Any Modern Buckle Progress? Charges,preparing for shipment?

Nothing. Should have bought plastic and later the modern buckle.
Ordered 2 minutes after opening 4/10. In Processing.

Mine is a 42MM SS with Classic Buckle. It's in preparing to ship with tracking by reference showing delivery tomorrow but nothing from Apple. My CC was charged.

I don't think they would have moved it to preparing to ship and created a label if they didn't have any.

It is possible they were delayed though. Maybe they were expecting them, and didn't get them?

um i think we're talking about "modern buckles" here?
 
I dont see 42SS modern buckle options for either the watch or the band itself? So these can't be ordered anymore?
 
I ordered a 38mm SS Modern Buckle (Brown) (12:03am) and really don't mind waiting for it, which is good because I took an impromptu trip to London. I would have been sad to have missed the delivery.
 
well i know that we'll all get our watches EVENTUALLY, but it just kind of stinks seeing people who placed their orders later than us got their watches already:mad:
 
My wife got 38mm SS with soft pink modern buckle - still processing - 5/13-5/27 - confirmation 2:04am central time

I got 42mm Space Black SS w/link - still processing - 5/13-5/27 - confirmation 2:03am central time

No charges or pending charges on either. :(
 
Soft pink modern buckle, still processing, May 12th window, got confirmation email 4 minutes after the start of pre orders.
 
I ordered a soft pink modern buckle at 3:06 am. I just find it very hard to believe they didn't make any?!?! Also concerning is that they are the ONLY bands listed on the store as "currently unavailable." You can't even buy one for June. Also most stores didn't get many for try on. My store had one small one that couldn't buckle in my wrist.

Maybe email Tim Cook voicing your concerns? I already have. :)

I found that peculiar, too. The flagship store in WA State (Bellevue - the only store with the Edition) only had the small Modern Buckle, which is just absolutely tiny.
 
I bet its the NASA fabric layered between the leather to prevent stretching. The classic buckle and leather loop do not have that. I would have gladly paid more for a man's version of the modern buckle because I think the fabric will actually increase durability. All my leather Tag watch bands need to be replaced around 2 years because they stretch at the posts. I didn't replace the bands or get the mechanical watches serviced this year and gave my money to Apple instead.
 
No movement here either guys. Ordered brown modern buckle with confirmation email at 5:12pm (ordered in Australia [preorders opened at 5pm]). Feeling sad seeing friends receiving early shipments yesterday. A friend received a 42mm Space Black SS with Black Link Bracelet but was originally quoted June when he ordered :eek:

I really want to know why the modern buckle is unavailable to order as a separate strap ATM as well...

only six people have listed modern buckles out of over 300 on ordertracker.me so I guess it really is one of the least popular. I am betting I won't see mine until at least May 13.

The modern buckle is great, and I want one, but when they weren't available launch day, I ordered another band. Now I can't even order the modern buckle, because the stand-alone band is currently unavailable in the online store. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people weren't looking to pick one up later but hedged their bets by not ordering it out of the gate due to supply constraints.
 
No sense, exquisite taste, bad karma...

My guess is my watch will arrive on 5/19 when I'm having a tooth implant completed along with attending a lecture my hubby's giving.
