I think its pretty gender equal, but i just didn't like the way it sat and i could tell it would pinch the hairs on your arm and that would be annoying.

Haha! Well it still looks good with the SG. Here's a post from another thread with a couple of photos.

Hi. Could you ask for space gray sport with black band stock situation once inside (any size)? My appointment is set for later in the day and thats the only colour/model watch I am interested in really.
Thanks.
Ok
Got one!!!!! 42 ss white band.
Oh to the two blokes who got one each and then went back to the end of the que. I hope they recognise you and throw you out. They are being strict about one per person but I hope you waste an hour because you were told.

How long did it take you to get through the queue? Did you have to book an appointment?

They can ship all the parts to me and I will single handedly assemble all the SG watches for the UK, might be able to do it quicker.
How are the 42mm SS with White sport band coming along? I've got a June dispatch (ordered this morning) and as we know we can't trust the current timeframes.
No appt. q for 45 mins. But if people do turn up for appts they take them first. Looks like an efficient operation

Thanks. Just PM'd you - feel free to disregard. Do you know if they had many Space Grey 42mm watches? Mine's still processing so I might just go to Dover St instead.

so in the meantime... has anyone found any worthwhile video's on guides (apart from apple's) etc,..?
Hi
They were vague about how much stock they had. The person in front told me they had no SS. But they did

It's Lloyds Bank and the hold charge is the full amount of the watch (339). Did your status change to preparing for ship while the charge was pending? And what time did you order your watch? Cheers.

Well yesterday was a big pain in the a**.
My delivery slot was between 1:30 - 2:30. After waiting until 5pm I rang up customer services who told me it was still out for delivery and to give it until 8pm.
Luckily I checked my tracking on Free Parcels app and it showed my delivery as scanned back into the warehouse at 16:55!!!
I rang up customer services again and they again told me it was still out for delivery (which their own website showed as well) so I told them that the app showed it as back at the depot to which she then said "oh yeah, lets send them an email to find out why". Luckily the depot is open until 8pm and I managed to get there in time to collect it myself.
If it wasn't for me checking the app I would of probably been waiting until Monday 🙁

I was lucky. The UPS delivery man tried to deliver yesterday afternoon at around 4:40 but no one was home and he left a card. In the mean time I was checking my tracking at work regularly and when I realised this I called them up and asked them if I could pick it up that evening as I work about 15 minutes walk from the local dept and the lady said yes but I would need photo ID which I didn't have on me but I thought I would try my luck. She said to go pick it up anytime between 6pm and 8 pm.
As I left work at 5pm I went to my local Costa coffee place to wait it out. I had my iPad with me and they have free Wi-Fi so it would be easy to pass the time checking threads on these forums. Whilst I was in Costa I checked my order for my additional charge cable and noticed someone at home had signed for my watch. As it happened someone came home about 10-15 minutes later and the UPS delivery man was still around and saw them and came back to deliver my watch. If he hadn't the chances are I would have had to wait until Monday to pick it up. So good result in the end. 😀
