Looks like I finally found the thread that's relevant to me!
42mm SS Classic buckle, conf. Email at 3:10a EST. April 10, shipping to northern NJ. Still no charges or updates. Got the EOD 11pm two nights ago. Paid with my Bank of America debit card.
I even called apple yesterday morning and practically begged them to charge me so I wouldn't have to mentally keep deducting the cost of this order when I looked at my account balance and was simply told "it doesn't work like that." No additional info on when I should expect my order was provided either.
Really awesome launch this time around, right guys?

Fun thing about balancesI'm also waiting for the IRS to process their payment, from the same timeframe, as well, so extra math. I never thought that I'd be as confounded with Apple's logistics as I was with the IRS...
Right?? This usually only happens for me when it takes my landlord two weeks to process my rent check...
Edit to OP: forgot to mention that I'm in the 4/24-5/8 delivery window
Still stuck on processing here in the UK too - I'll post in this thread today if I see any movement... 
Texas,
Confirmation order 4/10 3:00amEST,
Delivers 4/28 5/8,
EOD last Wednesday,
42mm SS Classic Buckle,
Processing hell.
Emailed Tim with no luck.
No movement and really getting impatient. At this point I would not be mad if I knew for certain that Monday would be the delivery date. But I know nothing yet and that's what bothers me.
Feels like people are passing you on the line. Wondering if staying up late to make this pre-order and selecting a not so popular model help me in any way, this was supposed to be a model available for launch day (latest of all models to slip in delivery dates on preorder night).
People are getting their watches today even other models and even with later delivery dates. How did Apple decided that we were the ones to leave with a "processing" message on launch day, that is not apple like service, it's bs.
I can deal with the wait but just give it to us straight. a real delivery date and not this ridiculous two week window and we're working on your order email.

This. I would be ok with just knowing a specific date. Hopefully sooner rather than later. What Im not ok with is getting my order in when I did and seeing so many people order the same model as me after I did getting theirs. Yet Apple still swears up and down its first come, first served.
I'm right with you. Granted, I ordered "late" compared to some (3:23am), but I have been seeing people that even ordered this model LATE LAST WEEK with a June window get shipping confirmations for delivery today. That really hacks me off.
Been waiting on my Black Sport which seems to be having no movement and the more of these I am seeing pop up in pics and videos the more I like it.
So I just ordered one of these which has a June date.
My latest estimated date for the sport is May 27th, so if this one shows up June 1st I can just return the sport! Will be hard to have the sport sitting there and not open it while I wait on this one though.

Seems like all the leather-related bands are delayed, with the exception of a small handful of classic buckles. I have a friend who ordered a 38mm Milanese loop and a 38mm modern buckle. The Milanese loop was delivered today and the modern buckle is scheduled for mid May. I haven't seen anything about leather loops being delivered either.
There might be something to this assessment. Also in seeing reports about what went on sale in limited retail venues today, part of me wonders if what might be a limited leather stock was diverted there instead of to preorders. If that were the case, I'd be disappointed.
Also, I'm surprised that they'd underestimate leather demand. If I'm wearing a nicer stainless steel timepiece, I'm not going to want a plastic strip like a fitness band!
42 SS BCB :19 confirmation, 4/24-5/8 quote.
Still processing.
Not sure if I received the EOD cause it went to my work email but I'm going to assume yes.
There was another thread saying that the few who got this model were having an issue with the band sitting flush with the watch casing.
Maybe Apple realized this and are making adjustments which is why the majority of us haven't seen any movement?

I wonder if my "processing items: delivers 4/24 - 5/8" will change to 4/25-5/8 in 9 minutes...
wouldn't that be exciting?

42mm SS BCB here, +25 min confirmation email on 4/10, no communications from Apple other than the EOD since. Still "processing"... Looks from other posts like Apple has leather band supply issues for the 42mm line, so this may push into the month of May y'all.
