Hey I'm in roanoke too and I ordered a 42mm loop. Keep me posted if yours changes!
Ok so today is totally a CRAZY DAY!
I'm in Los Angeles and me and a buddy go to breakfast.
We start talking about the Apple Watch and our preorders.
We both ordered the SS Black Sport band. Both ordered on 4/10 ten minutes apart after on sale. He got his shipping notice yesterday. Mine showed shipping 5/13-5/27 and no activity.
So while we are eating I'm like lets go by Maxfield - the only retailer selling the Watch and see what the deal is there since of course I'm bummed my watch is long from shipping.
So check this out. At the table next to us a guy leans over and says I hear you talking about the Watch at Maxfield and is literally wearing one. He said he went Wednesday and waited 4 hours but got a watch same day #! So of course I'm like "we are there!".
So we get to the store and sure enough I get the last "ticket" for today after a 5 minute wait. They tell me that when I come back I will either have a choice of whatever is available today or that I can preorder and it will get here to the store in a day or two - unlike the Apple website - they "say".
So of course I'm stoked and I'm like I just one upped my buddy ha ha!
So I'm home now and guess what... Seriously.
I check my email and... A notice from my bank of a charge from... Drum roll please... Apple! My frickin preorder was now PREPARING FOR SHIPMENT! Lol!!
This is all too weird! Btw I had a German pancake for breakfast.. While at home now feeling overwhelmed having my real watch shipping at any second and waiting for my store appointment - a neighbor comes by and says "I made breakfast - I'm like I already ate - she's like its German pancakes with Apple"... Literally freaking about the Apple part and all the coincidences! All too weird!
The moral of the story - at least it's feeling to me that the bottleneck in THIS model has or is easing so all of you waiting on the 42 SS Black sport may see some action --- finally...
Now what do I do with this ticket of opportunity at Maxfield?!?

will do! I also ordered a classic buckle and received PFS for that as well but canceled it
It was weird I had my bank's fraud protection call me and thats how i found out my order went thru. I then called apple and let them know i approved because for some reason it didn't get fixed on the website. The rep proceeded to let me know that they took $1 out then took out the full payment. She said that it wasn't shipping for another 2-4 weeks. I called BS because I haven't seen that happen to anyone after receiving a PFS notice. It seems some apple reps know a lot and other know very little
Same, no update on my Milanese Loop either. I ordered both at the same time but they are showing up as separate orders for me
So, is the fact that Apple tried to charge me at 2:00pm today and it failed, but I called and gave them a different card at 3:00 (which went through) going to effect when my order switches to preparing for shipment? Of course nothing is for certain, just curious. Sorry if this was answered elsewhere, late to the thread and still getting caught up.
c'est vrai
This is entirely true. Some of the Apple reps seem to be able to do more than read a computer screen. Either this or some are just lazy. Others seem to go that extra mile and be helpful.

I hope not!
I got bitten by this on my order and it's driving me insane, I don't know if it held me up or not, nobody at Apple customer service will say for sure and I'm just stuck in "Processing." Maybe you got it fast enough, good luck!
42 MM SGBSB XX:06:05 in South Florida.

Of course. Think about it. The Watch on sale is totally handled online and of course that's forcing a huge percentage of customers to call in to follow up. I've noticed that it seems they are unfortunately outsourcing (if they were before now it's obvious) and your getting exactly what you'll read on the WEB VERSION of the Apple Store order status page.
Some of you may not notice that the App does NOT have the latest on your order.. Go to the WEB link to check

As an FYI. I had to recently update my payment and add gift cards to my order. I was afraid it would change my status etc. mine is preparing for shipment and my card minus the gift cards was charged.
I really think it has more to do with the model you ordered vs payment methods

Yeah I haven't seen much action for these. I have one too and got a confirmation at xx:13. I'm hoping next week is our time to get some action!
42mm SS with Black Classic Buckle preparing for shipment.
Order on 4/10 at around 4:30AM CST.

That's for sure. I'd bet status changes on the next update. It's not going to be long now
One thing is certain it seems a HUGE amount of orders moved to Preparing for shipment today of styles that have sat there since the 24th.
Why? Because people that ordered the same style I did but 5 minutes earlier all moved to shipping yesterday late in the day and got confirmation last night. They are arriving for delivery in California Monday
Sorry... I forgot I had it in there.

Forgot it was in there.

Dude, you are asking for trouble!!! You have way took much info on your screenshot!!
Thanks I know that, I forgot it was in there, I've already been told by two other people it was a bad thing to do xD
