It would seem bands will be hard to come by for awhile, since it's essentially the supply and demand of bands that is largely creating this mess in the first place... There's no difference between all the 42mm SS watches other than the bands... If you chose the wrong band, you wait, if you chose an unpopular band, then you probably already have your watch.

I certainly would not expect to see BSB available for retail until after all of the outstanding orders of watches bearing that band are fulfilled. Apples entire focus should be on making complete watches at this point, not diverting that manufacturing to making bands alone for accessory sale.

Though do we know what the margin will be on bands relative to that of the watches themselves? Creating demand of two or three sets of bands per watch (assuming most users own only one watch) sounds pretty profitable to me.
 
Please make this lead to good news. I honestly just want to see a charge. Even if my delivery is Wednesday or later, I just want to see a charge

I actually received my watch on Friday and STILL haven't been charged!! The full amount was pending for a week in my bank account but fell off on Saturday. So strange.
 
still processing

Just had my order time confirmed by an Apple Specialist on chat.

Order is still processing and no CC charge

42MM SG SPORT BLACK SPORT BAND
ORDER TIME 12:04:04 EST

I wish UPS would charge it for me but then rebox it. Lmao. Stoked its here!!! Well in my state but It's about to be a new week they are running out of time your orders will be processed there's no option for it not to unless you cancel it they will always say we said by 5/8 I'm pretty sure we'll never really know how they chose to ship these but either way I'm holding the faith for y'all I truly am.
 
Still waiting here. Had an auth charge appear on my Amex on Thursday but my watch status didn't change. Didn't go into preparing to ship or anything. Yesterday the charge disappeared. So I'm back to waiting.

42 SS BSB - 3:03:25 am EDT confirmation on 4/10 - Georgia - Processing - Received EOD - No UPS tracking
 
Just got charged friends!!! Time stamp was 3:04:11 EST, received EOD after 11 pm on Thurs. Space Gray 42mm sport with black band. Still processing but at least some movement on a Sunday! So there must have been some on those Louisville planes!
 
Just got charged for 42mm SG BSB :04 confirmation and received EOD. BofA of course saw it as suspicious. Had to mark it as non fraudulent in BofA site then go to apple and reprocess the payment. All is well went to preparing for shipping.

Hang in there everyone. I hope everyone gets theirs soon .... Especially the rare pink people :)
 
I never thought I'd see the day but my card was charged and my status has changed to preparing for shipment for my PSB!!!! :D

For those who haven't had any movement I have faith it will soon if the PSB's are finally moving! :)
