If ordering a SO Watch, does it increase your chances of a QB? And do you have to pay upfront for the watch (I read on here 1/2 depoist..but wasn't sure if that was still the case).

I think it depends on where you live. Asian countries, not necessarily. But, it’s a good way to show your commitment and loyalty to the brand. It’s best to buy what you love.

The SAs love it. I’m wondering if they get higher incentives during SO watch events. But it does not necessarily guarantee a qb. Conversely, declining to do one also does not ruin your chances of a qb. Best to buy what you love as posted above and find a trustworthy S.A.

I haven't been to one, but I have been invited to one. You pay half deposit up front, the rest when the watch arrives.

I think like anything else, if you help your SA meet their KPIs/sales quotas (it is a business relationship after all), they would be more likely to remember you.
 
She’s finally here! After 7 months long lol. Love how the iridiscent MOH resembles the Mauve Pale strap; and how subtle is the engraving logo (the four leaf clover) 🥰
BEAUTIFUL @hermeshuntress! Congratulations and thank you for sharing. Enjoy especially during this holiday season!! ... Don't forget you can order more straps to go with your bags and outfits. :flowers:

An SA at the NY Madison Ave store invited me to an Hermes watch personalization event/opportunity. It lasts from 3/19-3/31, and you can customize a Nantucket, Cape Code, Slim, Cut, H Hour (I think this is Heur H?). Has anyone participated in this before, or is anyone else going?

If so, do you know if you're expected to buy and customize a brand new watch, or is it meant to customize a watch you already own? I own one of the options that's eligible for customization, and was a little unclear about whether or not there's an expectation to buy another watch. Thanks everyone!
Many on this thread have ordered watches from the event. ;)
 
Hi @periwinklepenguin. Welcome to this thread! And thank you @Meta!!

I’ve participated three times and unless it’s changed since I last attended these SO watch events, you select the watch to purchase and options like what dial face, gold or not, diamonds or not etc. I have two watch faces that I’ve chosen that I’ve not seen available yet outside of the SO. They were ordered 2 & 3+ years ago. I love this program. It’s fun. BUT if you don’t see a combo you love, it’s okay not to order. I’ve done that once so far. Hope this helps! 😊
