I have a question. Is double tour band for men as well? Or Was meant for women use?
Women. It’s only available in 40mm and traditionally Hermès sold the double tour bands only with its women’s watches.

So with the band update today I notice the Black Noir Hermes watches aren’t even listed anymore and the new Noir bands are shown with regular SS.

it appears the Hermès Noir SBSS was truly a very small limited time run.
They did advertise it as a limited edition.

I'm aware, but a couple month availability is damned limited.

Glad I picked mine up, its a unicorn.

Same here. The Noir Hermès is now the most exclusive Apple Watch face ever. :)I wouldn’t be surprised if they put out a Space Black or Titanium limited edition Hermès next year. My previous Hermès leather band held up well, but in retrospect I should have picked up a second band. Perhaps the Hermès physical store still has some.

Hermès being a fashion brand, limited runs are to be expected. The cuff was a one-year design. The double buckle I think was 2 generations. Étain has come and gone and come back again.

I just want a ceramic Hermès.

Hi everyone, just wondering whether I can get the single tour band that comes with the SBSS model from anywhere please? Or would I need to get the standard and then swap the lugs over to black to match it?
Thanks

Are the Hermes straps worth the money in terms of quality over an alternative real leather strap?
I think so. I wore one every day for 2 years (a dark blue with a design for the Series 3). It held up very well. After a heavy cleaning with saddle soap it looks like it could easily last another 2 years, though I have moved on to another design.

Note that the Fauve is untreated, so will darken quickly. The colored bands are treated and so you may find them more durable.

I’m after the all black single noir tour but can’t seem to find it anywhere. Saw it on eBay but it’s sold out now.
Does anyone else know of any websites which may stock it? Perhaps somebody selling theirs that they don’t use?

Got the noir 44mm SBSS on release...

So want to get the new noir/brique/etain strap, why can't they release it with SB lugs grrrr

Anyone had luck changing the lugs & recommendation on 3rd party lugs?

Never done it with an actual Hermès band (I find them too short), but I have used the NEWON lugs on my 3rd party Hermès replica bands as well as Apple OEM bands and they match my SBSS case very nicely and are pretty easy to work with.

you're better off maybe getting the lugs plated by professionals
