Couldn't have said it better myself. This is pretty ridiculous. I'm wondering if I should take a shot at getting to the local Apple Store on Friday AM as they are likely to have a few of each to sell on "launch day" (they obviously already have enough for each store to demo!) - then if I get one then - cancel my online pre-order. What do you all think?

have you NOT been following this forum/site or any other apple news outlet AT ALL?

you go right ahead and head to apple friday morning..... :rolleyes:

Its already been confirmed before that there will be NONE available on launch day in stores.
 
8.02am May 12th-26th and my SS with link hasn't moved at all whilst June orders are getting processed. Something isn't right here.

It's those damn link bracelets I tells ya! There I go, trying to get a techie watch with a bit of a classic look, and those youngins with their hippity hopster music and their fancy white bands get theirs first. This country is going down the tubes.
 
Ordered (2) 42 mm ss with white sports bands on order day shortly after site was up and my order said delivery would be 5-13 to 5-27 but checked my order status a few hours ago and said preparing for shipment and I have pending charges on my cc for the 2 watches.
 
Mines finally changed to preparing for shipment
Been stalking this forum all day hoping for a change

Hi
Anyone with a updated status for the leather loop models? I ordered the SS 42mm with the brown leather loop at 09:03 german time :)
 
Anyone waiting on a 42mm SS Leather Loop?
I feel very much in the minority.

I am, I think we're hosed on anything for the next few days at least. I agree that we are in the minority though! With our orders going straight to the 4-6 week group it doesn't seem likely to happen this week...:confused:

Looks like they have loads of white band sports to shift at the moment! If only they had thought more then 30 people might have liked the space grey
 
Holy crap I was just trying to figure out where to post the same thing! It just dawned on me "hey, I'm dropping a frigging grand on a watch, and they can't even have any of the damn things in stock and the $350 watches get priority"? No offense meant to those that aren't/can't drop the cash on the mid-priced watch, until about a year ago I wouldn't have been able to either. But this blows that none of the $500+ watches are moving.

What a childish statement. I ordered the sport model because I liked the look, not because I couldnt afford it.
 
Any 42 milanese US order updated? I've seen a couple from UK that are now preparing for dispatch.

I'm still waiting on mine to update. I ordered in the first ten minutes. 2 minutes before I placed my order I had the earliest estimated shipping time then by the time I put the order through it changed to the May estimate.

Haven't seen too many US milanese loop models being sent out. Fingers crossed that we get some action over the next day or so!
 
Guys just after a bit of guidance, first time i have ever ordered online, usually que at store.

Ordered 10/4 8.03 email 8.11

4 -6 weeks dispatch 12th - 26th May UK order

About an hour ago, the charge went on my debit card...

I wondered when i could expect preparing dispatch status?

42mm Milanese

Cheers

Yeah same with me, by the time I placed my order confirmation was May estimate.

I came this close to getting the Milanese but ended up going with the leather instead. Looks like I'm going to pay the price for that decision because none of those are changing status.

Congrats though!
 
Cmon apple I see these 42mm SS w/ white sport bands shipping, let's move on to 38mm SS w/ black sport bands and throw mine on a truck for Friday delivery. :D

The classic leather? Those were "launch" estimate for a long time, if that's the case I'm surprised people are not seeing any updates.

Hmm not too sure how real that is lol We got one person here who just posted that their charge just got applied for their milanese loop so maybe there is some hope!
