So, my girlfriend ordered her 38mm sport with white strap on the evening of the 11th, and her ship time was 'June'. Fast forward to yesterday, and her order is 'preparing for shipment', no charges yet though. Today, she gets the EOD, but minutes later, her card is charged, and she then gets email notification that her order has shipped and will arrive tomorrow. Interesting...
 
First message, received yesterday...

Looks like Apple is holding back on the supply artificially (as far as web order delivery estimate goes) to create appearance of scarcity to drive sales...

Perhaps OR maybe this is a result of cancellations :confused:
 
It seems like some Sport models are moving quickly now but the SG models are all kinds of gummed up.
