SG 42mm
Order confirmation - 12:03:28am 10th April
EOD last night
Charged at 10:53am today
Preparing for shipment around 11:50am today
 
For those of us who were stuck at processing w/ no charges until just a bit ago, I'm very optimistic we'll get our watches tomorrow. There are about a half dozen planes just about to land in Anchorage from Asia. :D

So you're thinking the charges happen while in the air before landing in Anchorage?

I read somewhere that the watches were made in the U.S.

Space Grey Sport 42mm. Email confirm x:03 am. Charged and preparing for shipment today. Crossing fingers for overnight! No UPS MyChoice info yet.
 
If I only knew that purchasing 90 minutes after launch would delay my 42mm SG by weeks, I would have not hit that damn snooze button at 1:45am CST.

I think this last round of charges was not relating to a plane shipment, there are/were watches elsewhere that they started moving on. Charges this early in the day haven't happened any of the previous days this week. Perhaps watches that arrived but didn't get allocated to orders until they reached their destination regional hub. This may continue to happen throughout the day if that's the case.

However, the next big fleet of planes landing in the next hour or so will seal the deal for a lot of us XX:03 and XX:04 folks.

mine has been in Tenn, not coming from China
 
I would guess they are processing the shipments that are further away from the distribution hub before those that are close based on order time and allotment.

I am in the :04 confirmation group for 42 SG with no other order activity or EOD. Nashville.
 
3:03am confirmation email. 42m SGSport. No CC charge and still processing. Located in Philadelphia.

I chatted with support online and they basically just said you have a an estimate of 4/24-5/8 and we will let you know as soon as it's on a truck.

:(
 
so to get the seconds I went to Gmail and looked at "show original" on the drop down button it says this

is that ok 12:04:05 right?
 
My theory is that in order to prevent early delivery of the stupid watch, Apple held them back until the latest possible moment in order to ensure accurate delivery.
