Space Gray Orders Post here!

42mm space grey
xx:13:10amEST.
May13-27 group
S. FL.
I was thinking to cancel then reorder a 42mm sports watch with any color watch band, to get the watch faster; then order a extra BLK band but their are only two 42mm space Greys($399 and $1100) to go with my 6 Plus.
This was my first preorder and I did learn a lot, I watch my clock from mid-night until 2:57am with my PC and apple gift card in my hand. I think I refresh my PC like 100 times, no Apple Store until 3:10am and the 42mm space grey was already in my favorite box, and check out was a breeze until I started to enter the gift card numbers. Less than three minutes to get my order in and out, it just life. It's good to see some people from the May 13/27 getting the watch really early:)
 
UPS 81 landing in the hour. Since my CC got charged last night will my watch be on this one??? Hoping...

Some quick math and I figure that over 246,000 watches could fit on that plane. Thats at 3 lbs. each. Not sure about the dimensions compared to plane shape, but safe to say Apple is not releasing almost a quarter million watches a night. Thus we continue to see only one flight from the supposed export hub of Shanghai. I'm sure all the watches they can produce in a day are sure to fit on 1 plane and leave room for the rest of UPS packages.
 
Every night since the launch has had planes land and people report getting charges or some sort of change. Seems tonight is eerily quite. Not sure what that means. Maybe they've sold through all their manufactured units and orders will be filled a much slower pace now?

Or soon after flight 81 lands...I know grasping at straws, but it seems so close now. Just Ship It!

Think I might need to copyright that last little ditty, lest Nike sues for patent infringement.

UPS77 flight from Anchorage lands in Ontario CA in about an hr. Hopefully some of your watches will be on there. I ordered mine yesterday, so not expecting any movement on my order for a very long time. :(

Hopefully the 'very long time' will end up being just a few weeks! I'm hoping for you bud!

But I also want to ask, is Ontario the closest in California? I'm use to UPS coming through Oakland, which is a lot closer. I searched the flight planner, but didn't see any earlier.
Anybody looking from or have had deliver in the Bay Area or Mid California?

Maybe. I think it is also important to remember we probably don't even have close to a good sample size represented on these forums. Quiet on here does not necessarily imply that there wasn't a flurry of updates.

Someone put together that ordertracker.me site... and like usual. Lots of people registered hoping to keep tabs on their eventual shipping time, then when they get their watch zero F's are given.

I just signed up with full F's given. I'll really try to remember to update the site as I get updates.

I was only looking at Ontario CA because I saw some people posting about their watches passing through there.
 
Please correct me if my observation is flawed, but does it not seem that the flow of shipments were on the 42mm side, but have now shifted to the 38? There seem to be :04s that are still waiting on 42s, but now the 38s are shipping for the :05s and some :06s.

38mm SG w/black Sport band
Email xx:06:27
No EOD
No charge, no status change, no way, no how. :(
Shipping to Tampa Bay
 
Just for reference.

My 42mm SG 4/24 - 5/8 order from xx:04:31
Got charged on 4/27, got tracking on 4/28, hopefully if all goes according to plan, I'll get it on 4/29.

Based on the serial number in my Support Profile, it was made in the 16th week of 2015, so about 2 weeks ago, it's week 18 right now.

So I do not think it's a case made yesterday, shipped today.

Can you tell me the origins of the tracking? I'm trying to figure out where they are shipping out of, and even though were 2.5k miles away, It might shed some light to me as where to start to look.
