Guys chill. The one's that say 'Preparing for Shipment' now in the UK are being shipped from Asia in the next 24 hours. They should have ordered from 8:04am onwards. The first batch goes to 08:01-08:03am whose watches are at Syncreon in Leicester, These will still say Processing but should have had cards charged.

And you know this how?

My confirmation email was at 08:04 and still showing as processing with no charge.

What about 8:04am, still processing? ;)

My friend's space grey that is preparing was ordered at 8:03am.

There's hope for us all if your 42mm Space Grey Sport has been charged as well - especially if you were given a June date!

I'm in the 23/4-8/5 category and haven't been charged. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

There's no charge showing on my online banking yet but I get a text message every time there's a transaction on my account. Sometimes it takes 3-4 days for it to actually show up online. It might be that a lot of people are being charged but don't know it yet.
 
Don't get me wrong. It felt amazing. But it just didn't look right to me. Maybe it is because I'm stocky and 6"2. Really didn't suit me

Agreed there, really liked the idea of it at first but when I had it on me in person I had mixed feelings. In many ways it surpasses expectations, but I found it just wasn't quite right for me. I think part of it is how straight it is, I like the nice taper the sport bands and leather loops have :) plus yes, as a fellow bigun it looks a bit funny on large wrists!

Well that's clearly not true. My confirmation is 8:03am and my watch says 'preparing for dispatch'.

Mine was confirmed at 8:02 but is showing as preparing for shipment... Doesn't fit your theory.

Well dependant on your timestamp. I.E when you received your email from Apple server and also what model you ordered.

I know that there are a **** ton of watches at Syncreon being collected by couriers tomorrow and thurs.
 
I ordered a 42mm space grey sport and got confirmation email at 8.03 on the 10th. Why no charge on canard yet? :-(
 
42 sport white here. 8:02. credit card charged, but still processing.

Now's the part where I try and stay chill that someone else at 8:12 with the same watch has moved on to preparing for dispatch!

I would assume whatever supplies are in the UK warehouses currently were allocated to those who ordered first, so it's not surprising that later orders are dispatching now if they're coming from China.
 
SS 38mm milanese loop
order confirmation 8.05

Still showing as processing, but money taken from CC.

I was anxious because I placed my order while on holiday in China. Have just flown back from China today - pity I couldn't pick my watch up while I was there!

You could have brought back ours too! #
