I'm eagerly awaiting for a damn pre-order!

As late as Dec 21. Judging by the past releases with this wording expect closer to that date than the current date. However due to the holidays I’d wager/hope (as a shareholder) by Dec 1. You have to let those preorders arrive by Christmas.

Missing that date would be a major fail. Especially if they sell S6 up to it.
 
The absolute earliest is Apple press release tomorrow (September 24th) and website update, pre-order following Friday and launch October 8th. More likely will probably be a press release October 4th, with preorders that following Friday, October 8th and launch October 15th. Apparently there's rumors of an Apple Event October 12th so I am thinking we know a release date before then. Apple would have announced the Apple Watch at that Event if it was much later.

Also I believe mass production stated this week (according to Jon Prosser/Kuo)

Good prediction. That makes sense.
