I placed my order for a Graphite 45mm with midnight sport band. Got delivery date of Nov 2-9 and this was at 0810 EDT (10 minutes after going live). Would’ve sooner but the site was congested.

I think I tried every combination afterwards for 45mm and nothing came in with an October delivery date. Best I saw was for an Aluminum model Nov 1-8. 41mm however were available with October delivery dates.

This whole S7 process seems like a giant mess. Anyone get a 45mm with a delivery date before November?

I had the option of launch day delivery or in store pick up for my 45mm SBTi. Went with ISPU.
 
I got 10/15 with in store pick up. 45mm Nike Midnight with Anthracite/Black Nike Sport Band.
 
I ordered one 8:02 initially shoes delivery Oct 15th. Confirmation email showed Oct 25th -Nov 1st. Cancelled the order.
placed a new one for the Nike version a few hours later for a pickup at 5th Avenue on launch day. I have a 3 day layover on a trip so I’ll walk into Manhattan and pick it up. I have a few bands to swap out so the Nike version doesn’t bother me. Seems that some stock is very limited. I ordered within 2 minutes and it wasn’t available.

I placed the order around 8:06 am (as I was ordering through the studio collection) and got the confirmation email at 8:09am.

WTH??? Lol. I wasn’t even seeing options for in-store pickup either, which I prefer to do. It just said currently unavailable, for every configuration and all stores nearby. Still says it now.
 
Anyone from the UK get a 15 October delivery? Particularly those who didn’t opt for a standard sports band?
 
Actually, I’m now wondering is it has something to do with the Military/Veterans discount. Maybe giving the full paying customers first dibs. Fair trade off I suppose.
 
UK based here and went for SS Silver with leather link - no delivery available until late October so I went for in store pickup on 15/10.

order confirmation email received at 1303 so supplies must have been tight

Ordered mine for in story delivery this morning and will pick it up on Saturday the 16th. I do have to go to a location about 85 miles away. Local store was out. Oh well. Road trip. I like to get the Bimmer out on the highway occasionally and have some fun listening to my Harmon Kardon audio system.

I don’t get how everyone is getting the option for in store pickup. I live within 30 miles of about 10 Apple stores (25 mins North of NYC) and every store said unavailable for pickup lol.
 
I got a Nike 45 Mightnight for in-store pick-up on Oct 15. Glad I made it for the launch day window. I have a Red S6, but want a black watch again for work and going out. Will use the S6 for workouts.
 
I ordered this morning and got Nov 2 to 9 but I got the stainless steel 45mm. It’s fine for me though, I’m going on a trip next week and won’t be back in the USA until around that time anyway.

Also keep in mind Apple often delivers early. My iMac also came in 2 weeks before it’s supposed due date. Apple likes to underpromise and overdeliver.

SBSS 45mm Hermes Rouge/Noir delivers 10-25
I just canceled my Graphite SS in favor of an Hermes SBSS 45mm Noir Swift Single Tour. Pushed my date back to Nov 15-22. Oh well, I just miss SBSS too much lol. Was never a huge fan of my current SBTi S6. Only did it to protest the removal of SBSS for Graphite. I really showed them, eh? Lol

Ok now I’m regretting making this thread lol. Not one store within 50 miles of NYC showed and in store pickup this morning for me. Playing around with the Configurator now and still nothing showing for in store pickup for anything. Which NYC store? I have 12 stores showing up in my immediate area and nothing.

Hermes has this on their website. They ship on 10-15 per their reps. I am right with you about the SBSS. This is my 3rd time getting the Hermes and i had the Hermes SS once, but when i saw SBSS i just love it And don’t want SS again! Look how nice it looks with my dark cherry braided band here
