Order Thread for UK (BST)

No, 42 Milanese Loop.



Confirmation 8.05am :(



I keep telling myself that the watch is already in Uk and due to my £1 charge from Apple, there is no need to 'pre-charge'. Its a Credit Card, so they defo will get their money.


Not if you spend anything in the mean time. I used a credit card and Apple had taken it yesterday, I don't think I had £1 pre charge either.
 
Was this a second watch on a wave one order, or a watch on its own order.

I think some who ordered wave one watches that are now moving, have been charged for 4-6 week watches that were on the same order too

My confirmation email was time stamped 08:02:14 with a dispatch window of 12 May, 2015 - 26 May, 2015 i.e. 4 to 6 weeks. I was charged last night and it is still showing a processing at the moment.

My Sport with white band is now preparing to dispatch. So that's cool. The SS with black band, still no charge or change. They are clearly just processing in batches/waves, at the moment SS with white band is all going though. SS black sport band people, sit tight. It's happening and will be soon. We shall have Friday delivery, we shall look pimp and we shall still not really know what to do with it. :D
 
Just been charged 99p on my bank account that wasn't there an hour ago.

Haven't used my card for that amount at all. Is that some sort of authorisation for the wife's 38mm. My Space Grey 42mm has already been charged.
 
This is what it says on Apples website

Preparing for Dispatch:
We are preparing your item(s) to dispatch. While your order is being prepared, we are unable to modify your order details. We will email you a Dispatch Notification with complete order details once your order leaves our warehouse.

Are we to assume this means a UK warehouse after all?

Whilst I do think the watches are already here in the UK, this is a general definition for what Preparing for Dispatch means, whether is a warehouse here in the UK or a warehouse in China.
 
42 Classic Buckle 8.02 & 38 Milanese 8.03 now Preparing for Dispatch.

No money taken though.

Don't be delusional...
 
What I've noticed on mine, though, compared to others is that mine still says "Dispatched: June" while others have "Delivery: [date range somewhere in here]". No, I'm going to remain grounded. Or try to, anyway.

That's what my brain says too. But I still can't help but wonder if I'll get it Friday, given the status change.

I also ordered another band and it is still processing.

Has your card been charged? I can't see whether mine has or not.

Thats most likely a check from Apple if the card is active.
 
Anyone with HSBC actually had the charge/transaction appear in their account?
