Can someone explain how to track by reference? The MacRumors post says to use the phone number, but I've read it can be a mix of order number and phone number.
 
Delivery Dates 4/24-5/8

Ordered my 38mm SG and got my confirmation email @ 3:03 am est ....still no movement...never have I wanted to have a company take my money so bad lol
 
Just got off the phone with Apple. They said there was a glitch in their status system that set everyone's order to preparing for shipment. Recheck your orders guys.

I'm highly skeptical of that. The rep likely has no idea what they're talking about. Mine still says Preparing for Shipment.

In any case, what probably is happening with orders switching from Preparing back to Processing is the fact Apple has tons of servers. When you have that many servers, it takes awhile to fully propagate the data. So on one refresh you could hit the server that has your latest info, but on another you might be seeing older data. Keep that in mind.

The reps have no clue though, as it has been repeatedly proved over the last couple of weeks...

They claimed that there would be 2 complete bands in the box (4 Parts), but there's actually only 3, for example.
 
Anyone in the UK got an order status change yet? I ordered a space grey 42mm at 8.02 gmt so hope to be in the first batch but getting more depressed with every refresh #

UK-based order for 38mm SS black sports band, order in at 8:05 GMT, nothing yet :-(

Well for one he said PROBABLY and two he wasn't saying that you're lying. He said that the reps sometimes don't know everything..I mean look at everyone making jokes about drinking whenever someone says a rep said anything haha 😛
