Can't say that I noticed if they did or not, but call them on 0207 447 1200.
They're quite happy to let you know what they do and do not have in stock.
Got a tip for us?

Not a chance I'm afraid, that's the most popular model! You'll have to wait until July I think...
Jaja ok...i ordered it online in Uk store three days ago and people who ordered one 11 minutes after the pre-releases start haven't received theirs yet...so, bad luck. And with these facts, i don't know how tim cook said last week that apple will be ready to launch the watch in more countries(i suppose Spain, my country, will be included) in Late june.. With late summer delivery date???#
It's too late, DSM is out of stock. And we don't know when SG watches will ever return in stock. Could be weeks.

I would love to, but 1 watch per customer unfortunately...

Are they back to that policy now? At my first appointment (a couple of days after they started) it was one per customer, then on my next appointment (a week or so later) I was allowed to buy two.
Yeah, they instigated that policy from the 27th of April I believe.
DSM has really struggled with the AW launch. I have no doubt that they have made some money from the sales, but I would be interested to know what their internal analysis of the situation is otherwise. I doubt that they attracted many new customers through the launch, and many of their existing customers were clearly annoyed by the whole debacle when I visited the store. The store manager on one particular day was struggling to cope with the whole situation, and dealt with some scalpers in an unnecessarily and publicly aggressive manner (as well as making comments that I, and they, interpreted to be racist).
I still do not understand why Apple has chosen to make the watch available in some specific stores ahead of launching it in their own stores, let alone before pre-orders could be fulfilled. Yes, Apple wants the device to be fashionable, and making it available for sale in such stores therefore makes sense, but IMO they should not have received stock ahead of Apple's own stores.
(I'm still happy to have my watch, just confused as to the way this has all played out).
Edit: If I was one of Apple's authorised resellers I would be pretty annoyed about the boutiques too.
In terms of selfridges, do you then have to take it back to selfridges if there's an issue or can it go to any Apple Store? I'm down in London most likely on Thursday, but as I'm not there that often wouldn't want to then be forced back into London if I had an issue with it..
The Selfridges store operates as a regular Apple Store so I would imagine you could return to any Apple Store

Yeah if I get chance (and can still squeeze a trip in) I might ring them Thursday lunch, see what they have going and clarify.
Just picked up a 42 SG BSB from Dover Street Market, apparently they had a BIG shipment of pretty much just these the other day. You have to book an appointment 24hrs in advance still but nobody else was in there booking any just now...
They also have some t-shirts that look like something your nan would use to do the dusting for £250 if anyone's interested.

Yes I think so but you have to book the appointment in person. You also can't reserve the model you want... you'd have to chance they hadn't sold out.
The whole thing is pretty odd if you're a normal person used to normal shops.
No and you can't even get someone to do it for you, they ask to see photo id. It is pretty ridiculous but at least beats scalpers I guess.
