My card had the wrong expiration date(which on their end it looked like it wouldn't authorize), and they let me fix my payment method over 24 hours after I got the email. So that's as much as I know :)

cheers, I'm in the UK and have a feeling the stock will move faster than estimated and jus wanted to make sure I'm ok without the order being cancelled and having to re-order and wait again an eternity for a new one!

Lol I think Wednesday too. I bet we won't see any change til tonight and then bam! It's there Wednesday. Are you going to pick it up or are you going to have UPS drop it off?

I will just have UPS drop it off. It will be home waiting for me when I get there hopefully. UPS usually drops off pretty late at my house. I haven't seen any more changes yet, just credit card charged.
 
FINALLY! Just got charged seconds ago. Will update as soon as it changes to PFS.

Seems like Euro orders are getting filled fast, doesn't seem fair. Ordered mine on 4/14, and it still says : "Available to ship: June".

I'm in nearly the same boat as you. 42mm ordered on 4/12. I'm in 'Processing Prison'. Hope to be paroled before my June date.

Man...I'm happy to see the 42s moving today!!! I think once they get past the initial logjam of early orders, say, up to the 10-minute mark, things will take off quickly (or at least that's what I'm telling myself to keep a bit of sanity).
 
To give some hope, or anger: looks like the later 6's are making it now. Of course, I have NO idea when I originally submitted, but it felt like forever before my confirmation email came in so apply might have me as an early 6 in their system.

Went through pretty much the same thing with my space gray iPhone 6+, so I'm just being patient.
 
Recovering Space Grey customer

LOL. Just thought this was funny. Like many in this thread...ordered the 42mm Space grey BSB on 4/10 but 6 hours after launch. I continually followed this thread and the "June shipments" thread daily to try and find any shipping trends or good news that orders for everyone would suddenly start to ship regardless of when you placed your order. It became a ritual:

1. check for any new credit card charges

2. check order status

3. follow-up in forums on macrumors.com

Same thing every day, multiple times a day. As days passed and the more I tried to convince myself that the 42mm size was the right choice despite it looking awkwardly big on my wrist at the store, the more I was leaning towards cancelling the order and getting a 38mm SS BCB that happened to be shipping faster than any other model. I finally did that on Sunday. Since then, I still come to the forums to just read up on other Apple watch related posts unrelated to orders. Here's where it gets funny for me...whenever I see the space grey thread or june orders thread, I get this sinking feeling as if I'm on some recovery program and the memory of the ritual still haunts me. It's like i went through some traumatic experience and still haven't mentally recovered. LOL. Anyway...just wanted to share and hope you find some humor in this.

38mm preparing

Came home from dinner out last night to find my 38mm Space Gray Sport Black was charged and preparing to ship!

Seems to me the order fulfillment process is working a lot like a grocery store with multiple checkout lines. In general people are being served in order, but some lines move faster than others in a chaotic way depending on many factors. Jumping from one line to another (i.e. canceling one watch order and ordering a seemingly less popular model)... might pay off, or might not. In the end, we'll all eventually get through the lines and on our way.
