Congrats and fingers crossed it gets approved! This is what I don't understand though, I requested the same bracelet from two different boutiques and both said they do not do pink MOP in bracelets, so they can not take a special order for them. Do they lie or do they not know what they're talking about?

Hi Ann, it depends on the person's VIP status if the boutique is willing to submit pink MOP SO requests.
My pink MOP SO requests were submitted last year. It was not approved by Paris. I was told it's on the waiting list, and will need resubmission later this year.
Who knows if there is any chance for approval?

Hopefully it does get approved. Have you reached the spend threshold to be allowed to submit SO requests?

What items did you request for you SO? Has your SA resubmitted your request yet.

Without going into details... I requested 4 pieces pink MOP jewelries (including 1 with alternating pave). The entire SO set was not approved.
I was told it needs resubmission in August this year, and VCA needs to source more pink MOP.

Has anyone ever had a “hold” status on their SO request? My SA said it’s likely that it’s approved pending acquisition of materials but cannot be officially approved until they know they can make it and price it out.

I think so also. Most photos I have seen are worn long, but it seems like it would spin immediately in real life.

No have not even seen it in stores. I would have a motif removed and wear it tight to avoid spinning. Some others have on here, can ask them. Let me find…

I've tried on the pink MOP sweet Alhambra watch. It is stunning but unfortunately does spin and move around a lot. They can remove a motif to fit, but I was told they cannot remove the motifs at the clasp - so there would be asymmetry in the sequence of the alternating motifs. I am a 16 JUC and would need 1 motif removed so it would be comfortably loose but not falling off. I felt that this would bother me since it would be apparent from looking at the face of the watch. Perhaps others have had different experiences with what they are willing to do. I attached a picture from the website, I hope that helps.
