Thank you so much, would really appreciate! Contemplating between doing this or the MOP face dial!
Hi! Here’s a couple more photos. Sorry for the reflections.

I truly don’t believe it’s matte. Thinking more about Mother of Pearl face option IMHO I have several with MOP. Seldom do I see a champagne/nude face. I’m happy to have ordered it because it’s a little different.

Please do let us know what you decide and when you receive your watch a photo is appreciated ! Which ever you decide it will be beautiful.

Ok I just placed my order remotely! It's Cape Cod, Heure H, and Nantucket for women and Slim and Cape Cod for men. Choices for men pretty limited. Various casings for women in rose gold and stainless steel, with and without diamonds... Various dials and straps. Some dials are only available with certain casings so you may have to play around with that. Lots of colors for straps. Plus engraving on the back. You can do text and/or a symbol (seems to be the same symbols available for SO bags.) If you order 2 watches, you get the special box as before. Estimated delivery is August 2023. I'm happy with my choices and I'm looking forward to getting them!!
Hi there congrats on your special order! I’d love to know a bit more about the process before reaching out to my SA. Is full payment due up front or at pickup? Was there a nice election of dials or anything different from what we typically see on the website

you will need to pay a deposit... cant remember but maybe it was around 30-40% of the price. Several color leather bracelets to chose from: all croc leather. Can choose types of dial, between silver and real gold face, with or w/o diamonds on the bezel or face, etc., watch size of course and i believe length of the bracelet and holes on it.

For my store, 50% deposit required with the order. The dials were pretty similar to what is typically on the website but you could choose different watch style/casing combinations not typically available. For example, if there is a dial you like that's typically only available with a Heure H watch, you might be able to get that dial on a Nantucket instead, and you can choose if you want stainless steel, plain rose gold casing or with diamonds. Although some dials are only available with certain casings, so it's not a mix and match free for all. I didn't see any dials that I have never seen before (mind you I was doing this remotely so I may have missed out on some stuff), but you can mix up the casings and the straps to make it your own. My SA said that he has never seen the combo I chose for myself. Plus the engraving is special. I had something sentimental engraved on our watches. I do think it would be really cool if they offered a limited edition dial only available with the SOs. Maybe for next year. :smile:

Edited to add: I'm not sure if all the stores are offering the event...maybe others can chime in. I got an email specifically stating one of the stores I shop in, and I did not get an email from the other store.

Does anyone know if the galop d hermes watch is customizable? And does it come in small size? I only see medium and large online.
Look like from @Bdbunny post Galop d Hermes may not be an option this time BUT if you are near Madison or SF stores (there may be other stores. larger stores seem to have this option all the time) you may want to check them out. My store is small so it's been offering the SO Watch event once or twice a year since I've been ordering in 2020 but never know if it will continue so I go in to check it out.
 
Thanks @Hermes Zen !!! Your watches turned out BEAUTIFUL!! I love the geometric dial on your Heure H! Actually I think the one I ordered for my hubby is very similar to yours!! I hope mine turn out as nice as yours!!
Thank you! Love to see both of yours! I am very interested in seeing your DH's watch dial. It wasn't an option last year for mens otherwise I would have ordered it for my hubby. He loves my geometric dial. Maybe next time? :love: I'm starting to wonder how many H watches do I need?!? :lol:

oops sorry, I meant my hubby's dial is very similar to your hubby's dial! :blush:
but yes, I am also wondering how many H watches I need! I actually wasn't planning on getting another watch, but couldn't pass the opportunity to customize one! I'm a sucker for personalizing things!

I might have misread. :blush: My hubby loves his watch also! The blue is gorgeous and especially love the engraving option. Personalized things are wonderful. Love it!
