Preparing for dispatch AND had the email...

Ok, I guess that invalidates my initial theory! Was it just one order you made? I got an email but doublechecked and it was only for the "still processing" one of my 2 orders.
 
I've never spent over £500 on a watch before Apple Watch and of course this is NOT a mechanical watch. They are so last century. #

Wow, that statement just makes you sound a little uneducated. Mechanical watches are investment pieces, they outlive humans and retain value well.

Meanwhile at Apple, Cupertino...

Angela: Hey Tim... I need to rub some salt in the wounds of the watch customers

Tim: A vague email will really piss em off.
 
Email received that my SG 42mm will arrive between 24/04 and 08/05. Still on processing despite order confirmation at 08:03.

I accept that I can't expect delivery before 08/05 but Apple are not showing themselves well here at all. Their press comment earlier about customers receiving watches in order is complete nonsense. Many ordering the same watch as I have moved to the next stage whilst I haven't. That's very poor management. Leaves a sour taste, to be honest.

It's a watch, and not that important, but Apple should be careful about the comments they make.
 
I'm starting to think about cancelling my current order (42mm Space Grey/Black Sport) and re-ordering with the 42mm SS with either Milanese or Classic Buckle and just accepting the June wait.

Since they don't charge until shipment I can afford to pay a little bit extra.
 
38mm white sports, late in the day 10/04...shipping expected June. The email references this order number.

I'd also ordered the dreaded SG 42mm at 8:04...no movement on that one

It was expected in June, so didn't have the original launch delivery timeframe, hence the email!

Therefore my theory holds, with an addon!

Preparing for dispatch + launch timeframe + NO EMAIL = FRIDAY DELIVERY

How come?
