Charged around 4:30pm EST today and then status updated to 'Preparing for Shipment' within a few minutes. Confirmation email came through @ 3:04am
 
I got charged for my wife's 38mm Milanese around 4:30pm and status flipped with in 10 minutes. Still waiting for my 42
 
Ahh so happy and jealous of you guys. I'm in the same watch group but ordered at like 5:30 PST. I'm in the next group of May 12th - 27th
 
Thank you all!! I just went to Preparing for shipment! So happy!! I'll be around though, you are not getting rid of me that easy:D

It may get bumped up. I'm hearing that a lot of them are likely to get bumped up. Hang in there!
 
Haha thanks! I guess the sooner you guys get your orders, the faster I'll get mine!

Exactly! I hope everyone gets bumped up. :)

The window might tighten up from 2 weeks on these to a week or less, which would pull all the people in the 2nd wave in to get theirs the first week of May.

Or, sooner than that would be nice!

From a logical standpoint, Apple will want as many people who preordered to get theirs within the first week of launch as humanly possible. What better way to sell more of them and finally get them out in stores?

When they said they would not have inventory in stores until May, they probably hoped that meant the first week or two of May. This would be good for them AND good for everyone who preordered.
 
Mine also got charged and prepped for shipping. Here's hoping everyone else gets theirs soon!
 
Yippee!!!! I have a wonderful update. In the last 2 hours, it's 5:08pm Central. My 38 SS Milanese Loop has changed to preparing for shipment and my credit union Visa has been charged. Unfortunately my husbands 42 SS Black Leather Classic still has a processing status, but I'm not even going to mention it because he hasn't been on these boards and he is blissfully unaware of all this movement or no movement drama. LOL
 
38mm SS with Milanese loop. Preparing for ship... and charged Chase Visa 3:00 PM today
Portland, OR
 
I placed my order @ 12:18 for the 38 SS milanese and its still processing. My delivery date is 4/24-5/8. I'm in Central Cali
 
Do we have any movement on this one? I'm starting to fear that it wasn't as popular, so they kinda threw it to the side to focus on more popular ones (like how some June are already shipped).
 
I ordered one on April 17- so late to the party here... my estimated delivery is May 20-June 3. Hasn't stopped me from obsessing though... hoping you all get your watches soon.... so they can move onto me!!

And now, Chase's site must be down, because I can't get into to see my account activity. :mad: As of a few hours ago, I hadn't been charged yet, but would love to see a charge on there soon.

No Milanese is definitely super popular. But they have definitely been stocked in a slightly more bias manner. Just from this site, tons of people in the UK who ordered after the 10th have already received their watches. In addition, if you go through Instagram, you'll realize that yes the large population of watches are the sport, but there's a ton of milanese loop pics from UK.

Not sure why they got theirs so much earlier and ahead of schedule. I feel like Apple is going by supply --> continent ---> order receive time
