Going kinda nuts!!

Ordered 2 SS White Sports Band 42mm.


One is dispatched the other still preparing for dispatch! It's killing me!!

Why is one being done and not the other? ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
 
Anyone ordered a 42mm SS with a leather band? I haven't seen many posts on this combo. I ordered 1 minute into the window and it was straight to 4-6 weeks. wondering if the band has something to do with it

As in the classic buckle? Yep, arriving tomorrow. Ordered about 0805 on 10/4.
 
My current working theory is the earliest orders are going to be shipped by UPS, who are picking up later... I hope. I've not seen a sub 8:04am order for my watch (42 sport white) ship yet...

Mines was ordered at 08:02am, and my mates at 08:06am.

Both have been dispatched, and collected by UK MAIL already. So your theory doesn't work, sorry!
 
first person to receive their watch tomorrow should start a "Praise Francis" thread and then everyone who then receives their watch simply post "Praise be to Francis and the Spicy Pork" Nothing else, just a thread full of that. See how long it lasts.
 
Ordered 42SS BSB 8:03. Preparing yesterday same as everyone, still no email or dispatched. Still prep.. Anyone got this combo dispatched? South UK.

Very similar, except I'm 38mm. Still "preparing". Also down South (until Saturday morning...so am working with a very slender window here :()

There's been a lot of daft theories about. Someone on another thread, it might be the US one, was saying that once it's scanned and on it's way then you'll be charged, but I don't see how that can possibly be the case because what if the credit card fails and it's at the back of a very full van?

I think this'll be the first time I've had something on launch day directly from Apple, my iPhone 6+ I ordered 2, one from Apple, one as an upgrade from EE, only the upgrade came on the launch day, the one from Apple came on the Monday.
 
Anyone who ordered a 42mm Space Grey Sport Model had a dispatched notice? I haven't although I am only about 5 miles from Syncreon Hinckley which makes me think UK mail will probably collect it later on tonight.

Mines been collected by ukmail for delivery tomorrow.

Mine was charged and went to preparing about 1500 yesterday. Time on my order email was 0803 also.
 
Alright how about this... Thousands of watches are in the depot, and they pick one and scan it, now just waiting for the other X amount of vans to arrive, to resume, and they're just getting to the ones that are still "Prepairing for Dispatch"

Francis PLS, I'll give you an unlimited supply of Spicy Pork Salad !!
 
So my SS 42 black sport band still hasn't moved from processing despite ordering in first few minutes.

Does anyone know if the stores will have stock tomorrow?

Thanks

Josh
 
38mm Space Grey/Black Sport. Still processing. Order confirmation at 3:05 and in the May 12 window. :(
 
OH MY GOD!!! I'm beyond fed up of refreshing and mithering myself about this watch!!! It totally reminds me of the Pebble Steel thread this time last year.....

I'm going to shut this down, have some spicy pork and either the notification of dispatch will come, or it won't!!! Grrrrr

Was 8:02 and currently sitting at Preparing to Dispatch.... South of Guildford for me..
 
I need the delivery driver to call me when they arrive at the address as there's no buzzer entry system or doorbell to my flat. Do you think they'll be alright doing this if I contact UK Mail?
 
Oddly my 42 Sport which had a June shipping date has overtaken the 24/4 38 Sport to say 'Shipped'. The latter is still 'Preparing for Dispatch'.
