My SO watch band for the Cape Cod arrived today! It took about 5 months. The leather is swift. I asked for epsom but it wasn't available per Paris office. I think it still came out great. The leather band cost $300 and the palladium hw was $100 of course plus tax. Really the cost of the SO band is same as regularly offered leather bands I have purchased. Very happy SO band didn't cost more! Thanks for letting me share. I am very happy with the turn out.

Is this the same Cape that you ordered back in 2020? I feel like I remember you ordered one around the same time that I did (Mar 2020) and if I'm understanding correctly they allowed you to place an order for just the band a few months ago? If so, I guess I know what I'm asking my SA about lol
Edited: OR maybe you were saying they should off SO Apple Bands?
yes you misunderstood or perhaps I was unclear. I meant: I wish they’d allow us to order customized Apple Watch straps! 
Hi @corgimom11 ! Yes, this is the watch I ordered week before pandemic shutdown!! I remember you ordering yours too!
I've been buying regular bands for it but wanted to try for one that went with my SO Kelly. I'm very happy I did!! Did you order more bands for your SO Cape Cod?
My mistake. I'm with you! I would LOVE for H to do that. I'm going to ask my sa unless you recently asked and they said no.
I have not but I’m sure it would be a “no” based on it being a partnership with Apple who holds their product line very tightly. Would love to know for sure though if you end up asking!My mistake. I'm with you! I would LOVE for H to do that. I'm going to ask my sa unless you recently asked and they said no.
I haven't ordered more bands, yet. I just have the Barenia one. I'm starting to get the jewelry/watch itch again a little, but with the watches, the standard bands fit, but it's just really a tad snug so I'll have to see if they'll do something like this with a Heure, Arceau or Nantucket..since they'll likely have to custom order the band for me for optimal fit. It gives me something to think about and at least ask to have a few more options hopefully so thank you!
You bet, any time! Sound like it is something they can do for you. I remember you posted the band length discussion. I know Nantucket was doable as a SO band. I will probably order one some time in the future. Please post what you discover, order ... love to hear!I haven't ordered more bands, yet. I just have the Barenia one.

Amazing combo. Both on the bag and on the watch strap. Can I know the color combination?My SO watch band for the Cape Cod arrived today! It took about 5 months. The leather is swift.

You are correct @acrowcounted. My sa didn't give a reason but your thought sounds correct to me. Big sigh.

Kind of off topic but i was offered a quota bag without expecting it on that store visit when i decided to place order for a custom H watch (in US). Got my custom watch a little bit after 3 months-ish. I bought extra customized croc watch straps from a different company for variety.
That’s great to hear! Congrats on your quota bag!! Love to hear what customized Croc watch straps you were able to purchase. I’ve purchased H alligator straps for my watches. Wonderful to have a variety we can use.
