3:01am eastern US confirm. No movement

Like several others, I got a confirming email about my 3:01 order of a SS Milanese loop. Separate 3:03 order for wife on sports band has moved. Thanks for the forum....at least I don't feel alone.
 
Ordered at :03, along with extra charging cable and two sport bands.

CC was charged yesterday around 5CDT and went to preparing to ship right after.

In Iowa City, IA.
 
Anticipation Sucks. Should've been 12:03 but had to do the dressing thing which pushed me out to 07. Nothing here
 
8:51 AM EST on 4/21 and still "processing" on a 42mm SS Milanese Watch ordered at 3:05 AM EST on 4/10 from the Apple Store App with the 4/24-5/8 shipping window... I know a ton of people who ordered the exact same thing at the exact same time and got billed as well as "preparing shipment" confirmation.
 
Anyone in Australia have any movement to report? Bloody Tuesday night here now & nothing. No charge to my CC (Commonwealth Bank) No change in the status.

I was in the "first wave"
 
42 Milanese is Preparing for Shipment.
This status change happened yesterday afternoon. No tracking # yet.

In Arkansas. Order Confirmation at 12:02 am PDT 4/10.

Debit card charged around 1:00 pm PDT yesterday (4/20) and switched from Processing to Preparing for Shipment a little while later.

Hoping to get a shipping email today...

Hey man you're lucky, you already know for a fact yours is shipping on Friday with that info...

Some of us still have successful first batch pre-orders of the 42mm SS Milanese hanging on "Processing"... :/
 
3:07am Eastern... 42 SS milanese... Visa... Apple store app. No movement. #
 
There was something like 2.3 million watches sold over the weekend. That's a lot to get through. I'm sure we will see some progress, it's only Tuesday morning.
 
Just in the last 5 minutes, I have noticed Apple have charged my debit card $1 again. The $1 was originally on my card not long after I had pre-ordered, but it disappeared yesterday. Some movement maybe ...

Sydney, Australia here. 11:33pm (Tuesday night)
42mm SS Milanese Loop
 
i was a 3:07 confirm, no movement yet. My friend was a 3:02 and his milanese is preparing for shipment.
 
I think it can also be where we are located and where the watch is coming from. Im in Savannah, GA and when I ordered iPhone 6, it didn't prepare to ship until Wed night and it got to me on launch day.

Ordered 42 SS Milanese at 3:05 EST. At 9:36, still no charge or movement.
 
Ordered 42mm SS Milanese, received confirmation at 3:04am EST. Still processing :( located in Tampa
 
Talked to Apple about "Processing Items"

I just checked with Apple about my order. Placed 4/10 3:01 am EST email confirmed order at 3:05am.

The rep looked at my order and all is fine. I explained my local bank is shutting down on-line tonight from 9pm - 12am, what if Apple tries to hit the debit card at that time?

I was told don't worry, Apple will try multiple times throughout the day/night to pull the money out before stopping. They don't just cancel an order due to a bank problem.

The rep also said that more than likely my card will get hit today and my 42mm SS Watch with Milanese loop should still arrive on Friday. They also added text update to my phone when the order changes. :D

I think today is the "Big" processing day. Yesterday was Apple warming up.:cool:

I hope you are right... If they are doing a fixed # per day and they got 4 minutes worth done yesterday, then they should at least loop me in before Friday.
