42 MM SS Milanese June Orders
- Thread starter AHMN

- Sort by reaction score
I've had some movement on my 42mm SS with Milanese Loop this afternoon/evening.
I ordered it at 8am on 11th April, and my status had been changed to show the 22nd - 29th June delivery that a lot of people have been seeing.
It has now updated to "Preparing for Dispatch" and the delivery date has been amended to show 17th - 24th June, although with it going to PFD today, I guess I will be getting it before then! Fingers crossed!
Hope others will start to see movement on theirs too!
Status has now changed to "Dispatched" within the last hour or so. No email or any other details yet, but the Apple Store App is showing as dispatched today!
Very nice- Congrats!!
Hope 4/11 continues moving
Thanks! here is the watch face....for the time being...lol

OK, scrap that. Dispatch email received. Delivers 26th May via UPS!
Well guys i'm signing off. I appreciate everyone for the words of encouragement. Would have driven myself crazy having to wait without the forums (misery loves company). For those still waiting it is worth the wait! Hopefully yall will get them before they hit the stores! See yall next new product launch
Just got the 42 mm Milanese Loop in NYC
Make sure you talk to someone. Just bought the 42mm Milanese Loop at the UWS Apple Store in Manhattan. I checked the 5th Avenue Store first, but then decided to walk over to the UWS store. They only had the Sports Bands out on the floor. I asked an employee if he knew if or when they might get the Milanese Loop bands he; he told me to wait, called someone and they brought it out. He said they were only keeping sports bands on the floor.
Strange model for selling, but glad I asked. Shipping time from the website was still end of June.

Noticed that after you responded. Sorry everyone
Just wanted to get the word out about what was needed to try and get the bands earlier.

No worries
Holy ****. This is happening. We are finally up to 4/11 on Milanese loop orders!
I did mine late in the evening but we are finally almost there =)
Well Apple changed mine again from 4-6 to 4-5 weeks. Soon enough it'll be 2-3 weeks. I hope you see change in your order soon as well.
Same shipping dates but I ordered on 4/11.
No others have gone out that I've seen.
Middle of June is blocked out for any shipping dates. If you didn't get it now then its automatically end of June. Almost seems like Apple just wanted to get 4/10 orders complete and then something causes a month gap.Still hope for movement before then!

Perhaps most of June is being used to start stocking the stores. Tim Cook said they would be available in-store "by June".
so if a 42 SS show up in store b4 I get mine (ordered on 4/23 ) I will cancel my on line order and buy in store.
Same here but hope that's not the case. Otherwise the entire pre-order/waiting process was pointless.so if a 42 SS show up in store b4 I get mine (ordered on 4/23 ) I will cancel my on line order and buy in store.
Of course I know Apple can do whatever they want though.
I am betting in the next 2-3 weeks we are going to see a lot more dates get pushed up. Apple will still sell the watch (possibly the last week of June) because by that point all other orders would be good. With what 90+% of the pre-orders being on April 10th the rest of us should go quick once they have moved on.
I ordered at Mid day on the 13th May and my order status is:
Processing Items Dispatched: 1-2 weeks
Delivery: 22 May, 2015 - 29 May, 2015 by Standard Shipping

I am expecting to see my card charged Tuesday or Wednesday for delivery on Friday. If it comes Friday it would be 16 days including a bank holiday between order and received which isn't bad. I hold my breath tho it does arrive this week. IF I don't get changed by Thursday and the status doesn't change I will give apple a call to check for a update.
Time to cancel and reorder?
It is clear that Apple does not value its pre-order customers. Many of us on this thread ordered on April 11 (more than 6 weeks ago) and our orders say they will ship in 5 to 6 weeks. If you cancel that order and place a new one today, your shipping time will decrease to 4 to 5 weeks. I know many of you will speculate there is some legitimate explanation, but I'm here to tell you this is actual fact. Cancel your 5 to 6 weeks order and your new order for the exact same watch will show delivery in 4 to 5 weeks instead of 5 to 6 weeks. Or, cancel your order and you'll probably be able to buy one in a store sooner, as this is what Tim Cook says. Apple is really losing some customer loyalty on this one.

Might be because it's Sunday and many of us had our orders change last weekend to give us the dates. The 22-29th is actually 4-5 weeks now as its a week later and they probably just haven't updated the text yet or perhaps are waiting to update it with a more accurate date. Although I do get what you're saying about buying in-store in June, but that hasn't been proven yet.
I'm not sure you're looking at this the right way. The April 11th orders saying they will ship in 5 to 6 weeks, isn't referring to 5-6 weeks from today. It's 5-6 weeks from the date the order was placed. So if you cancel your initial order, the watch that should ship anytime now will be cancelled. Then you order again because you think seeing a 4-5 week ship time is better, and that watch won't ship for 4-5 weeks from the date of the new order (4-5 weeks from now).

This is completely incorrect. First of all for many people it has been more than 4-5 weeks already. Second of all they actually give you a date range. When mine updated a week ago it said June 22-29th with 5-6 weeks. Hoping it will update again soon.
