I have been out of town and saw this morning that BB finally has iW8C SS.
I went to a local BB and asked about exchanging the Milanese loop with a leather link loop they have on sale. I was told they would not do this because the band is bundled with the watch.
This happened to me last year when I ordered on day of launch from a local Apple store. They complained, but traded a Milanese loop for either a leather link or braided loop. The process was not easy due to the watch and band being linked with the s/n.
Is there any chance the local Apple store would do this again with the iW purchased from BB?
On 9/9/22, I did a custom order with the leather link that I wanted. However, now that BB has SS I cancelled that order.
BB benefits for me: $200 trade-in after iW8 arrives; tax exempt; free Apple Care.
