can we please stop debating the validity and value of apple's retail strategy re: Maxfield? It comes up once a day and sidetracks from those who actually care about receiving, ordering, and tracking inventory at maxfield, etc.
amen!

I ordered my 42 SG BSB with them yesterday and they told me 2-3 days. Hope that helps!
I just got my call for 42mm SS BSB! One day wait! Woot woot!
Don't be silly. Apple will obviously replace it if that happens.
Did you receive the call yet?

Congrats, when did you ordered?
Still haven't gotten a call yetHopefully later tonight or tomorrow.
Anyone else waiting for 42mm SG?
sorry if this has been answered already but can you pre-order over the phone or do you have to walk in to pre-order? My order thru Apple is currently at June for delivery but Maxfields seems to be a couple of days. I live in Orange Country and would prefer to not have to drive up to Maxfields twice. thanks in advance,

You have to go in person. Does anyone know how early you have to get there to get an appointment? And does anyone know what today's stock was/is?
I wonder if they'll have anything else in stock when I pick up my orders tonight.

Ask them about 42mm SS WSB for me please? Ask if they have any and/or when was the last shipment that they got some.
If only it didn't take an hour and a half to drive 15 miles in Los Angeles during rush hour I would pick my watch up today .. Guess since I'm off tomorrow I'll pick it up then. LA traffic is a bitch!

Oh I've no doubt you're right ... but I think Apple should not have done this. They should have opened up the stores to preview and pre-order the watch only for pickup in the stores. That's essentially what's happening now anyway. That way, people wouldn't have been able to walk in off the street and get them, which would deter the scalpers. Lines go away, and the boutique's customers don't get their watches any faster than anybody else, but Maxfield still gets their cut. This way, Apple gets the Maxfield customers they set out to get, who are introduced to the watch during the course of their normal shopping routine. Mayfield's entire business is not turned upside down, and Maxfield still sells the watches to the customers they were intended for, and makes a profit.
The way Apple did it, they just displaced their early adopter super fans from one camp-out line to another, made the lines worse, and sent two completely different demographics clashing with each other.
Has anyone gotten a call tonight for something that they pre-ordered? The reason I am asking is it seems like the people that pre-ordered the Milanese and SS black sports bands all got calls last night that their orders were in and that was all that was available today.
My brother just sent me this text from going to Maxfield after work. Has anyone else experienced this?
