I visited the Chicago store and the SA pulled out the iPad and recommended I do an SO as I need a longer strap. A bit confused though as the H Heure only came in rose gold. She was surprised as well? Also when she went to strap length it only had one size option for all the colors. How can it be an SO when there are no color options or length options? She did say she could order a customer length strap for me via the normal process but not as part of the SO event going on at the moment.

New to Hermes. Can anyone give me insight?
You can customize other things like the material of the watch face and if there are diamonds etc. The SO program is just a narrow menu of choices that they splice together to make a "customized" full set. It is also a relatively new program (around five years old) and prior to that, one could always order one-off straps depending on available choices via just normal item procurement. If she can order the length you need via stand alone order, I would just do that.

I agree with acrowcounted, easier for you to order the extra strap through the regular order system. I have ordered several straps to my H tpm in both normal leather and alligator. So many tempting shades.

I got invited to customize a watch yesterday and I can’t wait for September to come when they will have it ready for me. I chose an automatique Cape Code steel watch with Opaline dial in emerald alligator strap. They said it ends this month of May. And if you choose another watch like a His and Hers it will come in a free wooden watch box.
Yay!! This sounds fantastic! Great combo. Congratulations and yes, you would get a nice wood box for two. I did it a couple years ago. Very nice. Please post your new SO watch when you receive it. Can’t wait!
