Anyone had any recent experience with DSM?
I was there at opening this morning and managed to get an appointment for 11.30 tomorrow.
Looking to get a 42mm, either SS or Sports. Anyone who's been today or is going able to let me know what stock levels are like?

I hope so. I go on holiday a week on Friday and just know that Sod's law will have it dispatch next Thursday
Its a piece of ruby code haha
Checks every 30 seconds and the second it changes it emails me.
Also prints to the screen (hence the readout)
Code:
require 'rubygems'
require 'mechanize'
require 'pony'
Pony.options = {
:from => 'you@you.com',
:via => :smtp,
:via_options => {
:address => 'your-mailhost.you.com',
:port => '587',
:enable_starttls_auto => true,
:user_name => 'mail-user-name',
:password => 'mail-password',
:authentication => :login,
:domain => "localhost.localdomain"
}
}
a = Mechanize.new
a.user_agent_alias = 'Mac Safari'
url = 'http://store.apple.com/go/uk/vieworder/APPLE_ORDER_NO/EMAIL_ADDRESS/'
status = 'Processing Items'
while status == 'Processing Items'
page = a.get(url) rescue nil
if page
status = page.search('.h3 .strong')[0].text
delivery = page.search('.h5 > .block')[0].text.strip.gsub(/\s+/, ' ')
puts "#{Time.now.strftime('%H:%M:%S')} - #{status} - #{delivery}"
else
puts "#{Time.now.strftime('%H:%M:%S')} - Unable to contact Apple Store"
end
sleep 300
end
Pony.mail(:to => 'you@you.com', subject: "Apple Store Order ", body: "Order status now: #{status}\n\n#{url}")I have changed mine now to let me when it dispatches

Im still in processing hell...
I wasn't aware that any Space Black links have moved?
Plus you ordered at 8:03 didn't you? You will be first
Obviously two more - firstly Dispatched when there is no tracking info, then Dispatched with tracking info, at which point you'll need a whole new script to monitor the UPS/UKMail tracking page
(maybe a third, being the one where you sit by a window and twitch with excitement every time you hear a diesel engine, and stand up to look outside every time you hear a diesel engine slowing down

Been there yesterday, the only 42mm they have is Classic Buckle SS. Could be all out now. They have a lot of 38mms though.

Wish I lived in the UK at this point... Anyone owning a business willing to pickup one and re-sell to my company?
Think I was behind you in the DSM queue - I've got a 1pm appointment tomorrow. They mentioned to the guy two in-front of me that they had a few 42mm's in stock, but didn't mention if they were Sports or SS.
I asked about the 38mm Space Black, and they claimed to have stock of those today, but in the SS version and not the Sports version I would prefer. Said they get new stock every day, so I will keep my 1pm appointment just in case they get stock tomorrow.
Passed by Selfridges on my way back to work, and they don't have the 38mm Space Black Sports, but 'almost every other variety' of that size in the Sports range.
Hope that's helpful for someone.
