Haha. Just the other day I was going to ask if the OP is even still around. Lol
Congrats! To think we had the same order time. :O
Well, as we saw with Bryanhobbs (who's an 04), Apple's had some anomalies in their system with getting people processed in series. We did see a bunch of 05's previously when we last had progress in the US, so there's a good chance that a large percentage of them are done.
I really hope most of the US orders were 05 or earlier.
Would make the movement quick - perhaps today we'll see!----------
Chris, you really didn't give it a chance at all - you only got it on the 22nd. A friend of mine returned it after a week and I told him he should have tried it out for longer.
You have 14 business days - so it should be 18 days (then you call them and tell them that you want to return it - you get another 14 days to stick it in the mail).
Are you sure you don't want to at least try it out?
To the rest of the thread - Chris' 42mm watch up for grabs - who's gonna make a road trip to Chicago?! (I'm tempted)
It is chulan we are talking about here. Lol
So just me and one other are charged? No one on reddit said anything last night either. I'm sure more were charged but this is a small number.
That's the problem - we have no idea how much our numbers here reflect the total numbers and the density of the order distribution.
My guess - most MacRumors folks were up in the wee hours and ordered quickly. So, we'll likely see most of the users here are serviced in the first 5 minutes. (definitely the first 10)
Also, today's a holiday in the US. Chances are a lot of you are sleeping in!!
Heh...or "sleeping it off".

Haha. I went to see mad max late last night (great movie imo). Got home around 1 or so and had the Apple pay notification that my chase card had a pending charge over 1000. At first I thought it was my girls watch since I know it should've been close to 1300 with Apple care but the amount didn't add up. So it turned out its just the watch itself. I was going to be so mad. Lol
Hmm. I think I'll wait til it comes out on BluRay.
I typically don't like remakes. Especially when they're "classics". Sometimes they do a better job. How do you think the remake compares to the original?Anyone still lurking in here - any 05's left in the US that haven't been charged?
crazy that i placed my order three minutes after the website went live and received confirmation at XX:05 and still am processing. And to top it off when i placed my order it said MAy 13-27 as a shipping range but when it proessed it changed the date to "june". The whole process has been less than transparent and for asking a cusomter to stay up until 2am it seems silly to not be able to meet the demand of the first 5 minutes a month after launching...
If you don't already, you should make sure you've got alerts setup on both your order (notifications) on the Apple site as well as large charges on the CC you used.
Hopefully we have a busy week like last week and you get charged today or tomorrow.
My thoughts exactly. I just find it difficult to believe that Apple can bend the laws of physics to make these wonderful products, but can't work out how many of each one to make. Especially when it was announced 6 months before we could order and there's no where near the same demand as the iPhone or iPad has.
In February we were told (via various blogs) that they had ordered 5 million units.
In March we were told the prices.
In April we could order them.
At the end of May, we're still looking at completing orders made in the first few hours / days.

I personally think they did a great job. It's definitely worth the movie trip. It's been a long time since I've rewatched the original tho.
I was 05:49. I can't imagine there are too many 05s left.

What are your seconds?
BryanHobbs (who's an :04) was in the May window. He had a conversation with Apple and they gave him a June 1-3 window.
They messed up. Think he said he was finally charged Friday. If he gets his watch on Wednesday, they'll have hit their window, but he'd be the last in the group to get his watch.
First I've heard of them pushing someone out at the last minute. Not sure how that could happen in their system.
UPSS77 is in the bullpen at Shenzhen, destination will be Anchorage.
I am hoping for more SSSB will be on that flight.
Congrats Forte, your journey is almost complete! I am still a minute behind you.

I love my Springfield MC Operator! I was thinking of stepping it up a notch to a Brown or Wilson. I recently got a 9 Shield and love that, the G43 is next. You will LOVE a quality 1911!! It is so smooth and accurate.
Talk about scares... I live in the silly state called California. We even get no love for the AW! Our shipments are behind all the other states!!!
I still need a 10-22. I wanted the bull barrel model for those long range shots.
I still have a few projects waiting...have to get my P7M8 refinished, send the AK to Rifle Dynamics for work, and build up my AR too.
PAM= Panerai watch.

We've had 8 planes already. What will this one do? I have a feeling they are waiting for tonight / tomorrow morning
I hope it will have The Watch. It's coming from the closest airport (Shenzhen) to Apple's "factory" as I understand it.
Shouldnt all of the other planes have apple watches too? That's what we seen on Sunday's. Be fleet of planes and then charges that night or a day after.
None of the shipping is Apple. This is UPS doing all of the legwork to move these around.
It may be Apple doing some allocations once they hit Louisville (or Ontario, California - it seems a lot of the bands come from Ontario - think they have a warehouse there), or they could already have all the info they need to batch them up and ship them all over the world from there. (guessing the ones for AsiaPac likely don't come to the U.S., but who knows?)
Exactly. That's why I listed flight UPS77.
I live in Los Angeles area and my SSG came from Louisville, even though Ontario is only about an hour away. Wonder if the watch hub is Louisville and the bands are Ontario??
It's all a mystery.
I went to watch Tomorrowland last night lol. I heard a lot about the mad max, I wanna watch that next.
How was Tomorrowland? Think kids would like it? I am seeing that today.
I cannot wait for Star Wars!!
