Here's all my straps. I have a single tour in White Matte Alligator, a double tour in Noir Swift, a single tour in Noir Epsom, a Double Tour in Gris Epsom and a Double tour in Gold Epsom. I've been looking for a white double tour for a few years now and haven't been able to locate one. I'd also like to add a Mauve pale and Etain if I can find them. View attachment 5848464

I love exotic straps and hope to collect other colors. I have white like yours. I definitely want a green alligator.

I bought a Cape Cod in FSH in 2019. Generally, you have to buy the watch with the strap it comes with. That said, the straps are easy to change. I bought 2 additional straps at the time I got the watch, and have bought several more since then. I got the stainless steel version with Diamonds, but i believe the gold is solid gold, so wearing off shouldn't be a problem. I have 5 watches that I wear daily changing them to suit my mood/outfit etc. The Cape Cod with the diamonds is in frequent rotation, and the diamonds seem to be fine. Since I use the leather bands, I've never gotten my watches wet, so can't comment on how waterproof they are, but you probably don't want to shower, swim etc in them. Mine is quartz, do they make other movements? View attachment 5848374

I bought the steel band/white dial Cape Cod recently. I have another black dial Cape Cod and multiple straps that I love to swap out. I have swapped straps with my first black dial Cape Cod for 3 years now with no issues.

The pins on the steel Cape Cod band aren't secured in and can fall out, so maybe they are more susceptible to wear and tear... One of the steel band pins snapped when I was swapping the straps. Had to turn in the whole watch in to H for several weeks to get another pin replacement. I have had the repaired watch back for a few weeks now.

But then today I noticed little metal bits in my jewelry box. One of the pins apparently broke again, but this time a metal tip fell off somehow and then spring inside fell out too. I can put the pin together, but it won't stay together. So now I have to turn in the watch again just to get a new pin. Grrrr... Bumming me out as I was trying to the H watch thing only and no other brand of watch, but I am finding the pins to be too delicate.

The steel band Cape Cod is a relatively new- just wondering if I am the only one with issues with the pins in the steel band?

Hi, I've never owned an Hermes watch but for the first time I'm thinking of getting the new Kelly watch, simply because it doesn't look like a watch and can be worn as a bracelet without the lock...:biggrin::P. Does anyone own one? Would love to hear your opinion even if you don't. Thanks.

I’ve tried this on and It’s indeed very nice, and the watch face actually stays in place rather than flying around like the old Kelly watch model (with the leather bracelet). The version with diamonds on the face (but not the bracelet) is subtle and beautiful.

This watch collection was supposed to be released a year ago, talk about production delays! Now available in stores though. Where are you located?

Have had mine for about 8 years. It's working absolutely fine and the straps have held up great. I have straps in the original Braise croc and Iris Swift (special ordered from FSH). I apologise that this is such a late response as I only saw your post now. Here's a pic. ;)

Thank you for the mod shot! I have the braise croc but it’s amazing how a different color strap makes it look like a totally new watch. Want to add another strap :)
