So yeah. They do have a ton of models available. All 38 including the Milanese and other stainless steels. No 42. he did tell me he can get me in right away if I was interested. Declined since it doesn't quite work for me. Want a 42 SS. Oh well.
 
I can actually give you some real info on Maxfields (phily guy, look away).

My childhood friend works there as a sales person. I walked it today, she took me back, had a 10 min conversation with main manager. They have tons of sport (space gray and otherwise), some 38 mm SS, and no 42 mm SS at the moment. I was told 42 mm ML ~1 week wait, 42 mm classic band about 1 month 42 mm WSB a few days. And absolutely no movement on link bands of either color. So, walked out with 42 mm ML order. Hope she calls me by Friday :)

thanks for the info!
 
Hah! This just gets more and more comedic.

This was literally my call:

Me: I was planning on coming in around 6:30 to preorder/buy a watch.
MF: We're not taking anymore appointments today.
Me: Is there a line/queue?
MF: No
Me: But you have watches in stock.
MF: Yes, we have plenty in stock.
Me: So, you're saying you have watches in stock and no one in line, but I can't walk in and buy one?
MF: Yes, but you can try lining up tomorrow.

I think I just lost some brain cells.
My thought is that they intentionally shut off watch sales early so as to not get a big rush after work that could interfere with their normal product sales and customer base. Also may help control the backlog of orders they place and process.

Not saying it is right, but just a thought.
 
by the way, why didn't you go with BSB if it seemed as a faster option?

I preordered 42 SG and received it last week. After 2 days, SB started staining, peeling, etc. Also, I realized sport was not for me. SG looks more like Fitbit than a real watch (not trying to start a war here, just IMHO). So, I sold SG on CL last week. Now waiting for SS.

yes, thanks, that sounds very convincing

Any info on the 42mm SS BSB?
 
So my cousin basically gave up going for me after going twice and being turned away. He's a stand in on set so he basically works all day. Found someone on ebay who wants $670 to order and ship a watch for me from Maxfields.
I hate Apple right now.

If you hate Apple, don't buy a watch.

Which Watch?
 
Hey! So I went to Maxfield today and this is what I found out. I went at 1pm, there was only one person in line, and got an appointment for 2:20pm. When I asked what they had in stock the man booking the appointments was very vague. He eventually said that they only had 38mm Milanese and 42mm Sport with blue band but assured everyone that more stock was coming soon and they could fulfill orders faster than Apple. I wanted 42mm SG so I preordered an am hoping to get a call soon to pick it up! Also they only make appointments till around 5:30pm for some reason. All the security guards were very nice, as well as super patient with everyones questions. Hope this helps! :)
