Just ordered the new series 8 with the chain band. Unfortunately not expected until the end of October. Considering the Beton double tour band. I wear a lot of black so the pop of cream/white will look nice, I think. But I’ll wait a little bit. I’m going to wait until the next iteration of the rugged before buying it. First pancake rule.

Hi all, Apple Watch virgin here: I’m keen to finally dive in with the 8 series and I particularly like the look of the double tour straps. Does anyone have advice on the 41 vs the 45? I think I have relatively small wrists (I wear a roulis double tour bracelet at T1 and it fits very comfortably without being too loose), would the 45 with a double tour strap look ok? Or is the only way to find out, to go and try it on? My SA has no idea when they’ll be in stores…

Apple/Hermes has a strange idea that only women would wear double tour bands and that woman only want the smaller size watch face, thus the double tour bands only come fitting the smaller watch (41mm). Technically you could attach the 41mm double tour band to a 45mm watch case but there will be gaps and look a bit funny (and perhaps not as secure?) but if you are really set on the double tour look, I would strongly advise getting the 41mm Watch.

I agree. I have small wrists as well and the bigger watch would overwhelm them.

The band is very similar to a bracelet that I bought from Hermès a few months ago. Leather and palladium chain. It took me almost 8 months to find it, I think I would’ve been less persistent about tracking it down if I’d known this band was coming. It looks amazing.

Will do! I’m sure people on YouTube and influencers will have it way before the end of October though.

Apple Watch newbie here too… I tried on the 7 series just for size and I thought the 45 was overwhelming. Def preferred the 41 for me. Sounds like the 41 would work better for you. I wear a 17 love and a 16 juste un clou bracelet and it sounds like your wrist is smaller than mine. I hope that sorta helps.

I also have smaller wrists and my DH’s 45 looks too big on me. Mine is the smaller size and the double tours - both widths - are a good fit.

Yay. You're the first one to get this combo. I thought about getting this black leather/ Gourmette double tour, for my Hermes series 7 but am wavering at the moment. I just wanted to see more pictures of actual ppl wearing it before I decide.

I also wonder if the palladium chain will be heavy, or will it scratch my AW all the time?
