That 42mm in the last pic looks nice, congrats! I called about my 38mm sg bsb, and she actually spent some time taking a look to see what happened with my order, and came back with "we're still waiting on your watch." Didn't say whether they had a shipment at all on these watches this week. I at least appreciate the time spent. Either way, this preorder is going on the 3rd week now.
Got a tip for us?

Seems like only one person has gotten a 42mm SB Link from Maxfields to date. Seems like the only thing moving the last few days is the sport watches again and a few SS styles. I hope we hear something soon
I called about my order, 42 SS BSB. They said might need to wait another week. It is going to be my third week. Ordered on 5/8 and was told I will receive it within two weeks. Waiting time at Apple Store is 4-6 weeks. I should've ordered from Apple.
Yea, likewise. Waiting 3 weeks is pushing it when you're told a few days to a week. Seems like whenever anyone starts talking to their credit card company, they get a call a day or two later. Coincidence?
I have a feeling if you call them everyday, you might get called faster. I will call again later today and call again tomorrow. Call two times a day.
Data point: I ordered my 42mm Milanese SS on 5/17 got a call last night to pick up today 5/21.
3 days - not too shabby!
Wife's matching 38mm Milanese still pending from 5/17

They always seem to have Milanese. You probably just were in the overstock list and no one else was in front of you. I however, am not.
Citi, I think we're in the same boat with the 38mm sg bsb watch and when we ordered it. Let us know if you hear anything from them. I will do the same. Probably after Memorial Day at this point. Funny because this was meant to be a Mother's Day present, but I'm sure my mom will be happy even if she gets it next week. If only her wrist was a little big bigger....
Doesn't sound like they got anything in today and they are out of bands but the Grove Apple Store had them so I was okay.

Which bands did the Apple store have?
The Grove location only had Sport in Pink, Blue, Green and Black with Stainless steel pin. No links, leather or metal bands
I can't wait for the store to get the loop and metal bands!!! Though they are shipping fast online right now most within 2 weeks. Still looks like Maxfields was a ghost town today no calls yet
Had to pull the celeb card again today (I work at a talent management company / production house down the street) and at first they said they had zero stock, and then they called back and pulled a 42mm stainless steel white sport band out of nowhere and we purchased. It was for the birthday of a day-to-day manager for one of our (very mainstream) artists.
Their knees get weak and they immediately cave if you work in talent...or are talent.

Hope you get that 6:45-7pm call.
Or anytime tomorrow before the weekend
This proves my point that they are showing favoritism towards higher end clients even though some of us have ordered weeks before them. This is BS....I hope I get the 6:45-7pm call but I am not holding my breath.
Yeah, it's absolutely a thing. I waited 14 hours outside the store for mine, but have been handily strolling out with watches for colleagues / talent for the past 2 weeks.
It's literally the outlet for Apple to get the watch in tastemaker and celeb hands without having to deal directly to them.
Which watch are you waiting for a call on?
They always seem to have Milanese. You probably just were in the overstock list and no one else was in front of you. I however, am not.
Sounds like someone's mad. I'm just special. They like me more than you.
42mm SB SS Link
one of the hardest ones unfortunelty. I don't have talent or big wig connections so I'll be waiting.42mm SB SS Link
We inquired about that same model and they told us "1-2 months" even with big wig connections. They said they haven't received a single one yet. Hell, we tried to get a 38mm Edition and they told us one to two months.
Best of luck, though. That model is worth the wait.
They lied to your face they have received that model cause one of the members on here picked there's up on Monday and even showed proof with the receipt and merchandise. So again Maxfields with there brilliant non knowledgable staff giving false information. They better have my watch in one week or I will be filling a dispute with my card you don't tell me 2-3 weeks and then not deliver anything for over a month or maybe even 2 not gonna happen.
