Just in time for holiday rush!!!! Amazing!
... I'm sure they will sell out before black friday!
Another Hermes.
I get excited - briefly - when I see Steel in stock, then it's the $1000+ watch. smh
It's less than an hour from me, but I have a SB SS coming in the mail from Target tomorrow, so I'm going to pass. Still, it's weirdly tempting lol
Maybe a stretch, if you're near the Bridgeton, Missouri Target, they show a 44MM Gold SS in stock.

So with Apple now showing a November 12th date for SS watches at all stores, I wonder if there’s any point in checking iStockNow anymore. It could be Apple saying “there won’t be any in stock until 11/12”.
I would keep checking. Looks like they’re coming in stories now for pickup.
Awesome!! I was able to snag a SS milanese 44m! Now I can cancel the Hermes order!!!
Towson, MD has one, with the Milanese band.
Eh, if it wasn't a foogy, misty mess today, I'd actually might consider this 220 mile round trip.

Yeah, I'll keep checking. It's like a slow trickle coming into random stores. I HAVE to think at least one of the stores near me will have something before 11/12.

I was just able to nab one from the Apple Store near me in the Detroit area! It's the black SS. My first time with a black stainless Apple Watch and I would have preferred another silver, but I guess beggars can't be choosers.
In my haste to grab the SS watch, i hit the wrong button... soooo if you need a SBSS I just canceled (Novi, MI)

I just grabbed the SS Milanese 44mm from Novi Apple store, is that the store you were looking at?

It could be Apple saying "Quit calling our stores asking about stock!"
I admit, I've done this about 5 times last week. When I see IStock not showing stock, yet some people can walk in and find one. I will call just to make sure.
I grabbed the 44mm SBSS Sport Band version from Novi which went up a few minutes before the Milanese. A silver SS 44mm went up for Novi as well, but it was Milanese and, in addition to not being thrilled about spending the extra $100, I was scared off by all the recent reports that the OEM Milanese bands are scratching the SS watches.
Really?! I'll have to look up the reports about the scratches...
welp, guess I'll be wearing the sports band with it!

I didn't mean to scare you! Enjoy the watch and the Milanese band. It is a beautiful combination and I'm sure you'll be fine.
Nabbed the S4 SS Milanese Loop that popped up at Christiana Mall in Delaware. I’ll be picking it up this afternoon! My delivery date for my online order was Nov 7th. Just made my Monday a lot better
Definitely popping up around southern New England this morning. Mostly with the Milanese loop but I did see a SBSS with the sport band.

I may not have been reading carefully, but I had the impression that it was the DLC black-coated version that was scratching the back of the watch, not the gold or bare stainless? That made sense to me, because the coating on the SB loop would be harder than the bare stainless (and probably whatever's used for the gold coating, probably PVC but not DLC).

Haha, I JUST saw that...you lucky lucky man!! I literally blinked and it was gone. 21 minutes in and then gone! THAT drive I could have done.
Slight hope...I guess, these are creeping up north towards the Philly, South Jersey area, but man I snooze I lose.
A big plus with this - 0% Tax!
Congrats,

I remember from 2015, these Milanese loops were scratching those original SS watches. I had one on my Apple Sport at the time and just removed it, the mesh at times was rubbing against the sides..no damage thankfully.
