My 40mm gold stainless steel with Milanese band just switched to 'preparing to ship'. Shipping is supposed to be September 25-27. Pending charge just hit my CC.
 
My watch just left Louisville and is now en route to Ontario, CA!
My watch is still stuck in Louisville. I'm in the Bay Area, so I have no idea what's going on anymore lol
[doublepost=1537474250][/doublepost]For those of you who are getting their watches delivered to the Bay Area, has your watch left Louisville yet?

I have been busy at work, but sometime in the last two hours my 44mm SB SS hit “preparing to ship” on the website and I have a pending charge on my credit card. I guess there is a chance it comes tomorrow with my wife’s 40mm. Crosses fingers!
 
I live in the Bay Area. My watch did leave Kentucky at 2:38 PM

Seems like everybody who's getting early status updates are those that purchased aluminum models. I'm in the Oct 5 - Oct 12 window and it's still just processing. :(
 
My SS 44 is in Louisville. The Tmobile site is worthless still says order is processing. Pleasantly surprised to get mine since I did not order until 1:00 PM last Friday. Could not justify the Hermes this go around.
 
I ordered 9/14 from Apple. Aluminum Gold (with Cellular). Has always showed Arrival date of Oct 12 - Oct 19.

Credit was just charged today and it now shows as preparing to ship. I hope this means it will be here way early....
 
Mine did not lol

Why is mine not updating?

Though I'm tracking flights from Louisville to Bay Area through UPS and there was one scheduled to depart at 4:06PM EDT but is still on the tarmac.
i am in southern california, i am expecting mine to leave this evening/night to be delivered tomorrow.
i called ups to see if the driver can drop at their dropoff/pickup location, the CS rep said, as this is international package, they cannot change unless it is in CA, so have to call them tomorrow morning to change delivery. cant wait all day for the driver to show up.

Oh, good luck with calling tomorrow morning! Yeah, maybe it'll leave Louisville tonight or something. I'm way too excited lol

My SS 40mm had a date of Oct 2-5, now shows "Preparing to Ship" on Apple's order site! Might get it sometime next week! Exciting.
 
For those of you having watches delivered south of Kentucky, where is the next drop? Im in Alabama and mine left Louisville at 2:38 PM. How do I track on FlightAware?

Sweet, hoping for the same on mine. Cellular 44mm Alum w seashell band
 
44mm Space Black with a 9/28-10/2 window just went preparing to ship!!
Excellent news. Did you get any sort of notification when the status changed or were you just checking it every 30 seconds like I’ve been doing?

Wife has off work tonight so I won’t even have a chance to check on it once we take off for the grocery store but as of right now, my SBSS 44 with a ship window of 10/5 - 10/12 is still showing as “Processing”.

Maybe I’ll have a nice surprise when I wake up tomorrow.
