42mm SS Milanese Preorders with 5/13 - 5/27 Delivery

rorystewart said:
On a whim I posted the watch on CL for $1,100 and ironically I regret it. Almost immediately I had someone email me saying they want to buy it tomorrow and asked me where I want them to meet. After the sales tax I paid that's close to a $350 profit if I sell. The 42 SS MIL is exactly the model I want. Apple store shows July shipping for this model.

So because of the economic principle of opportunity cost I've now put myself in the position where I have to decide if I want to pay $350 for the privilege of having the watch now instead of waiting two months. My mind's telling me no, but my body, my body, is telling me yes! :/ What should I do...

Why did you create a whole thread if you posted this here? Do what you must. I would never sell my watch.

Getting it tomorrow :)
 
I just noticed that they are shipping UPS Next Day. That is very nice of :apple:

I did notice though that my separate order for Black Sports Band which was originally set to deliver in May has slipped to June 1.
 
So it seems orders that happened as late as xx:45 are shipping, which is excellent. Seems almost exponential, probably because Apple has gotten over the first wave of shipments. Hopefully my 4 AM order happens this week!!
 
Pfs

Status Change to PFS ~10:40PM EDT, card charged
Order Confirmation: 4:05AM ET
Shipping to Washington, DC

Thanks all for posting status.

Thanks dude, we all paid for and therefore deserve watches, just funny when it takes so long to take our money.



What part of UK you in? Going that way later this year (hopefully with something on my wrist).

I am about 2 hours south west of London, it's a little more rural than the likes on the hustle and bustle of London.

You here for Business?

Lol thought of him too when I was reading that.

----------

If they're just getting past day one orders, and the "second wave" is 30-1hr past initial preordering, then my 4/22 order is forever away...

Mine is getting delivered today. It's on the truck out for delivery.
Today is also trash day so I'm going through sensory overload with all these trucks going up and down the street. :confused:

Ha! I can relate...every truck triggers the thought "is that my shiny new gadget??"

I ordered on 4/10 at 6:00 am eastern, no progress on my order at all :(
 
Update!!!

Finally Charged for Apple care and the Watch at 10:42PM yesterday :)

Status shows "Preparing for Shipment" Hope i get it before end of the day tomorrow

ordered 4/10 4:20am (I don't know why i thought it was 4:10am before)
 
I'm at 6:40am EST. These later orders getting fulfilled is giving me hope that I'll see some movement soon.

No idea. Noticed the status to PFS last night (5/6) at 10:45pm ET, still nothing from UPS My Choice, and still PFS as of 11:00am ET 5/7.
 
Changed to preparing to despatch
Order confirm was xx:21 in the UK

Hope everyone gets theirs soon
 
Shipped :)

Charged for Apple care and the Watch at 10:42PM 5/6/15 :)

Status "Shipped" on May 7th at 2:32pm EST
Nothing on the tracking number yet.

ordered 4/10 4:20am

thank you :apple: for finally taking my money.
 
Still Processing

Ordered my 42mm SS Milanese on 4/10 at 3:22 with a 13th-27th shipping estimate. Has anyone close to that time received any shipping notifications? Ordered the exact same watch but in 38mm for my fiance and received it last Tuesday. I'm guessing there is way more demand for the 42mm version...?
