How many seconds

About half an hour ago Apple charged my card and my status has been changed to Preparing for Shipment.

42mm SG Sport order confirmation at XX:03

Hope the rest of you guys who ordered in the :03 window see a change in your order soon! :)

I'm 3:03:29. How many seconds is after your 3:03 am. Please froward original confirmation email to yourself to see seconds. Also, where are you I'm in Long Island NY
 
42mm Space Gray Sport just got charged and is now "Preparing for Shipment".
38mm Space Gray Sport is still processing and hasn't been charged.

Both orders were confirmed at 3:03am.
 
00:03:28... No charge, still "Processing."

I had convinced myself it wouldn't arrive on Friday - but after the last 10 minutes, I started to believe again haha!
 
Friendly sysadmin here. Just wondering if the seconds on the email actually matter. The time the order was placed is more telling (if we could even get that information). The email could have theoretically been sent out of sequence. It's highly unlikely that every server that processes orders has a local SMTP server, so network latency could cause emails to be sent out of order. Just a thought.

This - plus emails later than mine (.28 vs .44) have been charged

VERY true, but it is our non-scientific way of watching the progress. Also consider most people are using Gmail anyway so the seconds times are going to be good enough for the receipt.
 
No way to track that

Hello. There is no way to track when we ordered but one can assume that if his/her confirmation email was 3:03:29, his/her order time was prior to thaht
 
Are we done for the day? Or more planes en route?

Looks like there's one more China Cargo this afternoon, and - this is interesting - what looks to be another pair of China Cargo charters going direct from Shanghai Pudong (the airport nearest the Quanta factory that is assembling watches) to Anchorage at midnight PT. Who knows, there might be some late night action....

How do you get the seconds to show within gmail? I've tried forwarding the email to myself and it doesn't work.

Top of the email (when using from the browser) click the drop down and then click "Show Original"
