about 10 minutes after I placed the order I knew I would not want the stainless steel. Last year when pre-orders went live I decided OK this year I’m going to order a stainless steel. I just really enjoy the luxury feel of their leather bands and the uniqueness in the colors and the patterns that Hermes comes out with. I own six of the their leather bands And if it wasn’t for that I’m most likely wouldn’t wear an Apple Watch. And the only reason I did that is because of Hermes model Apple Watch. But I’ll tell you something I’ve worn various Rolex‘s for over 25 years and never thought I would see the day where I would put that aside and wear a Apple Watch. So now i get my Rolex watches with the jubilee band. But I’ve had several Rolexes that had the oyster band and would get the micro scratches on them and I don’t like the way they wear. I do not like the regular stainless steel cause it gestill scratched up with micro scratches and I just really like the look of the black stainless. I just really prefer the sleekness and understated look of the black stainless steel. Series 7 will be my Hermes third SBSS model as i only had 1 SS.
