I placed it on the 26th September with a delivery date of 25th October - 1st November but its arriving on the 12th October
That's good news - I placed an order for my 40mm Aluminium watch on 29th September, currently arriving 30 Oct - 6th Nov. Fingers crossed mine comes next week!

Nope, Apple told me that they didn't have any priority replacements in stock. Thats why i had to wait for two weeks for the status to change to shipped

Did your replacement turn up today? How is it? Mine turned up at 2.30, only had enough time before work to do a restore on it but seems ok.

Congrats! You were lucky to be able to snap it up with the gold milanese. I got mine from KRCS with a stone band and just got back from Apple Regent Street with a gold ML:)

I was a bit worried that I won’t like it but it’s a very “bronze” sort of gold like the watch.

Tried the black one as well, which would have looked great, had it not been for the black connectors.

Thanks. I did exactly the same as you though haha. Bagged the gold with stone strap and went to my local apple store this afternoon and bought the Milanese.

Love it. Really is a work of art.

It’s an interesting colour. I see different shades of gold in different lights. I see what you mean though. Has a bronzey feeling to it

lol you had me wondering if you were lucky enough to have called KRCS exactly as someone was bringing in the only UK set of this type!

Enjoy!

It's ridiculous. If you buy online or over the phone they say you are allowed to open and inspect the watch but if you buy in store it must be returned unopened! Watching one on eBay and it's already up to £340 with 4 days to go. I paid £429 so I guess anything over £380 would be acceptable? Also, the watch in question the seller says there's a small scratch on it so again, a mint condition one should make £380+

I'd assume that's because the Distance Selling Regulations (now the Consumer Contracts Regulations) apply in one case but not the other.

At last. My 44 ss which was due 22-29 oct should be here on monday 15th.

I hope it fits ok. I hadn’t really give it much thought since I’ve had a 42mm series 0 since launch which is a perfect size, but my wrists are quite thin.

Everything I've seen indicates that if the 42 fit well, the 44 will too.

It will fit but for me, the 44mm looked oversized (not bad, just a bit chunky), so I bought the 40mm and will decide which to return!

Hi all, my order is currently showing end of the month, after reading some recent posts do you all think it might come sooner?

Looks like most apple stores have 40mm SS in stock for pickup tomorrow in most combinations (gold looks rare though).

44 SS still as rare as rocking horse poop.

I would just go and pick one up from a local Apple store and then once you have it cancel your online order.

I’m still waiting on my SS 44mm replacement.. 5th November estimate but I’m hoping to bag a store one sooner. Can’t believe the lack of Stainless Steel models for the UK.

If anyone is looking for a 44mm SG GPS Nike with reflective loop and can collect from Leamington, I have one going for RRP (worn a couple of times but mint condition) - am just going to return it otherwise, but Apple's system was down today so they couldn't process it!!

I know this model with the reflective band is slightly hard to find at the moment, bit of a long shot but thought I'd offer it just in case. Getting picked up by UPS this week otherwise, decided I preferred the silver watch.

I live in Leamington too. Small world. But I’m after a SSS White Sport band.
