The Hickley distribution centre DOES have our watches, some will start changing later today and during the night tomorrow as they're unpacking and allocating stock

And how do you know this "fact"?

----------

Well, it's getting near 2pm for the guy who told us it was certain we would start getting bank debits at that time!

Come to think of it, he's been awfully quiet. haha

Yes because he was obviously trolling lol
 
My twopenneth: there is a 2 week window this time because of the nature of the product. It's not a phone with a few colours and sizes, it's 3 products, in 2 sizes and a shed load of different strap styles.

Apple didn't know which ones would be popular for pre order and which wouldn't. They've probably guessed at which the popular ones would be and have more stock of those. Thereby those people will get their watch on Friday.

Sort of: by that claim the Friday deliveries would be for what Apple expected to be popular but really were not popular.

Either way let's remember everyone had the 24/4-8/5 window (except some configs which started at 4-6 weeks) which then lengthened as inventory sold out.
 
I remember seeing "in most location 24/4" (owtte) as estimated delivery date for Sport models 3-4 days before pre-order. So i have faith for 24th
 
I ordered my SS 42 with black sport at around 15:30, and was fully expecting to be in the June gang (or later!). However I'm actually in the 12/5 - 26/5 gang.... so despite ordering 7.5 hours after opening, I was still in the 2nd wave, so to speak.

Fingers crossed it may come sooner than expected.
 
My last post was at 12
Was on lunch 12:30 to 1:30
Plus I have nothing else to add, I've told you all I know , what do you want me to do, Fan the flames ?

Do you have any clue, when the charging starts in Germany?

Yeah my order was through at 8.02 UK time. 42mm SS with link and I just don't think they had that configuration ready to ship and that's why I ended up in the 12/05-26/05

Well, only 12 minutes to go and we will know if you were telling the truth.

It's the easiest way we catch you out. We literally don't have to do anything but wait. haha.

As much as i do hope you're correct and want you to be, I have seen these posts so much over the last 2 weeks, that i find it hard to believe. Soz.

This is going to sound like backtracking but it's not, don't quote me at 2:01 and say I lied. Just because it is scheduled for 2 doesn't mean someone is going to scan the barcode right then and there. Give me some time if nothing's happened bang on 2

Lets give him some leeway. 30-40 minutes for the banks to get their arses into gear.

Spicy pork salad, was very nice

Sounds better than my pulled pork sandwich.

You sure you aren't backtracking, just a little? ;)

I'm already heating up the pitchfork, and the lynch mob are doing their stretching exercises right now. 4 minutes then we ride.
 
I'm not 100% sure but I might have been charged for two straps. Have had £168 disappear from my cleared balance. On Barclays iPhone app.
I did order leather loop (£129) and sports strap (£39) so could be them or a coincidence! Although they have shipping dates of 28/4 and 30/4.
Defo no charge on the watch though...
