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

I'm US. :( Kinda late, I ordered in the evening on the first day, but I was hoping that was quick enough.

I really hope we can get ours by next Friday? I think that's reasonable considering it's only been the first day and Apple has made huge progress

I'm hoping so, too. I'm not sure where I got the information, but I was under the impression that making a try-on appointment would still get you a good place in line, but now I kinda feel like it blew my chances.
 
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).

Picked up my 38mm ML this morning at local UPS hub in Arizona. It's so purdy. Hope everyone else's comes soon!
 
My 38mm Milanese is out for delivery. I ordered the black sport band separately and it's expected to arrive sometime in May.

I'm in the Midwestern US.
 
4/10 Confirmation @ 3:16 AM EST

That's definitely a better window than some bands. I can still be hopeful! :D

EDIT:

I'd like to claim my legend status please.

London, England.

42mm SS Black Classic Buckle ordered when store came online, in first shipping window:

No charges, no movement. Email of death.

Girlfriend ordered a day later after try on appointment:

38mm SS Milanese Loop estimates 4-6 weeks shipping.

Charged, shipped. Arrives tomorrow.

Why do bad things happen to good people?

While I feel bad for this guy, his girlfriend's watch gives a lot of us some hope!

Mine arrived today, but it's headed back because I screwed up and should have ordered a 42 :-/
 
give it to me!!

Sold on Craigslist. Before anyone beheads me, let me say that the very nice girl was THRILLED to get one of the only SS/Milanese in Los Angeles. Her husband was also delighted. They had thought it would be available in stores because they are not obsessed geeks like us. At the end of the day, they had the first SS of anyone they knew, and the cost of my 42 mm SS will be hugely setoff when it ships in June. Capitalism=we all win.

Haha, yeah I'm waiting for my 38 mm to finish "processing". It's going to be a tough wait
 
Yup. My 42 mm is processing. I ordered black AND white to see which is quicker.

I've just got a milanese plus a separate white sport band. I feel like my wait is going to take a bit longer because of my 4/10 5 AM order time. It's just hard when I see people in the UK getting their milanese watches after having ordered 4/15 or later even
 
Has anyone seen some movement this weekend? I saw a few people said they were charged over the weekend.
 
My 38mm Stainless Steel with Milanese Loop was charged and shipped on Friday in the evening Pacific time. It was ordered late on April 10th (9pm-ish). The UPS tracking number they gave me on Friday still does not work this morning, sadly.
