I hope these help! My watch is 41mm. I'm returning the band because it only fits well when I'm at the perfect temperature. When I'm cold it's too big and when I'm hot it's too small. That happens on other bands too from last year on, but it's manageable on those. The deployment buckle on the Kilim though makes it unworkable.
Also the deployment buckle does make the underside of the band thick but it doesn't look exceptionally bulky.
So I exchanged the 41mm for the 45mm in store and it was a painless experience.
I love the width of the band much better. The 41mm seemed too thin (probably cos I’m used to the width of the 45mm bands).
Also the smallest hole fits my wrist so I won’t need to add any holes myself. Maybe the thicker rubber makes a difference.
I got the Kaki Kilim. Ignore the pile of shoes in the background

It's a tad thicker than a Swift band, and the deployment buckle adds additional thickness on the inside.
That looks awesome!
May I ask your wrist size? Maybe I won’t have to add holes when I get mine as well!
I’m *patiently* waiting for the 45mm space black case and noir Kilim band to be available on the H website!
155mm. I usually add one hole to the leather bands but I think the deployment clasp and thicker rubber makes the smallest hole fit ok.That looks awesome!

It’s definitely thinner on the sides, the deployment buckle etc. on the back adds some thickness. I thought it would bother me, but I don’t notice it. It doesn’t get in the way like I thought it might. I always wanted a deployment band, but I’m not sure I would get another - it’s more fussy to me. I’m keeping this one for sure though.
I’ve worn either leather or sports bands, all of which are very flat. I actually really like this band. It looks a little bit dressier than a sport band but it’s waterproof and carefree, like a sport band. HTH
I agree, and while I am keeping mine as well I don't get it - it's not easier to close than just buckling and you still have to tuck in the strap into the loops after.
I felt the same when I first got a deployment clasp. But after you get used to it, it’s very to easy to click it in place and tuck the strap in.
This wouldn’t apply to rubber straps but it creates less stress on the hole you’re using. It’s quite evident on leather strap holes where they are less worn
Exactly and it’s just slightly better for the leather… That’s why I snatched a swift Noir band before the arrival of the S9 in store, given that this particular band is now only available with that deployment buckle. Which is interesting btw, considering that other swift bands are available without the buckle.
Thanks! I’ll probably need to add a hole to the Kilim. My right wrist is 150mm and I usually have two holes added to the leather bands.
I got my Hermes Series 9 today. Although I love it, disappointed there weren’t more face options
The search for my favourite S9 Hermès is over for me! Got the SBSS S9 with Vert Cypres single tour from the Hermès store just now and it’s perfect.
I asked for SSS S9 with Fauve Clou de Selle and they didn’t have it in store so went with the SBSS.
The Vert Cypres is a mystical green and looks very stealthy and classy.
I also didn’t expect it to be a match made in heaven with the evergreen FineWoven case.

What a beautiful bad @zzzman! How nice it goes with your case. It’s important to have just what we want the way we want it. And after wearing my Kilim with the deployment buckle for a few weeks I have to say I have grown to really like it.
