I'm seeing a theme here of folks just going to Hermes for the Watch, instead of waiting for Apple. I was thinking of doing the same; I have an order for a Hermes Watch through Apple with Apple Care included, and I'd love to just go the faster route but I don't see any options for AC on Hermes' site. Is there anyone who could tell me how apple care comes into the picture with Hermes if you are buying from them?
If you remember from last year, you could only buy from a Hermes store. Then they started selling them on Hermes.com. AKA, hermes seems to get first dibs.
AppleCare+ is the same way when you buy a regular apple product without AppleCare+ later on. You have I believe 60 days to go in store an purchase the warranty or you can call in. I've never called in though but it's my understanding that you may have to provide photo evidence that your watch is in good shape.
thanks for the info. I'm thinking I'll just hold out for my processing order as opposed to going to Hermés. One less step
i ordered from Hermes on Saturday and watch is arriving tomorrow!
42MM Single tour in fauve.
super excited!
I would advise anyone thinking to order from Hermes to not opt to pay for the overnight shipping; i chose free shipping and mine is still arriving as if shipped overnight.
It may be because the item is dispatched from NJ and I am in Eastern PA.
Will post photos tomorrow!
Good luck everyone!

I was able to get the 42mm from the SF store. Seems like they have plenty in stock. After a weekend of use I decided to return the edition and just go with the Hermes. The Hermes leather band is the most comfortable band for me and it didn't really work well with the edition.
Just got my Hermes delivered today, Ordered Monday morning. Wow is this watch beautiful. I had the original SS version watch for series 0 but the leather band, and orange sport band are perfect. Add to that the Hermes watch faces which will work great for the office, sorry I'm not sold on the apple based watch faces. Bad thing is I might like these bands so much that I need to save up for some other Hermes bands.
My wife and I both exchanged our ceramic Edition models for Hermes Series 2 models. They came today.
My initial thoughts are that the Hermes leather feels really unbelievable. Somehow way nicer than I was imagining. I also really dig the orange sport band. You can also customize the Hermes watch face colors to match the orange band. Here are some photos of my Single Tour.

Anyone looking, the Apple Store online seems to have refreshed stocks of the S2 models today. The deployment buckle, which was showing as unavailable since pre-orders launch, now shows 5-7 weeks! Now here's hoping it will wind up expedited and arrive just like the JB 7+.
On another note - has anyone noticed that many Apple Stores permanently show "Unavaialble for Pickup" for the Hermès models? I understand that only certain flagship stores carry them as normal stock, but it's maddening to not be able to order one to my local store under any circumstances. Not so keen on having a $1500 watch sitting outside the house.

please keep us posted whether you think over time it is worth it...
I am seriously considering to cancel my AWN+ order in order to get the Hermes version. It is however almost 1.000 bucks more expensive than the AWN+ ....
