What do you think are my odds? I ordered a navy Modern Buckle on April 10th. Haven't gotten it yet. My original ship date simply said "June." But over the course of the last two weeks or so, my shipping times have changed continuously.
May 15th: changed to 5-6 weeks ship time with delivery between June 22-29
May 21st: changed to 2-3 weeks ship time with delivery between June 10-16
May 24th: changed to 1-2 weeks ship time with delivery between June 4-11
Yesterday, it changed to 4-6 business days with a delivery between June 4-8.
The point of all this that I work as a flight attendant and start another long trip on June 3rd. What do you guys think are the odds of it shipping earlier and arriving (latest) on the 3rd?
I'd go insane waiting many days overseas until I could get home and finally have it in my hands (and on my wrist)

I think you have a shot potentially.
No, I never had any trouble with this with my old link bracelet. The modern buckle protrudes just enough that it's a problem.
I've also developed a small bruise on my wrist right where one corner of the buckle hits, so I'm wondering if this is also related. It's faded a little now, but it was pretty purple a couple days ago.

No problems with my lt pink one. I've had it for eight days, have worn it all day for six of those, and it's pristine. It's not a porous leather though -- It seems to have some kind of coating on it to make it harder and smoother -- so that helps a lot.
(See my other post about the bruise. Not sure if it's related or not!)

Doesn't hurt at all. I didn't notice it until I took off the blue band I'd bought on Monday, so I guessed it happened earlier that day when I still had the pink band on. I remember a slight pinch when he put the link bracelet on me to try on, but that wasn't the part of my wrist it pinched. No bruise there!
Wow. I ordered black sports SS and got it the launch day April 24th. Decided I wanted modern buckle so ordered it on the 21st MAY and its arriving tomorrow the 29th! Guessing ordering on pre order day didn't make much difference to getting it quicker...
Yeah, I noticed you can now order a SS with MB for delivery in 1-2 weeks, but the band only still lists as unavailable. Arghhh.
That's for sure! I ordered my pink modern buckle on 4/10 and it is still processing. Congrats on getting your new watches. I'm looking forward to mine and hope it gets here soon.
I'm losing faith. I ordered late, but way before some of the ppl who just recently posted and they are getting their watches before me?!?! Apple, you and I gonna have beef. Damnit!
Ordered 4/26 38mm SS midnight blue MB medium. Processing. Window says 6/4-6/11.
I feel like I've lost some excitement because of the extra long wait. Some dude up there ^^ said they ordered on 5/25 and its being shipped to Wilmington, DE tomorrow...that is where I live. What is the problem?? I am officially one of the only people left working in my store without one

Ordered at 1:30 on 4/10 with June availability. Over a week ago it changed to 1-2 weeks, June 4-11 which was really 2-3 weeks at that point. I can't complain because I knew it was June when I pre-ordered, but it is frustrating seeing so many people getting their watches who ordered way after 4/10 and the website has said 1-2 weeks for the past week so I could have ordered it last week or even today and gotten the same shipment estimate. I just wish it would ship. It seems like not many modern buckles shipped this week.

I think it's a color issue. I ordered a medium Midnight Blue MB on 5/21 and my shipping window has been bumped up twice. Started at 2-3 weeks. Moved to 1-2 weeks. Was 6/8-6/15 until tonight. Just bumped to 6/4-6/11.
I suspect they just made a fresh batch of that color.
The black MB watches appear to have shipped faster.
I already have a watch but plan to return mine for the MB. My last return date is 6/4, so let's hope ours go to PFS tonight.
I'm east coast, same as you. I think these are coming from outside the U.S. They show as 2-3 day shipping. The watches inside the U.S. show as Standard.

That's true. I think these are batched by color, too. I'm sure they have the cases. It's the bands they didn't have.
My pink modern buckle 38mm came on Thursday 28 May. Ordered on April 27 with an initial July delivery. I'm in Australia.
That's great! I'm glad you're enjoying it.
I have an identical bruise! Not quite as bad as yours. I have exactly the same watch (38mm modern buckle) noticed it yesterday having had my watch for about a week. The buckle doesn't seem to touch my wrist there so I don't understand how it is causing it!
