loud when I came across it, as I only have one derrière photo in my Favorites album, and that's only because I texted it to my lifelong friend Ralph on his birthday (He replied, "THANK YOU"). I wanted to share my laughter and surprise with what I falsely assumed to be a hip, open-minded audience (I still think it is for the most part).
The derrière, as is usually the case, was connected to some legs. The derrière was covered by a bathing suit bottom, although the distinct curvature of said derrière was evident. The owner of the derrière was standing. The hands were behind the back, and each was making what can only be interpreted as a Apple Watch emoji. The right hand was making a symbol akin to his Apple Watch emoji:
The left hand had formed this Apple Watch emoji:
Admittedly, the right hand did seem to know what the left was doing in this case. They were suspiciously close together; practically touching.
The photo prompted first a male member, and then a female member (who mistook the first male member for a female member), to accuse me of poor taste and objectifying women. The aforementioned members I speak of are of course forum members; I don't want any more trouble.
The mods removed the pic.
I absolutely love my Hermès Apple Watch! I wish I could adjust the brightness a little lower when driving at night, but that is my only real complaint. No regrets at all about shelling out the dough.
The strap tapers nicely and is supremely comfortable. I was surprised at how thin it is, and it marks rather easily. The marks disappear when I rub my finger over them. I think it is just the wax coating being disturbed.

Sounds like some people are being a bit sensitive if you ask me. I think that's hilarious of you! It's a shame it was removed. Anyways, glad you're enjoying the watch! If I had known it was coming out so soon, I wouldn't have purchased my space black stainless steel.
Just search for "Hermès watch band" on eBay. There are several to choose from. For a 38mm Apple Watch, get a 20/17mm or a 19/17mm band. The bands can be somewhat costly, but usually less expensive than purchasing from Hermès directly. I'm not certain which size would fit the 42mm. Hope this helps you.
I'm happy you like your watch. FYI: According to my birth certificate, I AM (and always have been) a female.
